4th October 2003	Sgt Robert Maxfield (d.1879) at Rourkes Drift By Doug Murrie One of my wifes ancestors was Sgt Maxfield that died at Rourkes Drift. We are trying to accumulate as much information on him, his service and the battle. We know that he died in the hospital. If anyone has any information on him, or any photographs we would be greatly appreciated. Doug Murrie
