"David Jack was born in Oamaru in 1878. He learned to ride at a very early age and became an expert horseman before leaving for the Boer War". "Jack was also chosen, among others, to represent New Zealand at the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. He died in Auckland in 1963 aged 85. David Jack's photograph was sent to Italy where the statue was carved. Mr Jack does not really know why his grandfather was chosen for the statue, but guesses it may have been because of his height, which was six foot three inches (1.9m). (Oamaru Mail 8-2-06)
