Navy lieutenant Megan Mashali​ thought she was the first of her family to have a military career. But after helping clean the grave of three young men with the New Zealand Remembrance Army (NZRA), Mashali learnt that there was a family link. RYAN ANDERSON/Stuff Mashali’s grandfather made the connection after seeing photos of the Reid brothers’ grave on Facebook. While pleased to have discovered her connection with the Reid brothers, Mashali felt mixed emotions. A singer for the Royal New Zealand Navy Band, Nelson said she was inspired by how well the graves of New Zealand war personnel are maintained in Gallipoli, where she has performed three times.
