10th April 2005	Martin Everett Peter, I regret the muster rolls of the individual companies of the 1/24th have not survived. All I can you he was not one of those station on St Helena with Wardell and Cavaye in 1876-77.
11th April 2005	Julian whybra Peter Martin is quite correct. This means that he was not in Wardell's H coy.
