Battle of Te Ranga

Description

TitleBattle of Te RangaDescriptionTwo months following Gate Pā, a scouting contingent of British Regulars happened upon Tauranga Māori preparing for battle at Te Ranga, a defensive Pā which was far from finished when discovered.

Seizing the opportunity, the British Army rushed into the area and attacked the Pā, inflicting a heavy defeat upon Māori ill-prepared for battle. The Māori death toll was high – 120 men, with 27 wounded. The British lost thirteen men with 39 wounded.Date21 June 1864Geolocation^[1]
