My dad's next of kin is his wife my mother Te Tiriti O Waitangi Patara I am so lucky to have both my Parent's with me. I have many Photo's DVD's and storie's which I myself have made or received regarding my dad and the 28th Maori Battalion. I restore old photo's as a hobby etc and I am very proud of my Parent's. LOVE YOU'S Hinemihi Patara
