What does the Battle of Gate Pa mean to me? by Alena

SummaryWhat does the Battle of Gate Pa mean to me? by Alena from Gate Pa School was part of an entry by Room 15 into the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Gate Pā Poetry Poster Competition (2014). Main BodyThere was a war between British and Māori.
The Māori made trenches and holes.
Attack said the Māori chief.
The Māori jumped up and started to shoot the British.
Darkness above us, deadly fighting.
Some were wounded. Some had died.
Heni gave water to the hurt soldiers.
Memories gone.
