In 1915, 160 Niuean men joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and set sail to Egypt and France. Most had never left the island before, or worn shoes before. Most spoke no English, and most significantly, they had no immunity to European disease. Within three months of leaving New Zealand, over 80 per cent of them had been hospitalized. Margaret Pointer traced the lost story of Niue’s involvement in World War I while living on the island in the 1990s. The resulting book, Tagi Tote e Loto Haaku: My Heart is Crying a Little, was published in 2000.  This moving story has now been set in a wider Pacific context and also considers the contribution made by colonial troops to the Allied effort.

In October 1915, 150 young men sailed from the island of Niue in the Pacific Ocean, to take part in the Great War. None had ever left their tiny island before. Most spoke no English. They were unaccustomed to Palagi food and clothing. They were unprepared for a cold climate. Their isolation in the Pacific for generations meant they had no immunity to Palagi diseases. Yet they sailed on this, the greatest voyage ever undertaken by Niue Islanders. As members of the New Zealand Maori Contingent, the Niueans served in Egypt then France before being withdrawn to England in the face of mounting sickness rates. Now, for the first time, the details of this journey have been pieced together and the story told of the Niuean contribution to World War I.
