About

Now a scarce account about one of the earliest conflicts to involve Australian forces in New Zealand.

The continuing expansion of European settlers onto Maori land and the colonial government’s determination to crush native independence resulted in the first war which took place in 1845–6. With insufficient troops in New Zealand to meet the threat, the 58th Regiment of Foot, then based in Australia, was dispatched in February 1845, soon to be followed by further troops. Fighting died down after 1846 but flared again in 1860 before a truce was declared and peace returned.

Includes monochrome images and maps.

Remarks

Increasingly scarce.
