Subject: RE: BS: No Haka at Gallipoli?
There were Maori soldiers at Gallipoli. I visited a musuem in Rotorua where there was a list of those who took part and more sadly those who never came back.

As for memorial services it is not just for those that took part but also for those who have lost anyone in any conflict.

Last year I was in Wellington for the ANZAC day service. I attended even though I have no personal loss amongst the ANZAC's but I did recall three friends lost in the Falklands and the waste of young men's lives.
