After Jim Dennistoun died as a result of wounds from crashing in flames during a World War I encounter over the German trenches, his family, including brother, George, became the keeper of his writings, papers and photographs. They constitute a record of very accomplished adventure by a young man of Canterbury amongst the high places of New Zealand Mountains.
