Photograph shows one of the many sites of battle on the New Zealand landscape.

The cross marks the site of No 3 Redoubt, Waitara, which was defended by the British Army against a midnight attack by Māori, on 23 January 1861.  Fifty Māori died during the ill-fated assault, with 5 British Regulars. The site now stands on private land, thō the owners do normally allow access.

Remembering sites like this constitutes an important process of ‘remembering’.
