1Newspaper Obituary, Wanganui Chronicle 23 Dec 1916.
Following the official notification which Mr. R. G. McNiven this week received from the Minister of Defence, to the effect that the Court of Inquiry had reported his son, Cecil, to be missing, he having been previously reported wounded, Mr McNiven yesterday received through a private channel authentic news of his son's death. This was contained in a letter addressed by Rfm. A. T. Murray to Miss G. Fargie, of Cameron St., Aramoho, which contained the following passage : " I am sending you some photographs I found in Cecil McNiven's paybook. He was killed in action on the 15th September, the day we advanced on the Somme. He is buried on the hill facing Flers, the place we captured the day we advanced. Please hand the photographs to Mr. McNiven." The citizens of Wanganui will deeply sympathise with Mr. and Mrs. McNiven and family in the sorrow which has come to them on the eve of Christmas. Cecil McNiven was a young man of promising attainments. He was educated at the District High (Avenue) School and the Wanganui Collegiate School, and, adopting law as his profession, he was' at the time of his enlistment a junior in the office of Messrs. T. M. Wilford and Levi, Wellington, at the same time carrying on his studies as a student of Victoria College. He was 22 years of age."
