Description: Contains a chapter from `A difficult trip but with a happy ending', an autobiography being written by Mr Hansen. In this chapter he details his views as an opponent of the war effort during World War Two and his visit to the detainee camp to see his brothers who were detained for being conscientious objectors. Also correspondence between Harold Hansen, who was detained in various detention camps as a conscientious objector from 1942, and his family at Beeville, Orini and later correspondence between his brother Owen, who was imprisoned at Rangipo Detention Camp between December 1944 and April 1946, and his family.
