EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history as Maori soldiers perform a traditional haka at Gaba Tepe on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, during World War I. Published in London in 1916, this image is part of the renowned War Illustrated Album Deluxe. In this striking photograph, we witness the first-hand expression of these brave New Zealanders as they engage in their ancestral war dance. The intensity and passion emanating from their faces and bodies are palpable, reflecting both their warrior spirit and deep connection to their Maori heritage. Gaba Tepe served as a significant battleground during the Gallipoli campaign, where soldiers from various nations fought fiercely for control over strategic positions. Amidst the chaos of war, these Maori warriors found solace and strength through performing the haka – an ancient tradition that symbolizes unity, defiance, and readiness for battle. The profound significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of wartime bravery but also in its celebration of cultural identity amidst adversity. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination displayed by these New Zealand soldiers who traveled far from home to fight for freedom. Preserved through time by photographer Ken Welsh's lens, this print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter of history while honoring the indomitable spirit of those who fought valiantly on foreign shores.
