Yes I have heard of these letters coming to light.
It will be interesting when they are released.
And to think he wrote them letter at that time.
Who I cannot say yet.
Do you know dave

Yes Alan I do Know.
And yes he would have had time to write those letters.I have read nothing to suggest he dis-liked Chard.Anyway lets wait and see what the letters say.
Then we can discuss it on this web site.

Was the boar with him.Or did he stay.
Some would say they were together.
Did they both return or was it just one.
Or
did one return and the other run.
And did they meet after 1879.I bet they did.
The truth always comes to light.

Thank you for your comment.
When I saw a reply I thought it would be construtive I was wrong.
Do you enjoy stamp collecting or Train Spotting.

It's possible Lt. Chard was 2.5 miles from Rorkers Drift at the start of the battle - given that he was at a place called RORKE'S DRIFT when the battle commenced. Is there another drift called "Rorkers" some 2.5 miles from the site of the battle??
