  • Dear family of Lance Corporal Rameka Taupaki. Almost 100 years after Rameka died is he not forgotten.
    Every year is the 4 days march (32 km a day) in rememberance for the soldiers who died for our freedom.
    This year I walked for the 18th time the 4 days organized by the Belgium army. I visit every time I go to Ypres (18km of my hometown) his grave. Greetings from Belgium.
