She vividly recalls the war years, particularly around 1942 when she was about 10. The Porangahau beach was off-limits due to the community’s fear of a Japanese invasion. During this time, American soldiers arrived, setting up camp on the beach with their convoy trucks and motorbikes. Even as children, Rae and her siblings were constantly aware of the threat, often envisioning escape routes up the large hill behind their home—memories that lingered long after the danger had passed.
