| Notes | Souvenir card - Flag Presentation to Parents of Servicemen, Ashburton, New Zealand, 1915 (x2) In May 1915 at the Ashburton Queen Carnival Fete in support of the Belgian Relief Fund, approximately one hundred flags were presented by the Minister of Defence, Sir James Allen to the parents of' 'Ashburton County Contingenters' in a ceremony described as 'unique' with no precedent in New Zealand. The parents, or other next-of-kin, received a New Zealand Blue Ensign together with a flagpole and a printed souvenir card. The flags were provided by Mr FZD Ferriman, who had come up with the original idea. It was believed that making the event a public ceremony would be a stimulus for recruiting. The paper published a list of those who received flags together with the number of sons who were serving. An advertisement a week later advised that members of the Citizen's Defence Corps would help erect presentation flagpoles. Ashburton Guardian, 14 May, 1915, page 2. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
