Maori Battalion?

[edit]

The Duncan MacIntyre (New Zealand politician) article currently reads: "...and commanded the Māori Battalion.", but the Māori Battalion article does not support this. At http://teaohou.natlib.govt.nz/journals/teaohou/issue/Mao68TeA/c3-1.html it says "In 1945, as Commanding Officer of the New Zealand Divisional Cavalry, he was given command of the 28th Maori Battalion contingent and took it to Japan", but the the Māori Battalion article says "a 270-strong contingent from the battalion was sent to Japan under the designation of 'D' Squadron, 2nd Divisional Cavalry Battalion, under the command of Major J.S Baker". Oddly the J Force article also makes no mention of him. Odd. Can anyone clarify? Snori (talk) 09:37, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
