Like most others, our father Hori Matehe TUAU, aka Hori Te Awarau Karaka TUAU enlisted under an assumed name due to his age at the time. Him and his mate Sonny Maaka Papuni (seated), enlisted together. My father was wounded in Tripoli and chose to name his first son, my brother, Tripoli Daniel TUAU. Dad wrote on the photo "Cairo 1942" and on the back of the photo was Sonny's name and a note that Sonny died in Cairo. Dads Regiment No. was 65329 and Sonny's was 65330
