Maoris In The Great War :a History Of The New Zealand Nativecontingent & Pioneer Battalion Gallipoli 1915 France And Fl
Paperback Edition: 1
A fascinating history of New Zealands Maoris in the great war, which, befitting their reputation as warriors, stretched from their baptism of fire at Gallipolis Anzac Cove to the western front. The Maori baptism into modern warfare was the landing at Anzac Cove and the battle on Sari Bair. Following the evacuation, the survivors were sent to the Western Front where they took part in most of the major pushes through to the end of the war. James Cowan had an affinity for the Maori and wrote warmly of their achievements as warriors.
