27th May 2005	Soldier at Rorke's Drift or not? By Steve Lockhart Some time ago I was toldthat there was possibly a soldier at Rorke's Drift by the name of Lockhart. He supposedly survived the campaign, and on his death was buried in a paupers grave in Manchester. Has anybody any information that can confirm this one way or the other. Thanks Steve Lockhart
