Notes
Murray Bobbette talks of the death of Tama Paurini.
"He was a joker from Levin, a fulla by the name of [Tama] Pourini. And a bloody stray bullet hit the wall. Well, I didn't know he was hit till I heard the drip, drip, drip. Hit in the bloody head...I put him on my back and carried him...he was had it."
