I have a feeling the Marchant you might have spotted could be Eric Lauchlan Marchant, I came across references to him quite a lot during my research and he seems to have been a fairly prominent public figure and had a long life past his war service. Sounds interesting though, so would be great to hear about it if you come across any juicy details. It’s my last week in my internship at Te Papa next week, so for now email is Kiera.Gould@tepapa.govt.nz, but after the 30th Sept I would pass any information on to Kirstie Ross, Curator of History, at KirstieR@tepapa.govt.nz
Thanks!
