Biographical Notes:

"A prominent Waipukurau street has been renamed in honour three brothers who were killed in World War One.
Family members of the brothers, all Victoria alumni, were joined by the mayor and locals from the Central Hawke’s Bay farming town on Armistice Day, November 11, to mark the street’s name change from Railway Esplanade to Bogle Brothers Esplanade.
The three brothers – George (known as Stafford), Gilbert and Gordon Bogle – were killed in combat in successive autumns from 1915 to 1917. All three brothers are listed on a roll of honour in the Hunter Council Chamber at Victoria University, as well as on several memorials in Hawke’s Bay.
The fourth brother Archibald (Archie) survived the war, and is listed on another roll of honour in the Hunter Council Chamber to those who served in the war. Archie’s granddaughter Christine Bogle, who is currently studying her PhD at Victoria, attended the renaming ceremony at Waipukurau railway station."
