Matt,

Whether there are any Welshmen in the group I could not say with any certainty.
The officer in the group, seated on a stump or stall is Captain Farquhar Glennie,
of the reconstituted G Company 2nd/24th. Glennie was born in London. He was part of
the reinforcement sent out after Isandlwana. He was in the U.K. at the time of both
Isandlwana and Rorke�s Drift recuperating from a wound sustained in the 9th Cape Frontier War.

The bearded Colour-Sergeant, seated bottom left, cradling his Martini-Henry in the crook
of his arm is 430 A. Ross, I no details about where he was from though.

So as to the text on Pininterest like so many things on there it is best forgotten.

Regards,

JY
