Certainly 2-24/2067 Dmr Patrick Hayes was at the defence of Rorke's Drift - not a boy but a man aged 25 with 11 years service. His service details are listed in The Noble 24th by Norman Holme = see online shop. His campaign medal is in the museum collect. If you wish further information contact us direct. |
