Artist unknown :Monument of the 43rd killed at the Gate Pah, Tauranga [1868]
- Date
- 1868
- Reference
- A-443-015-1
- Description
Shows a view of the monument commemorating 26 men of the 43rd Regiment who were killed in action or died of wounds received at Pukehinahina (Gate Pa) and Te Ranga in mid-1864. The monument itself is in the foreground on the right, with the white pickets of the cemetery showing in front of it. A number of trees, including cabbage trees and flax bushes, stand prominently to its left. From the headland Mount Maunganui can be seen in the background.
Although not the same scene, this might usefully be compared to Henry Ambrose Scrivener's Burial ground at Tauranga New Zealand of those killed at the Gate Pah... 1864 (B-064-024) and Andrew Thomas H. Carbery's Cemetery at Te Papa, Tauranga (E-248-q-096), which show similar views prior to the monument's erection.
