Captain Wikiriwhi speaking, followed by two songs

Captain Matarēhua (Monty) Wikiriwhi (Te Arawa) of 'B' Company speaks on behalf of his men. Two songs follow: Te Arawa, about the arrival of the tribal waka at Maketu (based on the Ngāti Porou song Paikea), and Haere ra ngā hoia e (Farewell you soldiers).
