Our list of published family stories of New Zealand Mathesons has grown to six, with the addition of a new book about one person’s First World War service. ‘Answering the call: Colin Matheson in the First World War’ tells the story of the father of Doug Matheson, who was trained to fight and sent to the Western Front in the latter years of that conflict.
Researching and writing the stories of individuals or their families brings history to life, and records people’s experiences for future generations.
