In the middle distance are the main barracks, and scattered buildings of a small town behind. The Waipa River may be visible at left before it flows behind central rise separating the foreground from the background. Pirongia Mountain may be the hill at right, although Pirongia Mountain is twin-coned. Artist attributed on grounds of style. The work was attributed to Williams prior to its acquisition. It is also stylistically similar to the work of Henry James Warre; however Warre is not known to have been in Pirongia. He was based in Taranaki. Alexandra is the old name for Pirongia. Members of the 2nd Waikato Regiment built a strong redoubt on a hill at the west side of the town, in about 1864. The long low building in the left background is the Alexandra West Redoubt, while the set of buildings on a low hill in the centre background is the Alexandra East Redoubt.

Provenance: Previously sold at Webb's auction, Auckland, March 1981. The Library has coloured photographs from this period showing the watercolour as quite faded. An earlier owner was Mr L. M.
