Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Neke atu i te 70 tau ki muri, i whai wāhi nui ēnei tangata tokorima ki te pakanga o Normandy, i tīmata ki te Rā D. E rua noa iho nga taiohi, ko tetahi he kaipatu taiohi, ko tetahi he taraiwa tank rookie a ko te whakamutunga he toa o te pakanga ngahere. He taitamariki noa katoa e mahi ana i a rātau mahi hei āwhina ki te whakaoranga i Wīwī. Tae noa mai ki tēnei wā, kāore i kitea e ngā kaituhituhi hītori a rātau mahi, engari inanahi, i tū whakapehapeha ēnei hōia o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao i te taha o tētahi, i muri i te whakawhiwhinga ki a rātau i te tohu nui rawa o Wīwī, te Legion d<unk>Honneur. Ka whakawhiwhia ki ngā toa toa o Wīwī te honore nui rawa mō tō rātou tūranga nui i te rā D i roto i tētahi hui i Yorkshire Air Museum, Mai i te Mauī ki te Matau: Ko Gordon Collinson, ko Eric Gerald Briscoe, ko Thomas William Wright, ko Eric Gill, ko James Denwood, ko Catherine Rush e whakaae ana ki te honore i runga i te ingoa o tana tāne, a Bernard Rush. I a ia e whakahaere ana i te huihuinga i te Whare Taonga o Yorkshire Air i Elvington, tata ki York, i kii te Kaikauwhau o Parani a Sylvie Bermann ki nga hoia pakaru: "Kei konei ahau ki te mohio ki o mahi toa i te whakaoranga o Parani me te whakahonore i to maia me to whakatapu". I waenganui i te 90 me te 99 tau, kei roto rātau i te tuatahi o te 2,800 hōia e ora ana ka whiwhi i te Legion of Honour i roto i nga marama e haere ake nei. I panuitia te whakatau e te Perehitini o Wīwī a Francois Hollande i muri i ngā whakanui o te tauwhāinga tauwhāinga 70 o te raumati o te tau kua hipa, ā, ka mea te āpiha: "Ka pupuri a Wīwī i tana kupu whakaari". Ahakoa kei te memeha haere ngā maharatanga, kāore i taea e tēnei rōpū hōia whakaiti - me te pouaru o tētahi toa i mate tata nei - te huna i tō rātou whakapehapeha i a rātou e whiwhi ana i te mētara whakamutunga o ō rātou oranga whakahirahira. Ko Eric Gill (matau), he toa o te pakanga o Burma i tae ki tetahi takutai i Normandy, i whakaahuahia i te wa o te whakaoranga o France. Ko Gerry Briscoe he kaikawe kai i te wā i uru atu ai ia ki te hōia i te 18 o ona tau, kotahi tau i muri mai ka whakatakoto i a ia ki te rārangi mā te whakaeke i tētahi takutai o Normandy. Ko tana mahi tuatahi, he wheako whakamataku hoki mō te hōia pakeke, kaua rawa mō te taitamariki. He kaipatu ki te...
Ko te Rōpū ko ngā hōia ora tuatahi o te 2,800 e whiwhi ana i te Legion of Honour. I te iwa tekau tau o rāua, he taiohi rāua i te wā i āwhina ai rātau ki te whakaoranga i Wīwī. I whakawhiwhia te mētara ki a rātou mō ā rātou mahi toa, mō ā rātou mahi toa.
