'The first part of the book draws heavily on the work done by the late Bruce Collier who was responsible for the centenary publication, "Fideliter" (Calder Print, Whangarei, 1981). Bruce poured heart and soul into writing that history and I am grateful for the permission granted by Mrs Sydney Collier to freely use his material as the basis for this book. I apologise if, in adapting his work, I have made any errors.
