AIan Essay

This is a story about a man that went to war … a man who returned …. A man that saw friends die … a man that it did not like to talk about the war!!

During this essay I would like to tell you all about my Great Granddad (my Mum’s Granddad) Allan Archibald Parkhill, his life as a butcher, a father, an All Black and soldier…  and always a loving husband.  I will tell you about his laughter, his passions and the tears he cried for his friends and his country.

Great Granddad was born in  Palmerston, New Zealand on the 22 April 1912

And died on the 26th August 1986 when he was 74. He fought in the battle of north Africa in world war 2 he got shot through the stomach a went to the England hospital to get it checked out they sent him back to New Zealand. He had a lot of friends but his best friend was named Lyall McGregor, he fought aside him in all that they did but when Alan got shot through the stomach he was so sad so once Alan came back to a New Zealand he had a child a boy(my Granddad) and named him Alan Lyall Parkhill to remember him.

The North African campaign started when Italy went to North Africa for oil and went from June 10, 1940 to May 16, 1943.New Zealand and Australian troops were sent there to cut off the Axis supply of oil.The New Zealanders saw little action during the beginning stages of the North African campaign.Living in the desert was hard cold nights and searing daytime temperatures made life uncomfortable for soldiers in forward positions and shade was hard to find these things are and this was the longest and most important land campaign that New Zealanders fought in.

Before the war Alan went to school like an ordinary boy then he went to high school(Palmerston District High School) then he was a rugby player he played for Otago and Canterbury even the all blacks. He played No.8 he loved what he was doing but when he went to the war and got shot through the stomach he knew he couldn't play anymore so he decided to be a butcher, he weighed 90 kg (200 lb) and was 1.8M tall(5ft 11inches)

My Great Granddad is very inspirational to me and my family, he is a big part of our family's history and he loved everyone he knew.

My Bungy Jumping Experience

I walk up to the platform "Are you nervous' the man said "Yes" he said "Bungee" I screamed so loud I couldn't scream any more. I felt like a bird soring through the sky until I heard a tore, I was wondering what it was but then I knew I was in big trouble.

Why you should spend less this Christmas

These are the reasons why you should spend less on Christmas this year.

people in America alone spend over $450,000,000 a year but this money could go to people who need it the most like people who need water that's only $10,000,000 and to stop world hunger that’s $30,000,000 year so stop spending money for Christmas and start spending time with your family and give some of that money to people who need it the most. 5 tons of rubbish goes into our world over Christmas from America alone stop spending money and start spending time your time is time is more important.
