I would like to say that it is really great been able to access information about the 28th Maori Battalion via Internet I have read so much about the battalion and also learnt alot as well. I am proud to know that my dad Private HARRY HEMAhema 39063 was a part of the Battalion he was from C Company and I am yet to visit Tairawhiti Museum which I can not wait to visit I live in Australia but I am making a trip back to NZ in the New Year and the museum is on my list.
