SOUTHERN CROSS 9 April 1864

Excerpt from the newspaper for that date - for full report researcher would need to go
back to the newspaper.

’….Colonel Mould, CB, Royal Engineers, coming up with General Cameron, gave
his able assistance towards the completion of the sap into the enemy’s work.

‘As it was known that women and children were in the pa, the enemy was called upon
to surrender, previous to the concentrated fire of the Armstrong gun and hand grenades
 on their work, they were told that their lives would be spared and if they declined they
were requested at least to have compassion on their women and children and send them
out. They replied that they would not do so but would fight to the last. The pa was then
carried; the enemy effecting his escape from the opposite side of the work, dashed through
 a space from which the troops had been thrown back under cover, to enable the gun to open.
They were, however, speedily followed up and suffered a severe loss during a pursuit of nearly
six miles. Lieutenant Rait, Royal Artillery, with his troopers, and Captain Pye, Colonial
Defence Force, with a small detachment, having headed them and kept them back until
the infantry came up.

I regret to say that in the pa and in the pursuit some three or four women were killed 
unavoidably,probably owing to the similarity of dress of both men and women and their 
hair being cut equally short, rendering it impossible to distinguish one from the other at 
any distance.

The troops were recalled about sundown and bivouacked round the enemy’s late position.

At an early hour this morning I caused diligent search to be made for the killed and wounded
of the enemy. Their loss was considerable, amounting to 101 killed, besides 18 to 20 reported
by native prisoners as buried in the pa, 26 wounded and taken prisoners, 7 taken prisoners.

In addition to this number the natives were seen to be engaged carrying off dead and wounded
early in the morning at the most distant point of pursuit and fresh tracks showed that they had
been similarly occupied during the night.

I beg to bring to the special notice of the Lieut-General commanding the forces the gallant
bearing of Captain Baker, 18th Royal Irish, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General, during the
whole of the operations but more especially on the occasion, already mentioned, of the fall
of that brave and lamented soldier, Captain Ring.

Also the determined bravery of Captain Herford, Waikato Militia, who was very severely
wounded (loss of eye) and the gallantry of Lieutenant Harrison, Waikato Militia, both of
whom remained at the head of the sap nearly the whole time, keeping down the fire of the
enemy, by the well-directed balls of their own rifles. Likewise of Sergeant McKay, Royal
Artillery, who, as before mentioned, under a galling fire threw, with the greatest precision
and coolness, hand grenades from thee sap and from the lodgment made in the outer work
of the enemy into his stronghold.

The wounded received the greatest possible attention on the field from the senior medical
officer Dr White, 65th Regiment;’ ably seconded by Assistant-Surgeons Spenser, 18th Royal
Irish; Inles, 40th Regiment; and Hilston, RN; until the arrival of Dr Mouat, CB, NZ, the PMO
who left nothing undone in providing for their comfort, etc.

I trust the conduct of the officers and men under my command during this long 
operation of three days and three nights, without cover, and constantly under fire, 
may meet with the approvalof the Commander of the Forces.

The casualties on our side - 16 killed and 52 wounded - of which I enclose a return, 
are, I regretto say, severe.

I beg to recommend to the favour notice of the Lieutenant-General Commanding the 
Forces, theable services rendered by the following officers, who so cordially assisted 
me in carrying out my operations, viz:

Colonel Leslie, CB, commanding 40th Regiment
Major Blyth, 40th Regiment, commanding detached force on right flank.
Captain Blewitt, 65th Regiment, commanding detached force on left flank.
Captain Vereker, commanding detachment 12th Regt.
Captain Inman, commanding detachment 18th Royal Irish
Captain Cay, commanding detachment 70th Regt
Captain Betty, RA, commanding Royal Artillery
Lieutenant Rait, RA, commanding mounted Royal Artillery troopers
Lieutenant Hurst, 12th Regt, acting as engineer.
Lieutenant-Colonel Haultain, commanding Waikato Militia and
Captains Jackson and von Tempsky of the Forest Rangers.
Dr White, 65th Regt, senior medical officer in charge of Field Force

I have further to claim the kind consideration of the Commander of the Forces,
for the officers of my Staff, viz:-

Captain Baker, 18th Royal Irish, DAA General, and Captain the Hon F Pvte French,
40th Regt all afforded me the greatest help both day and night by their untiring zeal
and energy in carrying out my orders.

I beg to enclose a sketch of the enemy’s work and our approaches to it, made by Lieutenant
Hurst, 12th Regt., also a rough sketch of the country between this and the enemy’s position,
showing the combined movement of the Force on the night of the 30th ultimo.

I have etc
