According to the "Noble 24th" there was a Pte J Dwight (1016) who was transferred from F to G Company (2/24th) at Rorke's Drift on 31/1/1879. He was therefore not one of the defenders of the Drift, nor on those left in Camp at Isandlwana. It was liklely he was with F Company (2/24) - Capt Church commanding - on the 22nd January 1879 that was part of Chelmsford's force.
