Te Kopara 24/25
[3] Te Kopara, Number 24/25, Gisborne, October/November, 1915.
‘Iti te Kopara, kai takirikiri ana i runga i te Kahikatea.’
Although the Bellbird is small, he plucks at the Kahikatea. [cf Nga Pepeha 908]
NEWS OF THE WAR
BULGARIA
The world’s eyes are now fixed on this power and on what side it will take. During the past few months it has been like a man sitting on the fence thinking about which side he will come down on. But during these days it has become increasingly obvious that it is thinking of fighting on the side of the Germans. It has not been able to decide how and with what strength Germany would come to its aid. Germany’s behaviour towards it has been like its behaviour towards Turkey which drew Turkey into this war.
The Bulgarians are divided about helping Germany; some are saying that they should not befriend Germany but should rather remain neutral, and some are saying that they should help the Allies. However their King is committed to Germany and the name given him is ‘the Blind King of Bulgaria.’ It is right that both sides, the Allies and Germany, should seek to win over Bulgaria to their side. Bulgaria is between these nations: to the north is Romania, to the north-west is Austria, Serbia is in the middle, to the south-west is the land of the Greeks, Turkey, where the allies are fighting the Turks, is to the south, and to the east is the Black Sea where there are Russian warships. We can look here at the best benefits Bulgaria will bring to the side it decides to help. If it decides to help Germany then Austria will have an ally in its fight against Serbia, and Germany will also have a way of getting to the Dardanelles, making it easy for Germany to send men to assist Turkey, and it will also set Germany free to use its forces in the west in the battle against the English and French and also against Russia in the east. If Bulgaria joins the Allied side the war in the Dardanelles will swiftly some to an end because the way will be blocked by which German aid can reach the Turks.
[4]
But today it is clear that Bulgaria is helping Germany. So far the Allies are remaining watchful. Russia has demanded that Bulgaria quickly make known its intentions, whether or not it is going to fight and with whom. Russia has given it 24 hours to make a decision about its demand. Bulgaria has not yet replied but it is preparing for war. Perhaps they are thinking that the Allies are not on the watch. At this time a large army has arrived at Salonika, a Greek town to the east of Crete. Two Bulgarian towns are being threatened by the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. The fighting is getting worse; tomorrow the whole world will be involved in the war.
THE GREEKS AND THE ROMANIANS.
We do not know as yet whether or not these two nations will decide to enter the war. However, although there has not been any statement from the Greek Government stating the situation, King Constantine want to help the Allies. And indeed the armies of the Allies have entered his territories in order to get to help Serbia which is being taken over. There has been as yet no word from the Greeks saying that the Allies should not enter their territory. The only person to condemn that action is the Prime Minister, but his objection is not that the Allied armies should stay out but rather he is expressing his desire that their Kingdom should be a holy one, and that they should not be drawn carelessly into the mess that will follow the war. As for the Romanians, Germany has said that if that nation joins the Allies it will send an army there to fight them.
THE WEST.
The French continue to drive Germany back. Indeed during the first week of this month they launched a major offensive in which they defeated the Germans and took a fort on a hill called [Tahure]. This fort is at an elevation of 300 feet. The taking of this fort was a major victory for the French because the place now becomes a ‘camp’ from which they will be able to take the fight into the whole area. The Germans in Berlin will not be pleased with the news of the bravery of the French.
[5]
GALLIPOLI.
There has been no major engagement fought this month. But at night the Allies have sent out small parties to find the enemy and unsettle them. As a result of these activities the enemy has retreated 300 yards. The line now extends for 3 miles.
RUSSIA.
The place in the east at which the fighting is most intense is a fort called Dvinsk. Russia is deploying its strength to hold this fort because if Germany takes it Russia will be in trouble. This fort has many good features which is why Germany is trying to take it. However in other places where Germany and Russia are fighting Russia is overpowering Germany.
OTHER ITEMS.
Serbia has 350,000 soldiers; Greece has 300,000; Romania has 700,000; and Bulgaria has 400,000. If Greece and Romania fight for Serbia their combined forces will number 1,350,000, that is 950,000 more soldiers that Bulgaria has. These 950,000 may well be taken over by its allies if they can achieve this.
NEWS OF THE COURAGE OF THE MAORI CONTINGENT.
This story is verified by wounded Pakeha soldiers returning to New Zealand or Australia. The main talking-point on one of the troop ships is about the courage of the Maori in their first charge. This is the main story in the mouths of all those Pakeha soldiers who saw that Maori attack. It is being told in the Pakeha hospitals by the wounded.
THE THIRD MAORI CONTINGENT.
Men are now being assembled for the third Maori Contingent. It has been agreed that one of the sons of Mr Fromm of Gisborne is to be Second Lieutenant for this Party. The mother of this young man is a half-caste from Waikato. Because he identifies strongly with his Maori side he has sought to go with one of the Maori Contingents. Now his desire is fulfilled. The name of this young man is George Fromm.
[6]
SOME OF THE OFFICERS OF THE MAORI CONTINGENT.
Some of the officers of the first Maori Contingent have returned home. The reason why they have been brought back was that they objected to the conduct of their superiors here in New Zealand. The latter wanted the Government to dismiss a man and send another to take his post, and, if not, to stop ending Maori [?hei whakahaere kino] for that man. This matter is being investigated by the Government. Those people have spoken of the courage of the Maori. This one Maori, they said, managed to spend his time in prison from the time he left here until they arrived in Malta. This fellow was a mischievous rascal, but an extraordinary character. The plan was to send him home because of the thing he did, but for some reason he was not sent back. From the time they engaged in battle the bravery of this man was obvious. He found himself confronted by two Turks. One was in front of him, the other coming from an angle, and both had their bayonets ready to thrust at him. How was he to deflect their two bayonets and how was he to kill his two enemies? When the one in front thrust at him he seized the bayonet and held on to him, then he turned to spear the one coming at an angle. It was not long before he killed that one. Then he turned to deal with the first one. But when he turned his arm had been sliced from the palm of his hand to his shoulder as he grasped and dealt with the Turk who had charged and thrust at him. It was not long before he stabbed this one. He had killed those two men.
THE GERMAN ZEPPELINS.
Some of the German Zeppelins have arrived over London recently. Several people, more than 30 perhaps, have been killed by those Zeppelins. Now cinemas have been closed at night and services of evening prayer at St Paul’s Cathedral (a large London church) are not being held. It is not permitted to burn a light at night and so only work that can be done in the dark is possible.
ENGLAND’S STRENGTH.
One of the English papers, the Daily Chronicle, says that the Register reveals that 1,900,000 men who have passed the age for military service are not engaged in occupations that benefit the war effort. The number whose bodies are fit for fighting is one and a quarter million.
[7]
SIR IAN HAMILTON.
Sir Ian Hamilton has been recalled to England and General Manaro has been appointed to take his place in the Dardanelles. The reason why Sir Ian Hamilton was recalled to England is so that he can brief the War Committee. If General Hamilton explains what is being done in the Dardanelles then perhaps the Committee will have a better idea as to how they should proceed in days to come. It is important to know what things are like with the entrance of Bulgaria into the war. Sir Charles Manaro became a soldier in in 1879. He first served during the fighting in India. He fought the Boers in 1899-1901. He has held various important posts. He is 55 years of age.
THE ENGLISH BARGES.
The English are now engaging in a new project, the building of barges as fighting ships. These barges carry large guns like those on board HMS Elizabeth and others. The English now have an extraordinary fleet of these barges. The good feature of these barges is that they have a very shallow draught and can therefore sail over the mines without hitting them, and, secondly, they are able to go into very small places. A fleet of these barges is on the Belgian coast as sentries and is firing on the Belgian towns that the Germans have taken. Germany is apprehensive about these things lest they increase in number and overthrow its forts on the coast.
ROMANIA
Romania says that if the Allies commit 400,000 soldiers to fight against Bulgaria and Germany then it will fight for the Allies.
COLLECTION FOR THE WOUNDED.
On Saturday, 23rd of this month, a collection was held in Gisborne for the wounded. Those who went about the streets collecting were nurses from the private hospitals and the main hospital. They collected a large amount – a total of £760. This was only from Gisborne town. We think that if the collection is widened to the whole Province then it will get to £1000.
GREECE.
It is still no known what Greece has decided. The Allies have appealed to her to hurry up and tell them if she is a friend or an enemy.
[8]
SERBIA MAKES REMARKABLE ADVANCES.
These are the headline articles of the newspapers today, Tuesday, 26th October. Austria and Germany are seeking to make an alliance with Bulgaria; but where will one find the like of this very small nation of Serbia? General Mackensen, the general commanding the Austrian and German troops, hasd given up his attempt to link up his army with that of Bulgaria. He has discovered the resolution and the bravery of Serbia. He has drawn back the German and Austrian armies now; and it appears that he has done this because some many men have been killed.
A wire received last Saturday from Salonika tells of the Serbians advance in which they defeated the Austrians and Germans and retook a town called Veles which had been taken by the Germany.
BULGARIA IS DISHEARTENED.
Two Bulgarian towns on the Black Sea, Varna and Burgas, have been battered by Russian warships. It is said that the Russian bombardment was relentless and accurate and the people in those towns are beside themselves because of the shelling.
A WARSHIP IS SUNK.
One of the German warships has been sunk by an English submarine. That warship was built in 1903 at a cost of £885,000, it could travel at 20 miles an hour, and its crew numbered 504.
NEW ZEALAND WOUNDED IN ENGLAND.
There are 4,600 wounded New Zealanders in hospitals in England.
THIRD MAORI CONTINGENT.
On 21st October the Te Anau berthed at Auckland having sailed from the islands under the New Zealand Government. One hundred and fifty Maori from those islands were brought by the Honourable Dr Pomare to Takapuna to increase the complement of the Third Maori Contingent. Maori are now striving to get to Takapuna.
[9]
LETTERS FROM TAWHAI KOHERE TO HIS MOTHER.
The first of these letters was dated 20th August and this is what it said:
‘I hope from my heart that you are well again. I am very well even though I am at the ‘gate of death’ every day. Your letters have arrived. I see that your son (this is Lieutenant Henare Kohere) is coming here to fight, coming to this gathering of many sons of many mothers, who are fighting for a just and noble cause. Regard this as a very great honour for you to have a second of your sons engaged in this great enterprise; let this be something to give you joy all the days of your life. Be patient, the day is coming when we shall meet again. We are eager to see Henry and the others, the men of the Second Maori Contingent. Don’t put aside my pay that you are getting – it is nothing to me – there is plenty of time ahead of me to look after myself. Your grandchildren will be growing up. We are all well. Give them my love. I think that we and the Second Contingent that is coming will join together. Rutene is wounded and has been sent to the hospital. He’s having a holiday now. My thoughts are always returning to those who are unwell at home at Rangiata and Tarata. May God protect us all until we meet again (Sankey 494).’
From your Benjamin in the war.
T M Kohere.
[Tawhai is a younger brother of Reweti Kohere, the youngest of the family, and this is why he signs his name as Benjamin for Benjamin was the youngest of the children of Jacob. Another thing that needs explaining is the figure 494. . That figure is the number of a Pakeha hymn in Sankey’s Sacred Songs and Solos; that hymn says, ‘God be with you till we meet again, till we meet at Jesus’ feet.’ We will print Tawhai’s second letter soon. – Editor.]
A WORD OF EXPLANATION.
Those of you who received two copies of Number 22 of Te Kopara, please write and return those Numbers. It was a mistake on the part of the Printer. I will send the right Number to you. – Editor.

MORE LETTERS RECEIVED.
A.N.Z.A.C.
Gallipoli Peninsula,
13/8/15
Dear Kiwa,
Greetings. Away you go, my affectionate letter, carrying my grief for my parents and ancestors but also for all my family at home who have sadness and suffering in their hearts. In my spirit I love you and weep for you. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. This is the outcome of the anguish I feel in spirit – I am writing to seek out and to bring contentment to and to strengthen the hearts of all those who are waiting for some news of their children and grandchildren, and who like my family are caught up in the hard and horrible work this world is demanding of us. Although we are those who are at the forefront in this work, we are doing it, all of us together. We came here to uphold our name. We might wrong and we might debase our forefathers who have passed on as well as ourselves and those remaining and the generations to come. Let that not happen. Have a light heart; do not be sad. The outcome of what we are doing is to make our name and that of the Maori People, ‘a mighty branch’ of humanity [?he ‘kuha’ tangata] as our forebears would say. You will perhaps have heard news of the bravery of this company of youngsters with runny noses. According to the old stories it was grown-ups who did grown-up things like this. However don’t go imagining that it is these youngsters who did it. Our Father is not just the Father of grown-ups, he is the Father of the youngsters too, and so it was he, our Father, who guided us and has blessed us up to the present day. And he it is who will guide us and bring us to a peaceful end to this war. That we are such a small company and that some of us have been taken away is very wrong.
I shall not give a full account as I look back. On July 2nd we arrived here. From that date some of us were taken away but no-one was ill. On August 6th we began our assault. The Maori and the New Zealand soldiers were to open the way. When the assault began some of us found ourselves amongst the Pakeha. In various places we heard Maori doing the haka, ‘Ka mate, ka mate, ka ora, ka ora.’ The Maori did not turn back. Perhaps we took a thousand prisoners that night. When dawn came, men could be seen in heaps. That day there was not much to do but the Germans and Turks continued to fire at us. At 8 o’clock, Tanara, one of the children of Taare Wherehi, died.
[11]
On the night of August 6th, the night of our charge, Rawhira was wounded in the head. When I last saw him he was well but I do not know whether or not he will return. On 8th, Rota, Pango Rangi, Henare Morete, and Wharekete were also wounded. They are all well; Tanara is the only one from Gisborne who has died. Re, Te Haupai, Te Puni, Wi, Tuahae and others are all well. We are all having a breather now. Some are saying that by and by all of us from New Zealand and Australia are to return to Egypt. There we will perhaps meet up with the Maori group who are there. If it is agreed I will take with me a Ghurka as my friend. What a great people! I can’t write much because the writing forms are so small. However, best wishes to you all.
From your loving son,
Kahutia.
Sixteen of us have died, eighty-seven have been wounded. Ngati Porou at Te Araroa are fine. Perhaps one has died. But perhaps two from Te Herehere have died.

Dear Hori,
Greetings. Farewell, my affectionate letter to my Father. Koro, greetings to you there at home. I am very well, as are all of us. I have written to assure you that I have not been struck down by illness. However, I’m writing this really because perhaps it will be my last as we are returning to the front in the Dardanelles now. On June 3rd we landed on the Dardanelles. The Turks directed heavy fire at us as we landed on the shore. But we are all OK. Some were hit and some are in hospital, but we of Muriwai, Gisborne, are all well and have not yet been killed. Tame Arapata was nearly wounded; his hat was hit [?ka mutu tonu te mea] it resembled those in hospital who were wounded in the head, in the stomach, and in the legs. These were the injuries. Hori, what a terrible war. The Turks do not want to fight but the German Officers go behind them thrusting at them with their bayonets as they go. We know this from the prisoners. They don’t want to fight. The situation is like this, if the hill that we are fighting over is captured [?ko nga Hitereria] within two weeks the Turkish side will call a halt. That hill commands the Capital of Turkey and if it is captured the Turks will stop fighting because they don’t want their city destroyed. As for me, whether I return or not, my life is very good. That’s enough, Hori. I end my words here. By and by I shall write to you. Should we be fighting for a long time this letter will give you some insight. Best wishes to you and Heneriata. This letter has been brought home by a man who has returned home because of his wound. I gave it to him to take to the Post Office in Gisborne. That man comes from Te Karaka. He was wounded in the hand. His name is Cuthbert. Here I finish. May God protect you and me here.
From your child,
Hikiera Tautuhi.
The Dardanelles
19th August, 1915.
Dear Rawinia Tawhitawhi,
Greetings. Away you go, my sorrowful letter, to my mother. Kui, greetings to all of you there at home. I am well as are all of us here. Kui, there is terrible fighting here. Kui, I don’t know when it will end, however we are waiting for the end. Perhaps the time it will end is getting nearer. Kui, some of us have gone to the afterlife as a result of this war. But, greetings and salutations to all of you. May God bless us. Give my love to Mere and Jack, to my brothers and sisters and Rihara Hana. Tell him that I am well. I shan’t enlarge on my greetings to you all. What a fearful thing war is, a blazing of the guns. You will have been reading the Pakeha newspapers. I weep and am sad all the time that I am far from home. My brother-in-law has been wounded at the Mills house and has been taken to hospital. I finish. Stay well, all of you. Kui, I lovingly take up my pen and write a waiata; it may be my last waiata in this world. ‘The ink in my pen is blue; it is mixed with my tears.’ May God protect you all and me here.
From your loving son,
Hone Ruru Tapine Tewhiwhi.

BULGARIA.
Bulgaria did not retain for long the towns it took from Serbia and which it had plundered. They had taken a town called Vrange and also the railway. All these have been returned to Serbia now. Some 30,000 Pakeha soldiers, including French, have arrived at Nis to help Serbia.
Paris, 20th October.
One of the leading newspapers here says that Germany has lost 80,000 in the fighting between it and Russia at Dvinsk.
Petrograd, 20th October.
The newspaper here says that in the two months of fighting between Germany and Austria and Russia the Germans have lost 465,000 men.
London, 20th October.
The Daily Telegraph says that although Bulgaria took Vrange in their fight with Serbia, it was a battle in which Bulgaria lost many men. The Bulgarian soldiers who were killed is 10,000 and rising. The Serbians kept fighting until there were none of them left.
GENERAL JOFFRE.
This is the most recent statement by the leading French General to the world: ‘If peace were to be made today it would be a sin against all the generations to come. The nation we are fighting is a nation intoxicated with carrying out its desire to subject the world to its rule. The time is coming when the commitment of the German soldiers will be tested and it will be found that their commitment is based on fear, fear of their officers and fear of the Kaiser. This is the reason why Germany is fighting on heedlessly, because [?ki te whakatatakitahitia – sic] they are very fearful or they would not fight, and it is obvious to the world that this is the difference between the French, English and Russian soldiers and the German soldiers, that the Germans fight when they are fearful whereas the French and other soldiers of the Allies have within them the desire to fight and that thought impels them on – they don’t wait for anyone to tell them to fight.
