This article examines the significant place of the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot as part of the shared history of Australia and New Zealand through the 1840s and 1850s, including its role in frontier conflict with Aboriginal peoples in Queensland and Māori peoples in New Zealand. This preliminary comparison explores the role and experiences of detachments of the British Army’s 99th Regiment on three different colonial frontiers during the 1840s transitional period: the end of convict transportation and the opening of free settlement in Moreton Bay in 1842–48; the short-lived North Australia colony (later Gladstone) in 1847; and New Zealand’s North Island in 1845–47.

1840 年代摩顿湾和新西兰边境战争中的红衣人

本文探讨了 1840 年代和 1850 年代作为澳大利亚和新西兰共同历史的一部分的第 99（拉纳克郡）步兵团的重要位置，包括其在与昆士兰土著人民和新西兰毛利人民的边境冲突中的作用。这个初步比较探讨了英国陆军第 99 团的分遣队在 1840 年代过渡时期在三个不同的殖民边界上的作用和经验：囚犯运输结束和 1842-48 年摩顿湾自由定居点的开放；1847 年短暂的北澳大利亚殖民地（后来的格莱斯顿）；以及 1845-47 年间的新西兰北岛。
