520 |a This is the story of Alfred (Bunty) Preece of the Chatham Islands, soldier, farmer, local body politician, kaumatua and tireless advocate for his people. His recollections of the Italian Campaign of World War Two and the effect of those two and a half years were but the beginning of a lifetime of dedication to the welfare of others. It is written in the sincere hope that it will one day form part of the full history of D Company 28 (Maori) Battalion. This book is moving and inspirational. It is not a story about the glories of war - that is a romantic illusion of those who have never been to war, never been fired on or had to fire on others in the front lines. It is a story of personal sacrifice and bravery almost beyond description. It is also a story of the Maori people trying to achieve. This title has a full nominal roll of members of D Company, and has been translated into Maori.
