Kate,

John Mather was the Chief Engineer aboard HMS Himalaya and was awarded the South Africa Medal without clasp for service in the 9th Cape Frontier Wars for the period 9 March 1878 to 15 March 1878, but not for the Zulu War.

Hi All,
A John Richardson Mather Enginneer RN was aboard HMTS Orontes during the Zulu War on medal roll, He joined the ship on12 April 1879 but was dismissed from the service on 18 July 1879 for Drunkedness.
He was born in 1845 London, married Elizabeth 3 kids, 1881 census address Poplar London. He dies in 1889 Whitechapel London District.
I do not think these are the same person.
