I was lucky enough to have been selected to accompany and escort these hero's to this event. At the time I was a Sergeant serving in 1st Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. At the time these men had memories of their experiences like it happened yesterday and related some very interesting stories to us. I had some interesting talks with Sir Charles Bennett about the battle from the 28th (Maori) Battalion view, which were never recorded in the history books. I and the other young soldiers that were part of this trip will never forget our experiences with these legends. LEST WE FORGET.
I hope this documentary featured on TV, as it's very professional. Thankyou for holding the torch about NZ history, and passing it on. I'm appalled I'm the first person to comment. Sometimes good and great works take time to be appreciated. I hope you've got the time to wait. Anyway, I'm very grateful!!
