28th Māori Battalion

Published 28 July, 2011 by Editor

Created on behalf of the 28th Māori Battalion Association, this website honours the service of the Māori Battalion during World War Two. The site includes an historical overview of the Battalion at war, an interactive map, contributed stories and memories, resources for teachers and school students, and a selection of photographs, audio files (oral history, radio recordings and waiata) and videos. It also includes a nominal roll of all 3600 men who served with 28th Battalion.  One of the website’s goals is to provide opportunities for veterans and whanau to share their recollections and taonga. 

We are collecting photos of all 3600 men who served in the Māori Battalion.  Can you help?  In the above image gallery, you will see posters from our campaign 'A photo for every man'.

Visit www.28maoribattalion.org.nz or connect with us online to learn about the many ways you can contribute images and memories.
