The Maoris in the great war; a history of the New Zealand native contingent and Pioneer battalion. Gallipoli, 1915; France and Flanders, 1916-1918
"Māori form a significant proportion of the modern New Zealand Army, and Maori officers have achieved the very highest commands, Their unique culture is deeply embedded in its tradition and daily routines; celebrated by Māori (indigenous) and pakeha (non-indigenous) soldiers alike. The exploits of the 28th (Māori) Battalion in WWll - peerless in attack - are well-remembered. Not so well known is the major Māori contribution to the Allied cause in the Great War. Māori were quick to respond in 1914. Over five times as many as the specified contingent of 500 men volunteered, and that number of places was allocated on a tribal basis. As the centennial of the start of WWl approaches, it is timely to revise and republish Cowans 1926 work."--Publisher's description
