About Me:

Ki ora, My name is Mary-Anne Osborn nee HemaHema I am the eldest daughter of Harry Hemahema Private 39063 whom fought with the 28th Maori Battallion Company C. What I can recall of my dads memories of his time in the 28th Maori Battallion was how they all fought hard to save there positions, and saw many of his fellow soliders die in front of his eyes, and yet there were good moments where they would go out and look for food and would carry back a dead pig on a strecher pretending that it was a dead solider, and the pepole of the town would take there hats off in sign of respect not knowing what they had, and then came the war wounds that my dad received he would show us kids the wound at the back of his head where a bullet hit his helment lucky for the helment otherwise he would have not been able to tell this story, he also showed us another wound he received was in the back from a snipers banonett.and the many stories of the Battallion
