Robert Mann (father), Marairenga, Rarotonga as per service records (possibly the adoptive father) Link to Online Service Record https://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE19482248 Additional Information Information supplied by a descendant: In contrast to details recorded in Harry Mann’s military records, he is also recognized as Manuiti William, the offspring of William Mateariki (also known as William Tararo-iti) and Moetua Tereia, from the Island of Mauke, Cook Islands. There are conjectures surrounding the alteration of Manuiti's name, including the possibility of adoption by Robert Mann or the recruitment officer anglicising his name due to language barriers. However, the absence of Robert Mann in Cook Islands directories from that era raises doubts. Moreover, if Manuiti had been adopted, his adopted name, Harry Mann, would likely be documented in the Mauke, Cook Islands land court records. Furthermore, adoption was relatively rare during that period, diminishing the likelihood of such a scenario. Official documents beyond military, marriage, and death records pertaining to Harry Mann's identity have yet to be uncovered, posing challenges in constructing a thorough genealogical profile. In addition, Manuiti also had two younger brothers, Vavia and Keu, who served in World War I; Vavia Williams/William Vavia (Service Number: 16/1203), 3rd Māori Contingent, attached to A Company Auckland, New Zealand Pioneer Battalion. He died of wounds on 1/10/1916 and is buried at Flatiron Copse Cemetery, Mametz, Somme, France, Plot I.G 48. The youngest brother, Keu William (Service Number: 60700), served in the NZ 3rd Rarotongan Company. Died: 29/11/1970, Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Buried: Nikao, Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Harry had one older brother, Tauu.

Embarked for New Zealand per SS Malta 14 December 1918 and discharged 20 March 1919. Based on available documents, our team believe the date of death on the headstone and in Howard Weddell’s book 'Soldiers from the Pacific' is 03/09/1941 to be incorrect. The death registration (MAUK19290003 25/01/1929) names the deceased as “Vaine Tutai”, his parents as Tuakanataae (father), Aketatai (mother), and the informant as his brother Aerenga. We also have a family tree listing Aerenga as Vaine Tutai’s older brother. In 1938, the Resident Commissioner sent a telegram naming three soldiers who had not yet received a government issued military headstone. Vaine Tutai was named as one of the soldiers with the date of death recorded as 25/01/1929. When the headstone was ordered, a new date of death appeared; 03/09/1941. The Mauke, Cook Islands death register shows that on 03/09/1941 a person named “Ta Aerenga” aged 35 died, however this man’s parents are not the parents of Vaine Tutai. We therefore believe that it may be a case of mistaken identity on the part of whomever ordered the military headstone and gave an incorrect date of death based on the name Ta Aerenga in the Mauke, Cook Islands death register 03/09/1941.
