| Notes | Inkstand made by Lionel Vernon Duffy while interned as a conscientious objector during WW2. Family notes- "This item was made for Richard and May Kingston, Violet’s parents. ‘RM’ is inlaid. There is a hand written message to ‘Mr and Mrs Kingston’ beneath the inkpot (a ‘secret’ cavity). There is also a very small drawer in the side of the stand – this always held newspaper family notices of deaths-births." This inkstand was made by Lionel Duffy as a gift for his future in-laws, Richard and May Kingston, and he has included their initials R and M in the stand. The original message written by Lionel is kept in the box- "My dear Mr and Mrs Kingston Just a little token folks, in appreciation and gratitude of your much valued helpmand hospitality in times past, in my early Christian experience, Y’r bro’ in Christ, Lionel" Lionel Duffy was a conscientious objector on religious grounds. He belonged to a religious group, the friends, known during WW2 by the name the Christian Assemblies. Lionel had joined this group in the late 1930s-early 1940s. H was sentenced to detention in May 1942 and spent time at Hautu and possibly other camps in the central North Island. His brother Colin received a similar sentence later that year. While in camp Lionel worked bush-clearing. In his leisure time he used pieces of wood found in the bush to create small domestic items, many featuring wood inlay. Some he used in camp, and other pieces were made as gifts. While in camp Lionel received visits from Violet Kingston who, with her parents Richard and May Kingston, would travel down by train. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
