	EJANZH: Articles:
		At the end of the Waikato War, the Australian colonial troops fortunate enough to survive were to discover that the cost for trying to achieve a better life and adventure would not always be worth the attempt.
		The case was put forward that the Maoris had forced this war upon the British Empire and that the British forces were led by the 'illustrious' General Cameron who was "among the band of Crimean heroes who distinguished himself in the glorious victory of the Alma" and thus sure to succeed.
		To denounce the war effort was seen as 'absolutely disloyal' and even regarded as 'criminal.' New Zealand was seen as in considerable danger and in desperate need of help from their 'brethren' colonists.

	TITOKOWARU - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		A chief of Ngati Ruahine tribe of South Taranaki, Titokowaru was prominent as a prophet and priest.
		Maoris attribute his decline of power to an illicit liaison with another chief's wife at Tauranga-ika pa. This circumstance was fatal to his own prestige and sanctity so that he was no longer “the invincible war priest and war captain of his people”.
		After stands at Otautu and Whakamara, Titokowaru was harried by Wanganui Maoris until he finally abandoned the district, with his power broken, never to fight again.
