About Me
I am a teacher at a Primary School and have been tracing my whakapapa for a number of years. I have a qualification in Archives Management and have always been interested in New Zealand History. My Grandfather was in the Expeditionery forces in WW1 and his younger brothers and eldest son were 28th Maori Battalion. I have a few photos of him and his brothers before they left for overseas and also some taken overseas that came home with them. I have obtained some military records from the Min of Defence and most of the REWI whanau are on your Battalion Roll. His eldest son Charles Hina Rewi was a casualty of war.
