7th July 2003	Martin Everett Dear Joseph, Only one War in 1879. Clifton looks to be a replacement who volunteered to serve in the 24th after the losses at Isandhlwana. Would have joined 1/24th at Dundee on 4 May. You could see where his service papers have survived in the National Archives at Kew. I expect he returned to his original regiment when the 1/24th returned to UK in September 1879.
7th July 2003	Joseph Martin, Thank you for your help! Of course there was only one Zulu War... just a little typo on my end. Joseph
