Created by the 28th Maori Battalion
The Maori Battalion was composed of Maori volunteers from New Zealand. They were a unit of the New Zealand Army during World War II and fought in several campaigns in North Africa and Italy. The battalion gained a reputation for their bravery and skill in battle.
There is no battalion named Ngati Walkabout. It is possible that you may be referring to a different unit or group that is not a recognized military battalion.
The Maori word for song is 'Waiata'.
The NZ 28 (Maori) Btn was a battalion of Maori soldiers, organised into divisions as per tribal ties. It was formed on the insistence of Maori leaders to show that they are worthy of fighting any war. The 28 (Maori) Btn was first used in WWII in Nth Africa, Italy, Greece (the Mediterranian Theatre of war)... although there were a couple of individual units of Maori soldiers in WWI, but not in the form of a Btn.
