Last living member of the 28th Māori Battalion, Sir Robert ‘Bom’ Nairn Gillies, dies
"Bom is survived by his children and six mokopuna, leaving behind a legacy of resilience, humility, and a fierce dedication to justice for his people. His passing marks the end of a monumental chapter in New Zealand’s history. With the death of Gillies, we lose the last living bridge to the 28th Māori Battalion’s heroic past."
