FindaGrave He was a son of Rev Peter Milne (b. 1834 Scotland, d. 1924 New Hebrides) and spent his early years on Nguna in the New Hebrides. He felt the call to serve the Church in Foreign Mission service. Theological Hall Dunedin 1909-11. Ordained in Knox Church Dunedin by the Rt Rev G. Lindsay for Mission service in South China 12.11.1911. During his service in South China, wife Hazel used her talents as a teacher in the educational program established there. In September 1915 Peter was compelled to go on furlough on account of his health, and he resigned from 31.12.1915. Feeling that a Medical qualification would be of more benefit, he studied medicine at Otago University with Hazel working as a Teacher to support them both. After qualifying, he joined the British Medical Administration in Kenya, living there with Hazel until about 6 years before his retirement. Upon their return to New Zealand, Peter was appointed the Medical Superintendent at the Seacliff Psychiatric Hospital near Dunedin. Three years later he moved to the Waitati Hospital between Seacliff and Dunedin. After retirement, Peter and Hazel moved to Roslyn in Dunedin, Hazel continuing her interest in adult literacy. A significant bequest was given to the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) after Peter's death to be used for educational purposes in memory of the Mission work carried out there by his father and mother. With Hazel's blessing this money was used to build a Girls’ Hostel at Onesua High School and named the Milne Memorial Hostel.
