The 28th Māori Battalion was part of the 2nd New Zealand Division who fought during the Second World War (1939-45). The 28th (Māori) Battalion was a specially formed battalion that was at times attached to each of the Division's three brigades.
Almost 3600 men served overseas with the Māori Battalion between 1940 and 1945. Of these, 649 were killed in action or died on active service – more than 10% of the 6068 New Zealanders who lost their lives serving with 2NZEF in the Middle East and Europe.
