In Nga Tama Toa p 399 he is listed as 'Cpl Parekura (Tiger) Rarora, Omori, 9th Reinforcements.' He was wounded once.

His grandson tells us that on his gravestone he is listed as a 'Sergeant'.

Kia ora, Parekura Raora is my grand father and on his kohatu his rank is listed as Sgt.

Kia ora ParekuraThanks very much for telling us about your grandfather's rank. The information we have is probably based on the rank he enlisted with rather than his last rank. I will pass this information on to the people at Cenotaph who provided us with the original information so their records can be updated. Hei konāJamie Mackay
