Typed inscription reads: "During their mid-day meal a New Zealander translates from a German magazine found in a dug-out the story of the Maori nation from cannibal practices to civilization. There is little doubt that this article was read to the German soldiers and was distorted into a statement that the Maoris were still cannibals and eat their prisoners or captives."
