This graphic novel is the story of how Second Lieutenant Te
Moana-nuia-Kiwa Ngarimu of 28 Maori Battalion won the VC during
World War Two. On 26 March 1943, two weeks before his 24th
birthday, Ngarimu led an attack on Point 209, a vital hill at
Tebaga Gap in Tunisia. Under intense mortar and machine gun-fire,
he led the assault up the hill, personally destroying two German
machine-gun posts on a crest of the hill. Despite being wounded
twice during the night, he and his men defended their position from
several counter-attacks. The following morning during a
particularly strong counter-attack, Ngarimu was killed. Later the
same day, the Germans still on Point 209 surrendered.
