24813 World War II, 1939-1945 Husband of Esme Murphy W.E: Second New Zealand Divisional Artillery, Page 47 - 48 Gunner T. W. J. Tombleson, MM; Matawai, Gisborne; born Gisborne, 21 May 1917; sheep farmer. (Source: McClymont, W.G. To Greece. p.282.) 'The guns of 7 Medium Regiment were out by 5 p.m. E Troop 6 Field Regiment had also reached the highway, but it had taken three tractors and a team of men to move each gun across the rain-soaked slopes. The others were being brought out with less difficulty when the mist lifted and left the two guns of A Troop out of the pits and in full view of the enemy. The shellfire which soon came over was heavy but two drivers, Gunners Bunton and Tombleson, resolutely went in with their quads and retrieved them. That done, all guns, including those of 31 Battery 7 Anti- Tank Regiment, were on the main highway and soon rattling south towards Larisa and Thermopylae. Gunner T. W. J. Tombleson, MM; Rakauroa, Gisborne; born Gisborne, 21 May 1917; sheep-farmer.; 2nd Divisional Artillery - Then the sky cleared with dramatic suddenness, fully exposing the two guns to the enemy observers. Gun fire was concentrated on them and they were in imminent danger of destruction. Two drivers, Gunners Tombleson and Bunton, took their quads over the ridge, with shells splashing around them, and ‘with great skill and coolness manoeuvred their tractors under heavy fire … and succeeded in bringing both guns and detachments out safely’. Gunner R. W. Bunton, MM; Ashburton; born Tasmania, 9 Aug 1916; tractor driver; wounded 23 Nov 1942. Gunner T. W. J. Tombleson, MM; Matawai, Gisborne; born Gisborne, 21 May 1917; sheep farmer.'

John Tombleson 🔍 ASHFrom 1940-45, men aged 18-46 were selected by ballot for potential service with the Armed Forces under New Zealand's wartime conscription. Twenty-four ballot lists were published in the NZ Gazette.
NOTE: Being listed in a ballot did not necessarily mean the person served in the military. Some had already volunteered, others were found medically unfit, granted deferment or exemption on appeal, or were never called up for active service. These records document those selected for possible service, not confirmed service personnel.
