Does anyone know what officer he would have been under. And where would Harman have been during the battle.

I regret the muster rolls of the individual companies of the 1/24th have not survived. All I can you he was not one of those station on St Helena with Wardell and Cavaye in 1876-77. | 11th April 2005 | Julian whybra Peter
Martin is quite correct. This means that he was not in Wardell's H coy. | 11th April 2005 | Peter Harman Was Harman not mentioned in the Noble 24th.
I Do not have this book,but I dare say someone will | 11th April 2005 | Julian whybra Harman john 1-24/678 Prvate
Number on Muster roll 946. Effects recorded for claim by next of kin. S Africa Medal with clasp 1879. | 11th April 2005 | Martin Everett Julian,
Another illustration of the issue of an incorrect clasp, perhaps. |
