Waihī Redoubt was established on the hill south-west of Waihī Cemetery in September 1866. It was used as the advanced quarters of the colonial force in their south Taranaki campaigns. The post was temporarily abandoned after the decisive defeat at Te Ngutu o te Manu on 7 September 1868. It was rebuilt in 1869 and sheltered various forces, including the Armed Constabulary, until the 1880s. The Waihī cairn commemorates incidents that occurred during the garrisoning of the first redoubt. Ngāti Ruanui military leader Riwha Tītokowaru employed ambush and raid tactics against the colonial forces. Sawyers David Cahill, William Clarke (Clark) and Thomas Squires were killed near the Waingongoro River at the beginning of Tītokowaru’s campaign on 9 June 1868. Three days later Trooper Smith was ambushed within sight of Waihī Redoubt while searching for his horse. Captain Frederick James Ross and nine other men were killed during a raid on Turuturumōkai Redoubt on 12 July 1868. All of these men are buried in Waihī Cemetery and their names are recorded on the cairn.
