"The death has occurred of Captain Harold L. de F. Garland, who was railway transport officer at Auckland. Born 57 years ago, Captain Garland was on the permanent staff the New Zealand Army before the outbreak of the last war. He served overseas, but severed his connection with the army when he returned. Entering civil life, he became manager of the  Passenger Transport Company at Papatoetoe. Captain Garland re-entered the army again when the present war broke out with his old rank. He is survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters. One son is a prisoner of war, while the other is an instructor at a tank school. One daughter, Meg Garland is a member of the W.A.A.C."
