The phrase New Zealand Wars covers a variety of affrays, whose common factors were relatively few beyond that all, at some level, involved government forces suppressing risings by the indigenous Maori peoples. The background to the conflicts was misunderstandings and lapses, more or less wilful from case to case, in the implementation of the Treaty of Waitangi by which in 1840 the newly-instituted New Zealand government had protected the Maori tribes from loss of their lands. Not all the conflicts for which the New Zealand Medal was awarded were of this kind, however, some rather being wars between Maori tribes in which one side had managed to engage the government. There were twenty-eight different sorts of New Zealand Medal awarded, of which twenty-seven bore the dates of different periods of service, some CM.1405-2009 1 accession number CM.1405-2009 141499 priref 141499 Watson Catalogue 314 ordering M-0288 previous object number LW.0288 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141499 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141499 Bust of Victoria facing left with veil obverse VICTORIA D: G: BRITT: REG: D: F: design Central inscription "1864 to 1866" within laurel wreath reverse design reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Lester Watson through Cambridge in America, 2009 reference agent-206432 adlib-agent-206432 e0b1da8e-f9e4-30be-9257-f82c89d45afb Watson, Lester 2009 2009 2009 given on loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum 2005-2009 1869 1869 1869 mint reference agent-149658 adlib-agent-149658 4cb81521-c6ef-3826-8224-de2a104139c5 London die-engraver reference agent-174996 adlib-agent-174996 cd83be93-58be-3aee-8983-31753952b032 Austin, G. artist reference agent-174939 adlib-agent-174939 ef03ee86-1bdc-32c3-adde-9a8cd4c1123d Wyon, Joseph Shepherd ruler reference agent-151398 adlib-agent-151398 bb2cd0a1-0a27-3787-a684-475d3b199972 Victoria (1837-1901) with the title of ruler reference agent-174997 adlib-agent-174997 6c93e75e-1a20-3be0-8efc-780f48c8c9f3 Victoria D: G: Britt: Reg: F: D: reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 London reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver Diameter mm 36 Weight g 37.55 reference media-116549 adlib-media-116549 d1ae1717-1f34-31b2-85bd-8520618ff419 jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 158 1742589771028 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 158 1742589771028 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 158 1742589771028 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 158 1742589771028 1 image 0 media image reference media-116550 adlib-media-116550 b782fa4f-250e-3d0f-ae74-d34da1a5282e jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 166 1742589747996 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 166 1742589747996 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 166 1742589747996 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0288_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 166 1742589747996 1 image 1 media image reference term-123019 adlib-term-123019 29784126-4618-3d1c-83b0-083ec312be5d New Zealand Medal (1845-1847 and 1860-1866) denomination reference term-98222 adlib-term-98222 b5ccc43a-7491-344e-b6ca-5df39a11c50e medals series reference term-108659 adlib-term-108659 cc732dec-4543-389e-a737-cf22bb7d2ee2 Military subseries reference term-9097 adlib-term-9097 39455d30-a410-3281-99d6-4d8d92279b23 New Zealand subsubseries reference term-123017 adlib-term-123017 ed182d90-679e-35fc-8c03-5199ea39aebb New Zealand Defence Forces subsubsubseries history note Gift of L.
