Thomas Reuben Harding
22982
World War I, 1914-1918
Born in Masterton, Mr Harding came to Matamata in 1906 not long after the ballot. He became a ploughman on the Firth Estate.
He sailed with the fourth reinforcements to World War I, in the 2nd battalion (4th company) Otago Regiment. He saw long service in France with the Rifle Brigade.
On his return he received a soldier's section of 100 acres. In 1923 Mr Harding took over land in the Turanga-o-moana which he farmed until 1938 when he came to live in Matamata.
After Leo Garland died he married Alice who he had known for many years as the families socialised together. In later life he sold the farm and moved into town where he drove a truck for Henderson's mill in a semi retired capacity.
A keen sportsman with rod and gun,he was regarded by his friends as an expert bushman. Pig hunting, deer stalking, trout fishing and duck shooting were his life long pastimes. In his younger days he was an excellent athlete.
Four years before his death Mr Harding injured a hip on a pig hunting trip and it left him with a permanent injury.
His war diary and paybook are in the Auckland Museum Library: MS 99/53. This collection also includes copies of the diary and paybook taken from a dead Prussian soldier in the Battle of the Somme. The soldier's name was Karl Friederch Wilhelm Rex (known as Wilhelm) and a translation of the official information on the front pages of his paybook reads as follows:-
