About 649 were killed in action but the unit was considered the most highly decorated of the New Zealand army.

Wow!!!

'The elite German paratroopers were terrified of the ANZACs specifically because the Maori battalion would take ears as trophies (whether the German who owned them was alive or not),' one said.

Interesting verbage in the article: “escaped an invasion”.

There are videos on youtube of New Zealand rugby teams doing the “haka” before a game.Very strange...pretty interesting.And it seems that other Pacific Island nations (IIRC,Tonga is one) have similar things.

Watch the bizarre savagery of a Maori Haka, and you can understand why civilized peoples did their best to destroy primitive populations.

... the same Maori Battalion's 'C company' at the training camp. The haka was their way of welcoming the royals in a ceremonial parade months after the soldiers had escaped an invasion in Crete. Picture credit: Department of Internal Affairs, Alexander Turnbull Library
