Description
New Zealand Medal 1861-1861. P Cahill 3rd Waikato Regt. Impressed, naming obscured by 'X' overstrikes. Very fine.
Ex Lt Cdr Gwyn Rees MBE Collection (Auckland) 1997. This medal was never applied for and was sold by the New Zealand Defence Department in the 1970s. In accordance with regulations the naming was partly obscured by 'X' markings. Phillip Cahill enlisted in the 3rd Waikato Regiment in Melbourne on 4 September 1863. It is likely he was tempted with offers of land grants and pensions. He saw service in the Waikato Campaign in both the 3rd Waikato Regiment and the Imperial Commissariat Corps and participated in the engagement at Orakau from 31 March to 2 April 1864. Cahill returned to Australia on 29 August 1864.
