Pathway Among Men

Certainly, he is a soldier - Brigidier James Thomas Burrows, C.B.E., D.S.O. and bar, Order of Valour (Greece). It is as a soldier that he will be best remembered by the officers and men who fought with him in Greece, Crete, North Africa and Italy; by Papakura C.M.T. conscripts of the early fifties; by those regular soldiers who were under his command in the Southern Military District between 1955 and 1959; and by those who knew him as commander of New Zealand's K Force in Korea and Japan.

Others, However, may know of some facet of Jim Burrows's diverse sporting roles and achivements: as a provincial representative cricketer (a medium-pace bowler), as university boxing champion when university boxing was both popular and fiercely competitive, as a Canterbury representative rugby player, as one of the All Black forwards during the 1928 tour of South Africa, or as an All Black selector and coach.

Others will remember him, perhaps, as a young teacher. Or know him as a prominent Rotarian. Or recall his rectorship at Waitaki Boys' High School.

But until the publication of this book a rounded picture of this outstanding New Zealander's life was the preserve of comparatively few.

It is the story of a man intensely aware of the men around him, all of them, in groups or as individuals. It is their story too.
