To continue a thread from 2017.......
Yesterday my grandaughters were taken on a trip to the the Karori cemetary in Wellington where they looked at some graves belonging to my son-in-laws's side of the family. I asked my daughter if they had seen Mrs Chippy and she said no. I therefore dug out some information for her.
Here are some links I have found related to Harry McNeish.I do not know if McNeish's diary contain any relevant navigational information.
McNeish's diary online

McNeish papers - not online so a visit to the archives is needed.

McNeish's funeral - online

AFAIK no one knows the specific reason why McNeish was not awarded the Polar Medal.
