The only reference I can find is that below: Unnumbered General Order, 7th June 1879, Natal Witness, 12th June 1879. 1. The Maritzburg Troop and the Durban Troop to be formed into one Squadron, and attached to the Frontier Light Horse. ... 3. Payment of this Squadron will be undertaken by the Paymaster of the Frontier Light Horse (Mr Howard Hutton), who is granted the rank of Captain. KIS |

Keith,
Thanks for the help on this one. 'Howard" at least provides me with a strong lead on this one. I've just noticed your book for sale in Wales which I'll order without delay. It will be an asset to my library. Cam. |

Cam,
Hutton's New Zealand service is mentioned in the 1887 book Defenders of New Zealand, I have an original photograph of him wearing his both of his medals, the same image is used in the book. I have a photocopy of his journal for the period 1878-79, sadly, I can't trace the current owner of the original, as it would make most interesting reading. John Y. |

John,
Thanks for the reply and the tip in relation to Captain Hutton featuring in Defenders of New Zealand. Many years ago I can recall seeing a copy of this in the Victorian State Library....I'll pursue it with haste. I may even have a copy of the nominal roll somewhere? Cam. |
