Walmsley was born in October 1907, followed by Robert in October 1911. Jack Canning, eager to serve, left Wanganui Collegiate at the earliest opportunity to join the family regiment, one of the esteemed guards regiments. To enlist, he adjusted his age, adding a year to meet the requirements, and ultimately volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps in France, where he distinguished himself and rose to the rank of Squadron Commander in the RAF. Peter Canning, known for his generosity and strong familial ties, always kept an open door for his brothers, providing a welcoming home base as they navigated their own paths. At one point, he worked in the Gisborne region, contributing to the family’s legacy in that area. Together, the Canning brothers exemplified a deep sense of duty and brotherhood, each forging their unique contributions to both family and country during a transformative time in history.Wāhi | LocationOakbourne|Hawke's BayTohu Matawhenua | Geo Coordinates^[1]
