“Corporal Hughes was a talented sportsman and a committed soldier and we feel his loss,” says Mr McIver.
“Our deepest sympathies are with all those who loved and cared for Corporal Hughes – his family, friends and comrades”, he said.
“This will be an especially difficult time for his whanau and we offer them our sincere sympathy at their time of loss.”
