Description

TitleIllustrated London News 1864 vol.44 page 5DescriptionThe illustrations show the Waikato district - then the centre of conflict in New Zealand - showing the bush-covered Waikato Heads, a nearby Māori village and church, and a settler’s house along the river. Military reports from October note that British forces were holding their positions while awaiting gunboats, during which Māori fighters carried out raids on isolated settlements. Several skirmishes followed, generally favouring the British except for a setback at Cameron Town. Volunteer recruitment in New Zealand and neighbouring colonies was strong, and additional troops had arrived from Australia.Year1864Volume44Page Number5FormatNewspaper article
