The Country 22/05/24: Christopher Luxon talks to Jamie Mackay

The organiser of the Flock House project says it has two distinct themes: One, to celebrate the 100th Commemoration of Flock House opening on July 19, 1924, and the other, to continue finding and making contact with the descendants of the 759 original war orphans sent to NZ after WW1.Flock House was originally set up at the largesse of the New Zealand sheep owners.  This was in a debt of gratitude to the men of the Royal Navy, Mercantile Navy and the British Fishing Fleet who were incapacitated, or killed, keeping the shipping lanes open in WW1, enabling the NZ sheep owners to sell their wool.  The 100th Commemoration is for both the descendants of the original orphans, and also the approximately 2,400 farm cadets that went to Flock House  from the late 1930s though to 1988 when it closed.
