Edward McGuire served with the 70th Regiment in New Zealand from July 1861 and was present at Katikari, also known as Tataraimaka, on 4 June 1863. He was afterwards on field duty in the Waikato, Taranaki and Wanganui districts until July 1865. The regiment returned to England in January 1866 where he served until his discharge in 1870.

Sold with some research but McGuire’s discharge papers have not survived.
