Biography

Born in Masterton in 1906,[1] Chamberlain completed his MSc at Victoria University College with a thesis entitled An investigation of the nature of p-azophenol,[2] graduating in 1929.[3] He was awarded a DSc by the same institution in 1939.[3] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1959,[4] and the following year he was awarded the society's Hector Medal, the highest award in New Zealand science.[5]

In World War II, Chamberlain was called up for the New Zealand Artillery in September 1940,[6] and embarked as a sergeant with the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force in mid-1941.[7] He saw four years active service in the Middle East and Italy and was commissioned while overseas.[1]

Chamberlain's engagement to Geraldine Baylis was announced a few days after he was drafted,[8] and the couple were married on 12 February 1941 at King's College chapel in Ōtāhuhu.[9] Geraldine was also a collector of plant specimens.[10]

He died on 2 April 1993 and was buried at Purewa Cemetery in Meadowbank, Auckland.[11]
