Ex Dixon's (Yorkshire) 1996. The Military Train were brought to New Zealand to assist the Commissariat Transport Corps in the transportation of military stores and provisions however proved to be such skilled horsemen that they were engaged against the Maori as a cavalry force. They had served in a similar function during the Indian Mutiny in 1857. Their most noted action as a Cavalry force was at Nukumaru in January 1865. The British Forces did not have any formal cavalry regiments serving in New Zealand. John Connors served in New Zealand from 1864 to 1867. He was based mainly in the Wanganui and Waikato areas. Private Connors appears to have benn discharged shortly after his return to England. He was awarded a New Zealand Medal with an undated reverse, one of 62 such medals awarded to the Military Train. Undated medals were awarded to men no longer serving with the Regiment.
