The 14th Regiment arrived in New Zealand from Ireland in 1860. It was present at the siege of Te Arei and remained in Taranaki until 1863, when it transferred to Waikato, taking part in the actions at Koheroa and Rangiriri. A detachment fought at Gate Pa. It was later stationed at Napier and Wanganui and formed part of Chute’s force in the Waganui campaign.
