This is my uncle Augie as we knew him. I did not personally meet my uncle as he died long before I was born. My mother Waina Rore always spoke highly of him. I am so proud that my uncle fought in the 28th Maori Battilion. You will never ever be forgotten uncle. This is from your many neices, nephews, great, great neices and nephews. Ma te atua e manaaki e tiaki i a koe mo ake tonu atu.
