This looks like a movie to watch out for! '25 April' is an innovative feature documentary created to bring the story of the New Zealand experience at Gallipoli (Turkey) to life for a modern audience through a re-imagined world. Using graphic novel-like animation, '25 April' brings First World War experiences out of the usual black-and-white archive pictures and into vibrant, dynamic color. More info and two-minute trailer here: link |

I understood that the Maoris were organised into battalions separate to the European New Zealanders. |

Hi first brigade you are correct. Maori battalions were separated from their pakeha countrymen and this also happened in ww2. It wasnt until korea, maylasia and vietnam that the nz army intergrated battalions |

Many Māori soldiers had been at Gallipoli from the outset, having volunteered for the provincial infantry battalions. One was Wātene Moeke (who served with the Auckland Regiment as William Moeki), the first Māori casualty of the war, who was killed during the 25 April landings. Some Māori also served in the Australian Imperial Force, while a few enlisted with the British Army. |
