I have him as no.1857.

According to Norman Holmes, in the 'The Noble 24th', Robert Norris was born in Liverpool and enlisted on 21/2/1877 at the age of 19. He seems to have had a checkered career in the army and was in and out of hospital. Decorum prevents me from stating his affliction. He was discharged from service on 16/7/1889. He served in South Africa, Mediterranean and India then served at home from 30/05/1878 until his discharge.

Is that what you were looking for?

I have him as no. 1857 as well although he is on a few websites as 1257. The same kind of websites that seem to have promoted Cavaye to Captain. Rolling Eyes
