Feltus has sent in no less than three distinct claims :— Firstly, for his father’s right as a soldier in H.M. 58th Regiment, and who retired from the service to settle in New Zealand with his pension, but was thrown overboaad on the shores of New Zealand, being the last of 71 deaths. He was then en route with the New Zealand Fencibles. Secondly for his only brother, who left his home at the call of duty, and lost his life in the Waikato War. And thirdly for himself, having as a volunteer and i suer of stores for the Colonial Government travelled throughout the whole district from Auckland to the front day and night.
