Note 192 — Chapter IX · 1858-1882. RAISING OF THE SECOND BATTALION: THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.
Reading edition
The regimental records of the New Zealand War are far from complete, for the battalion was constantly broken up into small detachments, buried in stockades in the depths of the bush. Between these detachments and headquarters communication was most difficult, and for weeks, and even months, the various portions of the regiment knew nothing of each other’s proceedings.
