BURDAN, David

A two part documentary.
At one period during World War II, a farm settlement in Gollans Valley in
Wellington's eastern hills near Pencarrow Lighthouse, came under regular
shellfire from a shore battery across the harbour on the Seatoun coast.
This and other stories of rural Wellington in the 1940s are recalled by
David Burdan. .
