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.
