Room 1 has been researching the 28th Māori Battalion. We have been looking at gathering information, organising, and then structuring our ideas into an informative paragraph. Here is a small snippet of our work.

The 28th Māori Battalion were a formidable team. There were roundabout 700 - 750 volunteers. They sailed to Egypt but their ship got diverted first to South Africa and then to the United kingdom. 681 soldiers left Wellington on the first of May. 3600 men served in the 28th Māori Battalion throughout WW2. The soldiers showed a lot of bravery. They are a well remembered force. We will always respect the people that saved our country.

The 28th Māori Battalion were a highly respected force who fought in World War 2. They were made up of 700-750 volunteers from all around New Zealand. The volunteers were split into 4 fighting companies, based on the men's iwi (tribe). They also also had a fifth company which was a head quarters and was made up from iwi all over Aotearoa. They sailed on the Aquitania to Egypt and the UK where they fought on the frontlines in successive battles. Although the 28th Māori Battalion only received one (posthumously awarded) Victoria Cross (the most prestigious award for war ). Overall they received the highest number of honors and awards out of all New Zealand infantry's, 99 overall! The 28th Māori Battalion was a brave formidable force and although it's been disbanded it is still remembered around the world today.
