Soldiers from the Pacific : the story of Pacific Island soldiers in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in World War One
"During World War One over 1,000 men from Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Samoa and Norfolk Island volunteered to join the New Zealand Military Forces. Their service included Gallipoli, France, Egypt and Palestine. Despite the fact that 107 of these men died of disease or enemy action, 73 were wounded in action and three became prisoners of war, regrettably until now their story has not been adequately told.
'Soldiers from the Pacific' describes how the Pacific Islanders, Native and Europeans, were recruited to the Imperial cause, their training and war time campaigns.
Meticulous researched, this book lists and provides a short biography from Army records of every known Pacific soldier."--Publisher's information.
