Thanks Bren,
It must be one of the world wars that he was killed in then. Family lore states he died 'At War'. I will have to keep searching for him.

Hi Bren,
Horace Montague Cross was the son of James Smith Cross jnr & Elizabeth Ann Askew, born 19/5/1881 in Nelson. The family moved to Wellington. Horace's sister Beatrice Louise Cross is my g/g/mother. I have a photo of a young Beatrice & a young boy who I believe might be Horace,
Cheers
