Took this yesterday whilst wandering around work [Auckland War Memorial Museum]
In May 1868 a replacement Victoria Cross was sent to the GOC Melbourne for forwarding to McKenna whose original had been stolen. This VC now resides in the Auckland [War Memorial] Museum. The original VC has never been recovered. ( McKenna's VC action took place in New Zealand, on 7 September 1863 ) [1]
Edward was born in Leeds [England] of Irish parents 15 February 1827 [3]. He joined the 65th Regiment and served in New Zealand as a non-commissioned officer. He was awarded the Cross and his commission as ensign for his conduct at the attack on Alexandra redoubt in 1863. He joined the Railway Department in 1867. [2]
