Original – Quoting the file description (as there's a lot of detail known about this image): Māori Battalion survivors of action in Greece, performing a haka in Helwan, Egypt for the King of Greece. From left to right, the four men in the foreground are John Manuel, Maaka White, Te Kooti Reihana, and Rangi Henderson. A cropped version of this photo featured on an ANZAC commemorative stamp issued in 2008.

Reason

ANZAC day is approaching, and I think we often forget New Zealand. This is an iconic image of the Māori Battalion, well-known in in New Zealand (I am assured by New Zealand friends).
