About this image

DescriptionChristopher Pugsley.
Chris and his parents emigrated from England and lived at 12 Puketahi St Greymouth. As a young Chris he was more interested in playing war with his toy soldiers that he had bought with him from England. As an adult Chris has become a world famous War Historian which was where I took this photo on my TV as he was narrating the war on Crete.
Well done Chris another boy from The Coast

I heard Chris speak a couple of years ago in Wellington just before Covid shutdowns. Great wealth of knowledge. His latest book on World War Two and the NZ Second Division is excellent. “A Bloody Road Home”.
David Rodgers
I met Chris in the late 1980's at a major military exercise when he was still serving as lieutenant colonel. I was surprised to discover we both lived in Greymouth at the same time. Really nice guy. Terrific conversation.

Chris and myself played wars with our toy soldiers at my house - 15 Puketahi . Had a great sandpit for building war sites!
