The first man on shore at gallipoli in the great war. New Zealand's greatest ever statesman and a veteran of two world wars.

@@epigwaitthistory You know, I'll just say it again. When the day has been rough, I can always count on this channel specifically cause it's longform, and he knows how to tell a story. It's a lost art, there's few who can ramble like Jared and Mccrystal. With a tinge of MADNESS but a gift for storytelling. aw it's brilliant. glances down at his actual papers then just goes off memory, it's something I admire.

Has a rhythm of speaking, also good video accompaniment as well. Nice job. Why did you like my old flag? The british one? Haha as far as I know NZ never had a flag in Canada.
We need more real men like him in NZ these days.

There has been a lack of men of his calibre missing from public office for too long. These career politicians are eroding the foundations these great men and women provided us.
Not with fear!
What an amazing man
Kiwis, per capita, are most interesting as a lot.

Can sure pack a punch in warfare too
He and the kiwis virtually grounded the German paratroopers after Crete. With a bit more communication they would have held the island.
I'm guessing you put together the video to go with the radio show..? Nice work

Was wondering when you would pop in. As far as I know, yes. Including 1914 not too long after General Freyburg left.

@@epigwaitthistory Not sure Maximillion I counts but that sure looks US backed to me. Santa Anna/Texas war. Poncho Villa/Pershing… I’m curious now. We treat Mexico like an occupied territory that we don’t really occupy. The CIA/United Fruit and nut company overthrow of Guatemala in the 50’s is interesting also. If these people knew their own history they would hate us.
