Contributor's note: "My mothers brother Owen Sutton was killed in a traffic accident in Christchurch during World War II. He was just about to be sent for training in Canada, as Air Crew. He had been married about a year, and this photo shows his widow, Zelda, sitting on his grave at Bromley cemetery, not long afterwards, probably when the headstone was put in place."
