This is an awesome way to mark their 50th anniversary, so many brave men committed their lives and whanau/families for their country

This is so useful for my history assignment. Thank You for putting it up. =]
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.

Sound recordist.

whakamauhara tatou kia ratou!!! what a awesome doc think ive seen this one yrs ago.

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.
Linda Bennet
