A-Z of Aotearoa: M for Māori Battalion

From Afternoons, 2:10 pm today

It's time to jump back into the A-Z of Aotearoa. 

We're making our way through the alphabet diving deep into all things Kiwiana - the iconic people, places and moments that make up New Zealand. 

We've arrived at the letter 'M' today, and we're opening up the history books to look at the Māori Battalion.

Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro will present the new King's and regimental colours to the 2nd/1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.
