He pakanga petipeti ki Karipori

E toru marama ngā ope taua e ū ana ki Karipori. Ka puta te whakatau i a Piritana ki te patu i te pae o te ope o Ottoman kia riro i rātou te wikitōria. Āe rānei ka toa rātou?

I te 6 o Ākuhata ka ngana te ope Anzac me ngā Ope Haumi ki te whiwhi i ētahi wāhi matua i ngā puke o Sari Bair e tiro atu ana ki te Ākau o Anzac. I taua wā tonu, ka kōkiri a Piritana me Wīwī i ētahi atu wāhi o te kūrae.

Ahakoa ngā karawhiu a ngā Ope Haumi ka hinga rātou. Kātahi ka whakaaro te Kāwanatanga o Piritana ki te whakaputa i ā rātou hōia i te kūrae. Nō te 20 o Tīhema kua puta te katoa o ngā hōia haumi i te Ākau o Anzac me Suvla. Nō te 9 o Hānuere 1916, ka puta te ope i Cape Helles. Kua mutu te Riri ki Karipori, e waru marama te roa. Kotahi rau mā rua mano ngā hōia i hinga i ngā taha e rua.

I te kāinga, i Niu Tīreni, kua pāpōuri te nuinga i te hinganga o te New Zealand Expeditionary Force i tana pakanga tuatahi. E 2700 ngā tāngata i mate, he mano tāngata i whara, i taotū rānei. Ahakoa i mihia ngā hōia Māori me ngā hōia Pākehā e ō rātou hoa whawhai, ka puta rānei he hua?
