Notes: The Turning Tides expansion for Battlefield 1 allows you to play as a Māori sniper in Gallipoli. It is speculated that the character is modelled after real-life Māori soldier Hāmi, otherwise known as Thomas Grace. Hāmi landed in Gallipoli on April 26, 1915; and sadly died on August 8, 1915 at the age of 25.


YouTube videos show Māori content - notably, a haka - in more detail.
