In Bosleys forth coming auction Sep 13 th there is a Zulu war medal up for auction estimated price �300 - �500 the medal belonged to Pte R Kernick 1st 24th Regiment with 1879 clasp but on his medal roll it say's with 32nd Regiment. I must assume that he joined the 24th after the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift no doubt to make up the numbers after their great loss at Isandlwana.
This reflecting on the small estimated value

25B/1836 Richard Kernick joined after Isandlwana - came out on the Clyde - originally 41st Foot. Who he joined or whether he stayed when 1/24th returned to UK I do not know.
