Harry Manship Crescent in Halswell and nothing on the library website. The council not only had the name for the street but some extra information. The Board decided to request that staff investigate options for inclusion of Anzac insignia on the street signs for Harry Manship Crescent and Percy Fever Street.
Edited to say that the streets in the subdivision at 340 Halswell Junction Road have been named after young men who are on the Halswell War Memorial. They all died in World War One.
I searched Papers Past, Ancestry website, Findagrave and online Cenotaph NZ.
His death notice said that he died 19th December 1918 of pneumonia. He is buried at Chanack Consular Cemetery in Turkey and the online Cenotaph NZ says that he died of influenza. He was born 11th November 1889 and he was a farm labourer in Halswell when he was recruited.
There are 15 properties here and many are still empty sections. I was about to walk the full crescent but google maps only show half of the crescent and there isn’t any street view. The date of street view for the area is 2021. There isn’t an ANZAC insignia on the street sign.
