| Name = Give 'Em the Boot IV
The [[Victoria Cross]] (VC) was awarded to 15 recipients for action during the [[New Zealand Land Wars]]. The VC is a [[military decoration]] awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of armed forces of some [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] countries and previous [[British Empire]] territories. It takes precedence over all other Orders, decorations and medals; it may be awarded to a person of any [[Military rank|rank]] in any service and to civilians under military command.<ref>Ashcroft, Michael; preface; XI&ndash;XIII</ref> The award was officially constituted when [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] issued a [[Warrant (law)|warrant]] under the [[Royal sign-manual]] on 29 January 1856, which was [[London Gazette|gazetted]] on 5 February 1856.<ref name=Ashcroft>Ashcroft, Michael; Preface to Victoria Cross Heroes</ref><ref name=GazetteOriginalWarrant>{{LondonGazette|issue=21846|startpage=410|endpage=411|date=1856-02-05|accessdate=2008-01-12}} The Gazette publishing the original Royal Warrant</ref> The order was backdated to 1854 to recognise acts of valour during the [[Crimean War]].<ref>Ashcroft, Michael; pp.7&ndash;10</ref>

Originally the VC was not available to colonial troops, even if under British command; this was changed in 1867. The extension was made following a recommendation for gallantry regarding colonial soldier Major [[Charles Heaphy]] for action in the [[New Zealand land wars]] in 1864.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/1966/H/HeaphyCharles/HeaphyCharles/en |title=HEAPHY, Charles |publisher=New Zealand Encyclopedia |year=1966 |accessdate=2007-06-17}}</ref> He was operating under British command and the VC was gazetted in 1867. Later that year, the Government of New Zealand assumed full responsibility for operations but no further recommendations for the Victoria Cross were raised for local troops who distinguished themselves in action.<ref name=Abbott230-236/> Following gallant actions by three New Zealand soldiers in November 1868 and January 1869 during the land wars, an [[Order-in-Council]] on 10 March 1869 created a “Distinctive Decoration” for members of the local forces without seeking permission from the [[Secretary of State for the Colonies]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/1966/N/NewZealandCross/NewZealandCross/en |title=New Zealand Cross |publisher=New Zealand Encyclopedia |year=1966 |accessdate=2007-06-17}}</ref> Although the Governor was chided for exceeding his authority, the Order in Council was ratified by the Queen. The title “Distinctive Decoration” was later replaced by the title [[New Zealand Cross (1869)|New Zealand Cross]].<ref name=Abbott230-236>Abbott PE, Tamplin JMA, Chapter 34, 230&ndash;236</ref>

The New Zealand land wars were a series of conflicts that took place in New Zealand between 1845 and 1872. The two conflicts where soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross were the [[Taranaki Māori War]] of 1860&ndash;1861 and the [[Waikato-Hauhau Māori War]] of 1863&ndash;1866. The Taranaki Māori War was fought over land rights on New Zealand's [[North Island]]. The local Colonial Governor had set up a policy whereby the British Government could buy local land, and anyone refusing to sell their land would be committing treason against the Crown. When the [[Te Atiawa]] refused to sell their land, the British Army attacked on 17 March 1860 starting the First Taranaki War. After a series of sieges by the British, a truce was signed with the Maori people in March 1861 where the disputed land became British-owned territory but it remained in possession of the Māori people.<ref>Arthur, Max; pp.98&ndash;99</ref> The First Taranaki War ended in a stalemate over the one area of disputed land. By 1863 the influx of settlers and consequent demand for land led to further conflict. In July 1863 the British Army and the Auckland Militia launched the [[Invasion of Waikato]] against the forces of [[Tāwhiao]] and the [[Māori King Movement]]. The British expelled the Māori people from their lands, swiftly moving South, culminating in the defeat and flight of Tāwhiao at Orakau in March 1864. The British pursued him across the country as far as the fourth Waikato defensive line which later became the border of [[King Country]].<ref>Arthur, Max; pp.102&ndash;103</ref>
