My Dad, of whom I am immensely proud, was a British Army Officer before he emigrated to New Zealand. He was taught about the Maori Wars at Sandhurst, because the defences Maori built, were in the opinion of British Army strategists, the most sophisticated and possibly the first, military use of trenches...

I am also rather chuffed that Sir Ian picked up on the point I made too in response to WG, about the colonials not being the senior party when the Treaty was drafted. As he points out, they were the minority. Maybe that's why some are trying to rewrite it.
