Wilson McKIE also served WW1.

On enlistment, he gave his next-of-kin as "Miss H. J. McKIE (sister), 87 Liverpool Street, Wanganui".

Archives NZ hold a service record for Wilson.
These records are now able to be digistised for viewing online.   If you'd like Wilson's record, then please see the notes - in the Resources section of this board - about making a digitisation request.
