Maurice Allom of Mt Eden Rd, Auckland, born 1886, volunteered at the outbreak of war and served with the Auckland Infantry Regiment, service number 12-12. leaving New Zealand on the Waimana in October 1914 as part of the Main Body, and saw service in the Suez Canal action in February 1915 (Ismailia) and then served on Gallipoli, landing with the Auckland Regiment on 25 April, and serving through until June 1915 when he was wounded when a gun blew up alongside him causing a total loss of hearing. This was probably at the Daisy Patch (on 8 May) where several of his friends were killed. He was reported wounded on 20 May, and returned to Egypt for hospitalisation in July 1915.
