actually, the italians welcomed the maori battalion. the maori learnt the language(which thanks to our own) has similar vowels, sang the songs & played intsruments to entertain. i heard of an instance where the maori based in italy(dont know which part) cooked up a haangi then invited & fed the local towns people. they loved them thereafter. & today, the maori buried in italy, are well looked after as honorary sons of italy & its peoples. chur.

The Maori Battalion were widely regarded by both Axis and Allied powers as some of the finest shock troops in the world being superb close quarters combatants. The Allies used the Maori Battalion to crack some of the toughest and nastiest positions they faced in Europe and North Africa - especially Monte Cassino. Unfortunately, this also meant that at one point the official battalion history records they had lost nearly 90% of their original members. Awesome morale, courage and combat skills.

Has anyone got the trumpet sheet music for this particular version? please.

The BN were truly fearsome. Love the story how the Germans came across some supplies meant for the 28th. The Germans were all excited. They thought the Kiwis were so desperate for food they had resorted to seagulls. Sadly for them, they had come across the Mutton Birds(delicacy meant for the Maor BN.) You know there were some mad as hell Maoris when they found out the huns had taken their feed. Maori BN are Awesome. Huge respect from me.

@bluebaydogg Same as me. Trying to see if my dads brother is in any of these photos. All we,ve got is a couple of fotoz. He died in Tunisia in 1943 5 years before I was born.

Im going over ther next year to see if I can bring his remains back to NZ to be reburied at home beside his beloved parents my grand parents. I think they'll like that.

 I want to make it 70 years after he died on the 13th of April 1943 he was killed in action

His name was Jack Kareko from Rawhiti, Bay of Islands
