Maori Costumes For Overseas
The Maori Battalion hopes to take with it overseas sufficient mats, meres, spears, and native costume extras to be able to stage hakas in complete Maori dress. Between twenty and thirty men of the battalion are experts at performing the haka and they have put in a good deal of practice at Palmerston North. Requests have come from neighbouring towns for parties to assist at concerts. It is almost certain that a Divisional Concert Party will be organised overseas and the Maoris, with their hakas, will be able to contribute to the entertainment of the troops.
