It is not known exactly how many indigenous men went over seas with the first AIF in 1914 but it is known that at least 300 aboriginal men fought in World War 1. Of these approxomately 45 died and 59 were severly wounded. The number of indigenous people was most likely much higher although many of them pretended to be Maoris to hide there aboriginality.
