Major Cyprian Bridge (1807-1885) Military Topographer of the First Maori War (1845-47). English School, 19th century, portrait miniature, watercolour on ivory, rectangular, 7cm x 9cm After Hone Heke`s attacks on the flagpole at Kororareka, the War in the North began with the invasion of the town on the 11th of March 1845 and continued until the sack of Ruapekapeka pa on the 11th of January 1846. Over these ten violent months regular British forces learned for the first time what it was to face a Maori foe, many men died during frontal assaults on pa that were impregnable by such tactics The British were again repulsed in May at a pa built by Heke near Okaihau and again at Ohaiawai in July, where they suffered heavy losses. The final Maori stand was made at Te Ruki Kawiti`s pa Ruapekapeka, where nearly two hundred defenders faced a combined British and Auckland volunteer force of over sixteen hundred. Equipped with heavy artillery, this proved to be a easy victory for the Imperial forces, who quickly overran the Maoris when most of them were at their customary prayer meeting outside the pa Two soldiers made extended visual records of this war, Lance-Sergeant John Williams of the 58th Regiment, and his superior, Major Cyprian Bridge. Their pictures are vital historical documents of the first pakeha war, and have been used in illustrations in histories from as early as 1859. Even so, direct information about the pictures and their production is both rare and scattered, like the pictures themselves "The British soldier found the Maori on the whole the grandest native enemy that he ever encountered. Gurkhas and Sikhs were formidiable before them; Zulus were formidable after them, but all these had copied European discipline. The Maori had his own code of war, the essence of which was a fair fight on a day and place fixed by appointment, which the best and bravest man should win. The British soldier, therefore, held him in deepest respect, not resenting his own little defeats, but recognising the noble side of the Maori, and forgetting his savagery` Sir John Fortescue Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports
