Humphrey Dyer,who was an O/C of the Maori Battalion was one of my teachers at Whangarei. He wrote a book called 'Ma Te Reinga', and I wonder if anyone has a copy they could sell me. Also knew Charlie Bennet when he was Manager of UMM hostel. Both great men I was privillaged to know.

A very moving and memorable experience. It pays homage to my mother's whanau and the three brothers lost during the defense of Crete and North Africa. Such brave young men.

Thank you to all who created a priceless resource, There isn't a lot out there to draw from however much is embraced in this film. We will treasure it. Having my dad ( a 28 MB soldier) die when I was little meant I didn't have a lot of memories and experiences related to his war years to hold close. Having viewed this has filled a huge gap. As a teacher I have a responsibility to share their story with 'a tatou mokopuna'. This film captures all that it hoped to and will help us to 'REMEMBER THEM'.

E mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Kia mahara tatou nga tamatoa o Te Ope Maori, rua tekau ma waru, i hingahinga ratou mo o tatou tikanga herekore.
It was a real privilege and honour to have been part of the film crew for this important documentary. Such a rich part of our history and a truly amazing story of heroism, told to us first hand by these five veterans of the Battalion. It was a pleasure to have met them.
No reira, haere e Kaitoa ma. Haere ra koutou kua wheturangitia ki te korowai o Ranginui. Moe mai, moe mai, moe mai i roto i nga ringaringa o Ihu Karaiti, hoki to tatou Kaiwhakaora. Haere, haere haere. Ratou ki a ratou; tatou ki a tatou. No reira, tena koutou katoa.

Thank you for posting this wonderful documentary - a story that must never be forgotten. I even forgive the mispelling of my uncle's name - it's Charlie 'YM' Bennet (not Bennett) - a common mistake though he might be confused with the Commander, Charles Bennett. My uncle was the bloke who drove the canteen truck, Te Rau Aroha, & played just a small role in an amazing story. I remember my Dad telling me that his brother was in awe of the way the men fought & stuck together - that image has always been with me.
Thanks again.
