  • Thankyou to my Grandfather Tawhiwhi Otene , for going over to serve in WW1,thankyou for fighting in the Somme in France. It must have been terrifying living in trenches and seeing all that death around you. Mum said you guys suffered from the mustard gas they used. Your sacrifice is remembered . I never got to meet you and my mother Pukewhinau always spoke about you with love.
