SummaryWhat the Battle of Gate Pa means to me by Manatoa 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 BodyWe hid in the trenches Our weapons were read to attack the Pakeha's We wanted to protect our pa with honour and glory. The Pakeha's attacked us with canons, musket's, and guns. We killed many of the Pakeha. That night we escaped out the back.
