Waitara Battle Report From the 40th Regiment

An officer’s letter from Cam Waitara dated January describes the 20th December engagement near Pakotakane and Puketakauere Stockade. The 40th advanced guard fought in a long gully fight with heavy Maori resistance, suffering 2 killed and 19 wounded while the enemy held ground until a flag of truce appeared. The narrative details trench works, a night march, and a tentative end as British forces retired to a camp and later renewed efforts were forestalled by the truce.
