After an eventful wartime career as a Māori Battalion officer, George Tuoro Marsden became a well-known school teacher and Māori educationalist after the war. A member of the 7th Reinforcements, he was wounded shortly after the breakthrough at El Alamein in late 1942 and later served as the Battalion's Liaison Officer at 5th Brigade HQ.
