Be it `Tipperary or `Pokarekare, the morning reveille or the bugles last post, concert parties at the front or patriotic songs at home, music was central to New Zealands experience of the First World War. In Good-Bye Maoriland, the acclaimed author of Blue Smoke: The Lost Dawn of New Zealand Popular Music introduces us to the songs and sounds of World War I in order to take us deep inside the human experience of war.
