Yes, The First World War saw Māori soldiers serve for the first time in a major conflict with the New Zealand Army. A contingent took part in the Gallipoli campaign (25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916), and later served with distinction on the Western Front as part of the New Zealand (Māori) Pioneer Battalion. 2688 Māori and 346 Pacific Islanders served with New Zealand forces in total.
