This is my Grandfather.I have seen in a book `New Zealand at War`there is a picture of my grand-dad jumping in the air while performing the haka. Has anyone a copy of this photo?
It makes me cry to see the old photos and to think what they went thru, being so far away from home. My Grandfather never talked about the war when he returned.
This is also my grandfather, I had hoped to find more information about his journey whilst in the war. I have heard some of his stories but yes it's true he never spoke openly about his experiences which is understandable to say the least. Jaz I do have that book that you've mentioned and as soon as I get a chance I will upload the photo.
Kia ora Jasmine and Mary
We have just added two images of hakas to the site - are either of these the one you mean?:
