Members of the 28th Māori Battalion crowd the deck of the troop ship Dominion Monarch as it arrives in Wellington on 23 January 1946. The Dominion Monarch was a luxurious 27,155-ton Shaw, Savill & Albion liner that had been launched in 1938 and was converted into a troop ship in 1940. After the war the ship was a familiar sight on the UK-Australasia routes until 1962.
