"Little has been written on the Australian involvement during the New Zealand Wars ... It is hoped that this story will increase the understanding of events which surrounded Australians enlisting for service in New Zealand, and record the earliest battles Australians as a group fought against the Māoris. This neglected area of Australia's military history ought to remind present day generations of the dependence both countries still have upon each other"--Introduction.
