Reference: OHInt-0938-19

Description: Interview with Albert Trevor Hewitt, born in Raetihi in 1926. Talks about contracting polio when he was 10 which left him with permanent paralysis in his left leg and having to wear calipers. Comments that when he could no longer play sport he took up rifle shooting in his mid teens, and this led to taking charge of the cadet armoury at high school. Mentions his father, a World War One veteran, joined the National Reserve as a sniper in World War II. Describes being recruited in early 1943 to be part of a small Home Guard squad who were issued with rifles, ammunition and a uniform to guard the Ashhurst race course if Japanese planes appeared. Mentions the family followed news of war and threats overseas during the 1930s and were more concerned with events in Europe than with the Japanese invasion of China. Reflects on people's feelings about what was happening overseas as the war progressed and news of German raiders attacking cargo ships around New Zealand. Refers to the Japanese prisoner of war camp near Featherston and fears that if the prisoners got guns they could take over the country. Remembers American servicemen in Ashhurst chatting up the girls, and recalls hearing about the "Battle of Manners Street". Recalls the Polish refugee children being taken by train through Palmerston North en route to Pahiatia. Mentions he was working in Wellington in the Census and Statistics Department in 1945 when news of VE Day arrived, public servants showering paper out of windows, and his supervisor sending him home early while trams were still running. Comments that the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was greeted enthusiastically, but his family wondered whether the second atomic bomb was really necessary and it took years to realise the full impact of the bombs. Recalls how news of the Nazi extermination camps filtered through, but he feels that there little in the news media about Japanese atrocities.

Description: The third engraving illuminates how a member of Parliament is elected. First in line at the polling station is a soldier who has lost three of his limbs. A clerk tries to subdue his laughter as the veteran places his hook on the Bible. Lawyers from opposing parties flank him and argue the validity of his `handless' oath. Next an imbecile locked in his chair is taking the oath. He is being prompted by an individual standing behind him whose leg is manacled to the chair. Third in line is a dying man who is dragged up the stairs by his nurses. One is lacking his nose, a symptom of advanced veneral disease. A blind man, guided by his stick and a boy, walk up the stairs. Behind him a cripple. The two candidates appear in high chairs with a sleeping beadle between them. Other men round them share a ballad or drink merrily together. In the background `Britannia's' coach has broken down and is about to overturn. Involved in their game of cards, the coachmen ignore the dangerous situation. Dedicated to Sir Edward Walpole Source of descriptive information - Paulson, Ronald. Hogarth's graphic works.
