About Me
My grandfather Hone Hapa Harawene was a 28th Maori Battalion soldier and died in Tunisia in 1943 in the battle of Takrouna.
His wife was Bertha Shedlock and they had one daughter Judith Marion Harawene, my 2 sisters and I are his only mokopuna and he has 6 great grand children and 1 great great grandchild.
I have visited his grave in Enfidaville 3 times, the last time I took my mum. We have grown up with the korero about him lying in Tunisia and my eldest sister and one of my niece's both have Tunisia as their middle name.
