Lieutenant-General Sir Henry James Warre KCB (British, 1819-1898) "The Tribal Maori Position at Kitake, Taranaki - taken & occupied 25th March 1864 by Sir Henry Warre" watercolour, inscribed below 24 x 34cm (9.5in x 13.5in) Provenance: Rathbone Family of Liverpool Collection Army officer and artist. As an army officer in the Buckinghamshire Regiment, he served in British North America, including Canada, as ADC (Aide-de-camp) to his uncle, Sir R. D. Jackson, Commander-in-chief of the British forces. He travelled across country to Oregon and British Columbia in 1845-1846. He also served during the Crimean War. With the rank of Colonel, he served in New Zealand 1861-1865 as Commanding Officer of the 57th Regiment, based in the North Island. He also undertook a sea voyage to the South Island, including visits to Nelson, Lyttelton and Otago in 1865. Painted and drew in pencil and watercolours. His New Zealand drawings and watercolours are held in the Alexander Turnbull Library, Auckland Museum, Auckland Art Gallery, Christchurch Art Gallery, Hocken Library and the National Library of Australia. Canadian watercolours and drawings are held by the Public Archives of Canada, Ottawa. Kaitake was stormed and captured by the troops on the 25th March, 1864. A force of 420 of the 57th, 70th, and Volunteers and Militia, with four guns, under Colonel Warre, moved out from New Plymouth to the base of the range. The guns were placed in position about 1,500 yards from the right of the Maori rifle-pits, and made such accurate practice that most of the defenders were driven out of those portions of the works
