Tena koutou. This is my mum's dad. His full name is Waranga-nui-o-te-rangi Maangi-Matiu. He was too young to enlist at the Cape so him and a few others went to Opotiki, to join the war. Is there anymore info about him please? I would really like to know more. Thank you.

Kia ora, thanks for your comment. You should request his personnel file from the NZDF as this will have details of his war service. See this link for details - https://www.nzdf.mil.nz/nzdf/medal-and-service-records/service-records/ Also given he was in C Company, Monty Soutar’s book Nga Tama Toa might be another place you want to look for information. All the best with your search. Noho ora mai, Leanne Tamaki (Site Admin)
