Maori Battalion members to have last get-together
Posted by karere under Maori News
Surviving members of the 28th Maori Battalion will meet in Wellington on Saturday for a last official get-together.
Only 25 veterans of the battalion who fought in World War II are still alive and it was felt now is the right time to wind-up the Maori Battalion Association.
Some 3600 men served in the battalion in campaigns across North Africa, Greece, Crete and Italy.
The battalion’s losses were the highest of any in the New Zealand Division with 649 deaths, either killed in action or from their wounds.
Veteran Aubrey Balzer said the Maori Battalion name will live on as long as there is one Maori Battalion bloke left alive.
About 11 veterans are expected to be able to attend a remembrance service at the National War Memorial.

Someone should do a film about the Battalion soldiers who when the returned for War come home to find their land had been given to Pakeha returning soldiers as reward for their services. This is one of those untold and hidden atrocities the pakeha want the keep the public from knowing about. Always remember Maori, the Pakeha will never treat you as his/her equal before GOD and will always seek to subjugate, denigrate and lord it over you and you generations. Their GOD is Satan who as is well known was a liar and the murderer from the beginning and as we can see with the constant put down and near total denigration of the Maori People in this day and age where one is lucky to make it 60 let alone 65 to receive a pension little as changed since the Treaty and in fact the lifespan of Maori is far shorter.Let it never be forgotten our troops were also sent into suicide type engagements during the war and it is a sheer miracle of GOD that any came home. Let us then never ever lift a hand against any foriegn power in behalf of the Pakeha ever again. We now know he has no honour or respect towards our peoples and never ever will. Had they been able to achieve their orchestrated goal as order out of London late 18th century of complete and utter genocides as planned we would not be here today. These are the facts going forwards. Thus always be diligent and untrustful of our pakeha neighbours knowing that such patterns of behaviour and thought run deep within their psyche.
