Major General Horatio Gordon Robley joined the 68th Durham Light Infantry in 1858. "In 1863 the 68th Regiment left Burma for New Zealand and, in the following April, Robley took his troops to Tauranga to join General Cameron's forces attacking Gate Pa. Here he remained for 19 months during which his amazing series of sketches of Maori life were executed." (William John Phillips in Encyclopedia of New Zealand).
