Sketches from New Zealand: the Queen's Redoubt, on the Waikato, the head-quarters of Lieutenant-General Cameron, 1864. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. 'General Cameron's head-quarters are established at a redoubt about thirty-six miles from Auckland, called the Queen's Redoubt, and which will form his dépôt for provisions and basis of operations when he advances into the rebel country of the Waikato. This redoubt is situated about one mile and a half from a river called the Mangatawarri, on the bank of which the party of seamen of the Harrier, under Commander Sullivan, who have been working the boats, have formed their camp. The General has established strongly-stockaded posts on the opposite bank of the river, on the heights of Koheroa, and an advanced post on a creek about three miles from Koheroa heights, called the Whangamarino Redoubt, about 2400 yards from Meremere, and commanding a good view of it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
