Discrepancies (Require checks, clarity or further research) :
Probably NZ Soldier 4/1634 Neil Knud ROSTGUARD. He is listed on the NZ WW1 masonic roll, but this actual name is not recorded in the registers. There is an Olaf Neil Rostgard who was initiated in 1904, but as this is not an exact name match it is not him, although may be a relation.
