The Later Blockhouse at Pukearuhe Redoubt
This sketch shows a blockhouse, still in existence, erected at one of the angles of the Pukearuhe Redoubt, after the destruction of the original building by Wetere te Rerenga's raiding-party. The inset shows detail of the rifle loopholes. The drawing was made by Mr. Messenger in 1916.
