Photo of Lieutenant Toka

A photograph of Lieutenant Toka was published in the N.Z. Listener magazine, 12 June 1942 (pg 6) He is speaking into a microphone, so it was probably taken when he was being recorded by the Broadcasting Service Mobile Unit in September 1941 https://28maoribattalion.org.nz/audio/henare-toka-speaks-north-africa
