| 520 | _a"Corporal Tikitanu, V.C." by J. C. Fussell is a fictional narrative set in the early 20th century, centering around the experiences of a Māori soldier during World War I. The book combines elements of adventure, humor, and cultural exploration, highlighting the heroism and unique perspective of Henare Tikitanu as he embarks on a journey from New Zealand to the battlefields of France. It not only offers insights into the war but also delves into Māori culture, family ties, and the challenges of love amidst conflict. The story follows Henare Tikitanu, who enlists in the military, leaving behind his sweetheart, Kiri, to fight for the British Empire. From humorous mishaps during his enlistment and training to the battlefront, Henare's adventures are narrated with a blend of humorous pidgin-English and profound loyalty to his people and homeland. His courage earns him a Victoria Cross, which he receives with mixed emotions as he navigates friendships, rivalries (notably with Wiremu, his old rival for Kiri's affections), and the tragic realities of war. As Henare recounts his journey, readers witness his growth from a playful young man into a celebrated soldier, culminating in his return home, where he marries Kiri amidst celebration and admiration from his community.
