Rau Manahi and Arthur Midwood admire the Sword 2007
28th Maori Battalion B Company veteran Arthur Midwood expresses delight as he holds the 'Te Arawa Sword of Gallantry for Haane Manahi' that has just been received from HRH Prince Andrew during the ceremony in honour of the actions of L/Sgt Haane Manahi during the battle of Takrouna, Tunisia. Anaru Rangiheuea (left) and Rau Manahi (Haane's oldest son - 3rd from left) also admire the sword. Image captured 11.58am, 17 March 2007 at Te Papaiouru Marae, Ohinemutu, Rotorua.
