    About

    Alexander Ormond (DipAg 1913)

    Son of George Canning Ormond and Maraea Ormond, of Mahia, Hawke's Bay.

    Second Lieutenant Alexander Ormond, Manchester Regiment, came from New Zealand in order to obtain a commission in the British Army. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Canning Ormond, of The Mahia, Hawkes Bay, and had begun his career as a manager on the property of his grandfather, the Hon. J. D. Ormond, member of the Legislative Council. He was educated at Wanganui School, under Dr. Empson, and distinguished himself both in studies and games. He began his military training there, continuing it at Lincoln College. He joined the Inns of Court O.T.C. and obtained a commission in the Manchester Regiment. He was sent to the front last August and fell on September 30, eight days after completing his 24th year. (The Times, 23 October 1916, p. 11)
