The Haka - New Zealand World War 1

My late grandfather was in the British army during WW1and once recalled this Christmas truce that happened one time only in 1914. He had a faded photograph of himself and mate joshing in Pickelhaube helmets they had "borrowed" from Germans that they captured early in 1915.

This is a well made film that pays tribute to the incredible soldiers of New Zealand, many Maoris among them. So many good soldiers from the British Empire of the time were drawn into "the war to end all wars." People would get along well enough if we put all the politicians and priests on their own little island and carried on without them..
