Howard Kippenberger

Howard Kippenberger was an inspiration to soldier and civilian alike. A quiet country solicitor and provincial intellectual, he became a widely respected and admired leader of New Zealanders at war and rose to high command. Gravely wounded, he devoted the rest of his life to ensuring, as Editor-in Chief of the War Histories project, that the story of a small country's thorough-going engagement in a global struggle would be fully and faithfully recorded.
