Hi Jamie, Im writng a book called 'Sporting Legends of the Sunset Coast' (Waiuku District) and one of my legends is Oliver A Johnson, private in NZ Cycling Corps 1916-18. A bushman and farmer of Otaua, Waiuku. He went onto be a top axeman who placed 2nd in the NZ Champs twice, fisherman and hunter. I can give you more if you are interested. Another axeman who was in the NZCC was Ned Shewry ranked as one of NZ greatest woodchoppers
