A cartoon reproduced from Punch in Canterbury,
17 June 1865. At this time the colonists were inclined to criticise the ineffectiveness of 'regular' soldiers in warfare against the Maoris, contrasting them very unfavourably with local troops. According to some critics, the soldiers' ineffectiveness was partly due to British opposition to the war as a whole, while there was continual controversy between Governor Grey and General Cameron as to tactics. However, though many urged that colonial volunteers could cope with Maoris in a way in which 'the Queen's troops' could not (or would not), colonists bitterly resented the repeated suggestion that they should be taken at their word and left to fight with their own resources.

| A cartoon by Trevor Lloyd published in The Auckland Weekly News, 10 December 1914. The caption to the original runs: 'Sir Joseph Ward has unfortunately chosen to identify himself with the naval subsidy system, which is still in vogue for New Zealand, and to oppose with some bitterness the "local navy" movement which has the support of the Massey Party, and is undoubtedly favoured by the country at large.' At the general election of 1912 Massey defeated Ward, and after consultation with the British Government, the Defence Minister, the Hon. (afterwards Sir) James Allen, carried through in 1913 the proposal for a New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy, to be partly manned by New Zealanders but to revert to Admiralty control on the outbreak of war. As the cartoon shows, Ward was emphatic in his opposition to the scheme. The cartoon is a good example of the work of Trevor Lloyd, whose topical cartoons were a feature of The Auckland Weekly News from 1903 onwards. | |
