If he died aged 29 in 1915 he wasn't Born until 1886 ? , 7 yrs after the Zulu War ! , pretty safe to say he wasn't there ? Joker

No worries Gary.
I'm struggling here as well at the moment with a stinking head cold.
Feels like the band of the Grenadier Guards thumping through my head at the moment.
