3rd January 200524th Regiment Photo Enquiry
By RMURPHY
Greetings and Happy New Year,

I am writing to ask whether any Regimental photos exist from this period.

My Gt. Gt. Grandfather served with 1st Bn. from 1872 to 1879. Having searched the Muster Rolls at Kew, I was able to trace their posting .. Gibraltar, St Helena, Natal, etc.

He was not killed at Isandlwhana, nor was he present at Rorke's Drift - as his enlistment papers state his trade to have been 'Groom', I assume he could have been at Helpmakaar.

Itt would be great to have a print of any such pictures.


Thanks for any assistance.
