Albert Victor Sing

Albert Victor Sing (9 May 1892 – 22 August 1950) also known as Private Albert Victor (Vincent) Singe was a New Zealand World War 1 veteran of Irish and Chinese descent.

Albert Victor Sing was one of four brothers, Herbert Stanley Sing, Robert Francis Sing and Arthur Percy Sing who served New Zealand in WW1. When Albert Victor Sing and his brother enlisted they lived in Browning Street in the Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn with their mother.

Sing was sent to Egypt in 1916 to join the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. Albert and his brother Arthur left New Zealand on 29 February 1916 on the ship 'Aparima', arriving in Suez on 4 April 1916. From 1916-17 he fought in the Western Front. In later Newspaper documents unrelated to his military records, Albert's name is written as 'Singe'.

Sing appears across various New Zealand newspapers including The New Zealand Herald, in 1938 and again in 1946 reporting charges for bookmaking.

Sing had three children with wife Isobel, Donald, Mervyn and Miles.
