The Nelson Battalion of Militia was a short-lived military unit of settlers, formed 12 August 1845 under the terms of the Militia Act of 1845. It was part of the New Zealand Wars. This made the Nelson Battalion of Militia the first Army unit to be formed in the South Island and indeed one of the first in New Zealand. The 2nd Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment celebrates 12 August 1845 as the beginning of its preceding units.
