Ākonga will be able to describe the history and significance of the 28th Māori Battalion and understand the unit’s contribution to shaping the military identity of Aotearoa.
Ake Ake Kia Kaha E! Forever Brave! is our permanent exhibit dedicated to the men of the 28th Māori Battalion commemorating their great courage and sacrifice. Te Rau Aroha stands proud and provides a tangible link for all their mokopuna.
For the Secondary School teachers and educators, we have a collection of Primary Source excerpts collected from our Kippenberger Military Archive from WWII NZ soldiers’ diaries. We recommend you start with A Brief History of the Māori Battalion before moving on to more specific topics.
