The Maori baptism into modern warfare was the landing at Anzac Cove and the battle on Sari Bair. Following the evacuation, the survivors were sent to the Western Front where they took part in most of the major pushes through to the end of the war. James Cowan had an affinity for the Maori and wrote warmly of their achievements as warriors.
