You are correct in identifying the 3rd Regiment of Foot. I don't think this regiment served in the New Zealand Land Wars but could be wrong. The second button is a Victorian General Service button, QVC/VR cypher. Where did you find them? Cheers, Tinto |

Hi Tinto
Thanks for the info. Yes i dont think they served in NZ either however i did see they were in Australia and during the NZ land wars we got a lot of soldiers from Australia coming over. so maybe he came over. its a small button They were found at a 1864 camp in nz, where i have found a multitude of relics. |
