F ive Maori recruits from the East Coast area have been selected to go into camp next week to take part in the preliminary course for those who may be selected for non-commissioned rank in the special Maori Battalion. They will leave for Trentham on Wednesday, November 29, and there will join the group of Gisborne men who are to leave for the camp tomorrow" afternoon. The East Coast men selected for this course are:Kaa, Kawa. married, 28 years. Rangitukia, wool classer. Wanoa. Albert Haenga, 31 years, Tolaga 'Bay, labourer. Te Kawa, Noble, married, 31 years, Ruatoria, dairy-farmer. Kohere. Paratene, single, 29 years, East Cape, labourer. Tuhiwai, James, single, 29 years, Tolaga Bay, shopman. The above men have been passed by medical boards as physically fit, and there is, therefore, little likelihood that replacements will be called for. A second group from Gisborne and the East Coast will be taken into camp shortly, and probably there will be a call for the main body of the Maori Battalion at an early date.
