18th September 2002	The Noble 24th - Look-up request By Justin I am hoping that someone with ready access to the Roll Call for Islanwana & Rorke's Drift by Julian Whybra or The Noble 24th by Norman Holme might be able to let me know the company that Private Eli Williams of the 2/24th served in? Or even if he is listen in either roll? Many thanks!

18th September 2002	Julian Whybra Private Eli Williams 2/24th was not present at either Rorke's Drift or Isandhlwana. Clive's suggestion that you contact Martin is a good one though he may not hold a record of his specific company. If he doesn't I'll look him up for you when next at the PRO.
