Gallipoli, they danced their Haka just before August 9.. that well-re-membered day when our forces stormed the hills of Gallipoli. They had advanced, and some of them had died, with the words of the Haka on their lips, and when the time came they would fight again and, if need be, die, in the same way. Sincere Thanks. In thanking Captain D. Royal, who acted as compere, and the performers, for their wonderful entertainment, His Worship the Mayor extended a very hearty welcome to them, and said he hoped that many friendships Would be made between the people of Aklershot and the Maoris, who had come so many thousands of miles to fight for the Empire. He would not for one moment make light of the horrors of war, but it had taken a war for them to have an entertainment such as they had just seen, given by the Maoris in that particular spot. Having seen an exhibition of their war dances lie knew that if he was the enemy he could hope to be able to run faster than they. (Laughter) . Thanking the Mayor for the welcome to himself and his "boys" Captain Royal said that if the audience had enjoyed the performance (and they most obviously had) they could rest assured that the performers had enjoyed it just as much., It had made some of them rather homesick, but it had been a great pleasure to come along and entertain them. A collection was taken at the conclusion of the performance for the Aklershot Spitfire Fund, by Mr? Lee, at whose invitation the entertainment was arranged, and her helpers.
