This would have to be one of the happiest and saddest days for our tupuna. Must of been alot of tears shed, and a lot of babies been born 9 months laterrrr..

To all our Maori Battalion a big 'Kia Ora' for going to war so that we (your mokoz) can have a better life. God bless all our tupuna who went to war for us (your mokoz) ....Amene

@neoterictube What a shame that some can't see the tree for the forest. I would rather see her doing what she chose to do than not have this awesome blessing of knowing what she looked like, BEAUTIFUL. Someone once said,"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"
