Weekly Review No. 232 - Māori Battalion Returns

I'm tearing up right now because Bill Seymour is my great grandfather.

I always love watching this. Unfortunately this is not the full and original version. I would dearly love for the original film clip to be shown. A lot has been left out of this. Perhaps someone can oblige please?

wow, this was an awesome short film....the footage was so clear..I'll enjoy sharing this with my class.

...thoroughly enjoyed the doco Maori Battalion Returns,quite sad to see the number of young men,who didn't make it back,and whose gravesites are to be found in such far away places.When I was a little boy I used to holiday at my aunty's [Hazel Harai Bluett] at Te Maunga,in the early sixties.Her husband[both deceased now] was Raymond Bluett,or uncle Heeni as we knew him.I remember playing with his medals,obviously not knowing or understanding what they were about....uncle Heeni received two citations for actions in Nth Africa and Italy.WW2 has always been on my interest list,so to be able to follow the exploits of the battalion,and my uncle in particular as they climbed the boot of Italy,has been absolutely fascinating!To them,the men of the battalion,and especially to those who didn't come home,kia ora e hoa.Arohanui.....

Thank you, WE COULD BE A PART OF THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENTS, IN HISTORY

Hi there could I get any information on the Maori Battalion in the WW-2. Please
Thankz, Kyani

Is there someone who knows where I could find footage of the maori battalion in action? Preferably WW2?

Great History I enjoyed. Kia ora
