I'm about halfway through your book so far.

I have a vested interest in the boys at Isandlwana and have examined the role for names and ages of boys present. I had come to the conclusion there were only two boys in the 2/24 namely Gordon and McEwan, but on page 135, you mention three boy bandsmen in addition to the two boy drummers. Who were these boy bandsmen?

The only other possibility is Private Gurney who is supposed to have enlisted 20/12/1877 age 15 years.

Thanks for the private message.

I have replied but I notice it is sitting in the 'outbox' instead of the 'sentbox' so an SOS has gone to Peter.

Hopefully you will get it eventually. Confused
