>>Hi again Tony

Very interested to read this morning of Lieutenant Colonel Porritt.There is a very famous New Zealander called Sir Arthur Porritt who was born in 1900.

You would think that there must be a family connection with such an unusual name.

Sir Arthur was a surgeon, personal physician to Montgomery during the war and later the Queen.

He was also a very accomplished Olympic runner.

Later he became the first NZ born Governor General.

Perhaps a local historian could investigate.

Best wishes Roy.
