Andy,
Was the book actually published? In the piece I found it mentioned the author had died before the work came to fruition.

Yes - it is a superb book detailing the Masonic winners of the Victoria Cross and George Cross. I can source contact details over the weekend if you are interested. It goes on to list others from the Zulu Wars as well (Buller & Lord Beresford) to name a couple.

Pity that they did not get much chance to shake hands with any Zulu masons. Sorry, couldn't resist it! |

Thank you Mike,
I believe some of mutilations at Isandlwana depended on the degree of the victim!

And would explain why Melvill and Coghill's trouser legs were rolled up...... nothing to do with going wading.....
