Despite being wounded twice during the night, he and his men defended their position from several counter-attacks. The following morning, during a particularly strong counter-attack, Ngarimu was killed. Later the same day, the Germans still on Point 209 surrendered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Māori-language version is also available, Ngarimu: Te Tohu Toa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBook Details\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.087%; height: 39.1876px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 49.7809%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9781775500056\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 49.7809%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePublished: June 1, 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 49.7809%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 49.7809%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePublisher: Huia Publishers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Huia Publishers, Andrew Burdan","offers":[{"title":"Soft Cover","offer_id":51751690240282,"sku":"VICTORY","price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/tetiniroto.com\/products\/victory-at-point-209","provider":"Te Tini Roto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
