Yeah man....Prominently the Maori Battalion though - I know I always rant on about the NZ Natives, but goddamn! They were fierce. They charged whole tank companys with fixed bayonets, and still came out on top.
Someone should make a movie about them - I'll be waiting for that. I've heard fascinating stories about them. Stories that would be perfect for films...
Interesting fact....Maori's pretty much invented Trench Warfare, during the Maori Wars of the nineteenth century. |
there is one-buti dont remember what its called--it ws always on "movies in time" every sunday-but they stopped that. In the end they charge an enemy position and the main character is killed-end of movie.[/quote:6643a]
Dude - First of all....That's WW1.....Second of all, while it does potray ANZAC troops, it is an Australian movie, about Australian troops....and none of the small cast of New Zealanders were Maoris....Maori people have dark skin.
