Te Hokowhitu-a-Tū: The Māori Pioneer Battalion

This article is about the Māori Pioneer Battalion. It details how some Māori volunteered hoping to achieve equality, while others (Waikato) resisted conscription due to historical land losses. After fighting at Gallipoli, they served primarily as labourers on the Western Front.
