520 _a"28 Māori Battalion was a front line infantry unit that was part of 2nd New Zealand Division that fought in the Second World War. It was completely voluntary and at any one time 700-750 men were in the Battalion, organised across four rifle companies, A, B, C and D, and a Headquarters company. The four rifle companies were organised along tribal lines and this book looks at the war from the perspective of B company, which drew its members mainly from the Te Arawa and Mataatua confederations of tribes, but from Tauranga Moana, Coromandel, Waikato and King Country. As well as telling the stories of the significant campaigns that 28 (Māori) Battalion were involved with, in Greece and Crete, North Africa and Italy"--Just jacket.
