Dear Editor of Maori Battalion. 23/08/1915
Today we would like to ask you some question about WW1.
I hope you know what we are going to say in this letter.
We red your story and it says that brown people are not allowed to fight in WW1. We thought because they are not good at fighting or they won’t focus, so our question is
Why wouldn’t you let the brown people fight in WW1?
Is there a reason why white people won’t let brown people take part in the war?
Why don’t you want all kinds of people participating in war?
We think it is not fair for native people like brown people to be digging out trenches while other soldiers fight for their country. We think all people should have the right to fight for their country.
Waikato people and the Taranaki people had the right to disagree of taking part in the war.
We think that because the government took away their land, so we think it is fair to disagree.
We feel like brown people altogether that should’ve been involved in the war. We hope you agree with our opinions
This is the same version as my letter to the editor. I am posting it in another font because some people will not be able to read it properly so I have made another copy with only Arial as font.
