"he hasn't been able to rest properly because he's never had the recognition that he deserves"
Bullshit. He served his country and he expected nothing.
"15 to 20 New Zealand Victoria Cross winners that were down graded".
Crock of shit. The VC is the rarest of awards, in 150 years of the British Imperial system less than 1400 VCs have been handed out and NZ got 25 of them, Australia got 96 and there is only enough metal left to make around 90 more VC medals.
king george 6th said no more victoria crosses to be awarded before haane manahi was appointed for bravery...all Maori's in NZ know that manahi got the victoria cross in true spirit...so what's the problem???
Ah Had the military papers of James O'Dwyer. 28th Batt. mistakinly sent too me but I lost it. They said he spent one year in military hospital after being blown up and all his flesh takin off his body. He twas Half Samoan/Irish. Do any one have his war sheet o' Papers? Thanks.
Without a doubt, New Zealand's bravest soldier ever. Manahi is to New Zealand like Audie Murphy is to the United States. This man doesn't merely deserve the VC. He is the true spirit and soul of the VC.
My father was a Borneo (SAS), Malaysian and Vietnam veteran, my mum was a regular soldier and my younger brother deployed to the Sollys and Timor Leste and his next deployment will be to A/stan. I grew up as a Army brat (dragged around Papakura, Linton, Waiouru, Burnham, Singas). I am not a Royalist they are Greeks and hated Germans. My Wigger side is Welsh/Celtic. Celts are tribal like Maori. I am university educated and gave up the glue bag as third former - motherfucker!!
Audie Murphy got two Purple Hearts for getting shot in the arse! Sgt Manahi took Takrouna what the whole fucking 8th Army including White NZ couldn't do! 5 Brit Generals (including Tiny) automatically awarded the VC! Overturned by the British Clown. Claimed Maori bayoneted wounded soldiers? Historian Chris Pugsley claimed that in letters home Italian soldiers also bayoneted " the black bastards and through them over the cliff."
The decision lay with the (Mooks) to award the VC.
sammi. Thanks. I think that Audie Murphy also got the MOH for holding off a German batallion single handed. Let us not compare. These two guys both deserve our praise - no question. To me, Manihi should have been given the VC - no question. The fact that wounded soldiers were bayoneted is irrelevant. Obviously wounded men can still kill you! It is clear that the British Crown was using this as a lame excuse. War is a nasty business and I'm sure that both Maori and the Italians had great men.
Fuck the VC & Fuck the British Royal Family - who are Germans (German Lizzie Von Battenburg) and Greeks (Phil Popodopolous) white bludging Motherfuckers saved their wigger asses! Big ups Ope Taua Rua Te Kau ma Waru!
How has your life been since you posted this dude? Bet you have had some shadows cast over your path a? Because you have just trampled over the graves of those such as Ngarimu with your ignorance... Keep your ignorance in check BOY
@sammi19611 let me guess u welfare uneducated waste of time,im a maori that is in the nz army canterbury,and i will fight 4 all nzers because thats what we are ,maori or pakiha,
and i repected the war dead because they to thought 4 all nzers,,go educate yourself mateand learn to repect yourself,,,maybe look 4 a job,,put your glue bag down and wake up
Come on nigger! I am university educated and gave the glue bag away as third former. Too many of my whanau have fought and died fighting for this country. Our land in Taranaki was confiscated because we simply refused to sell! On another note my whanau have been strong supporters of the Clown. My gt/gt/grandfather a Whanganui Kupapa fought alongside of Lt-Gen Sir Duncan Cameron and Maj-Gen Chute in two Taranaki campaigns against my grandmothers Ngati Ruanui.
to whoever said that maori will be breeded out know that scientists have predicted maori will take up most of the population in new zealand by the year 2050
we will never get breeded out nor be defeated. chigudo fag u know who tougher boy dont act hard on the comp why you think the treaty was made, they made it beacause they could not beat us i am proud to be MAORI with or without gangs, to have tipuna like haane manahi make me walk tall with with pride while your people walk in fear of being takin over by a brown or black race
The award of the Victoria Cross during both WW1 and WW2 were often never awarded to soldiers who so richly deserved it. Haane Manahi deserved the recognition and sadly never got this for whatever reason.
All that fighting and killing and sadly it was in a car crash that he died. R.I.P
your just a hater...str8 up...admit it, your racist.Bet you'll keep your mouth shut if we were face to face...and you cant breed us out if you sit in front of the comp with your hand in your pants...hahahahahaha...pooftah...
from posting here i got the youtube admins to track his connection it appers he comes from nz chigudo you are a hatefull person i hope the xmas sprit will open your eyes to the fact that you are a complete faggot
Did you know that the VC that was recommended for this hero is the same as the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR, the top award of the United States, famously awarded to General of the Army MacArthur himself! Also, Rommel did say the Maori Battaillon was the top fighting force.
In my eyes - I'm not Englander - I'm from Slovenia, every brave man deserves a medal - and his, even a royal, it's not ment just to him - but to all - especialy those never rememberd ones
Maori Battalion= Greatest fighting force of all time.
Rommel said two statements.
"He had never seen a greater fighting force as the maori battalion"
"If i had 3 maori battalions i will rule the world"
aswell as other statements by otehr ally and enemy generals and soldiers
"Maori battalion are the bravest soldiers of all"- African/Egyptian Corps
"No other infantry saw more fighting nor suffered more casualties or been in more battles and came out winning as the Maori Battalion"--English/Us Gnrl
In my eyes, he can lay in peace with or without this 'royal recognition'. By all means he deserves it, but this credential doesn't determine his brave actions - his actions do, and they speak for themselves.
to the clowns who dis the pakeha kiwi they died for us to . to the haters we all got pakeha in us .from nga puhi . shit just get over it and look after our land
Ae, bro, but do we need a Pakeha medal to know that Manahi had the nuts and more to do his duty? We honour his memory by getting a good education and kick-ass job, Prime Minister would be good. Honour the man by being brave like him, but in the sense of success in this Ao hurihuri. Set your sights, reach the heights and dominate your circumstance. Kia Kaha e hoa ma, karawhiua te hoariri whai rawa, karawhiua kia eke panuku kia eke Tangaroa.
Oh stop whining. Was Ngarimu a pakeha? Willy Apiata? Hundreds of VCs have gone to "non-white" troops. And more than 20 pakeha in WW2 had their VC recommendations downgraded.
Did you know that during the Maori Wars New Zealand had their own cross. The New Zealand Cross, equal in honor as the Victoria Cross. 25-26 New Zealanders were awarded. A few receiving the Queen Victoria Sword of honor.
my grand dads fought WWII, they came back as heroes. their the shelfords. when we first went into action in greece, about 5 guys died and the battalion was called the greatest fighing force in the world. the same thing about maori warriors was said 200 years ago.
my dad served in casino italy,e te hokowhitu a tu! private Johnny Snooks R.I.P! yep it would be awesome to see a movie of the maori battalion,maybe starting it off with an in depth look of the maori warrior psychi and the haka and they're natural affiliation with trench-warfare,even at vietnam the legendary nz S.A.S "the originals" had a big maori influence

He defeated a whole Enemy camp alone with a Machine gun and a Grenade.
After that, he didnt get his VC he deserved. He got another medal but he said shove it to the generals and prime minister.
After that, he stole a jeep, disappeared for awhile, came back with 2 jeeps with a load of enemy supplies.
