----------------------------------------
It is sad to note that you have no history for Mita Hohua on your website. He comes from a fearless warring family. He went to the First World War. Amazingly, he went again with the 28 to the Second World War with his younger brothers Hori, Wenerei, Rameka, and Tai. He married Turaki TeMaitaranui.
