Notes Auckland Rifle Volunteers military sash believed to be associated with Sergeant Robert Coombes, Auckland Rifle Volunteers (4 Coy). Note that, although Seregt Coombes did serve during the Waikato Campaigns the buttons on the red tunic date from a later period. Robert Coombes joined No 4 (City) Coy of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers in the early 1860s, with the rank of Sergeant. He was under fire at both engagements at Wairoa in September 1863, and was awarded the New Zealand medal (one of 108 awarded to the Auckland Rifle Volunteers) on 4 November 1873. He is also listed (R Stowers) as having served during the Waikato Campaign with the Auckland Militia. Robert Coombes is noted on the Auckland District Highway Roll as having 4 acres of land in Howick. This may have referred to his military land grant, however, a Robert Coombes is also recorded on the 1849 Auckland Jury List as- Robert Coombes, Carpenter, Howick, and is also recorded in 'The New Zealander's' list of voters (1858) as - Robert Coombes, Carpenter, Waiheki (sic).
