The Tibble family are in Faenza, Italy commemorating their ancestor Te Rauwhiro Tibble, who received a Military Cross for bravery with his platoon of men from Rongowhakaata and Te Aitanga a Mahaki. He took a single shot to his body to stop a tiger tank and get his men to safety across the river. Thirteen members of his family over five generations are there for Anzac Day, including Paora Tibble, who spoke to Mihi.
