| From memory Dickety was the one who was blamed or instrumental in the alarm at Fort Newdigate ( Ft Funk ) , which I think nearly resulted in Chard V.C. nearly being shot !! , Chard and his men were forced to take cover behind a rock wall ? 90th  |

| Gary,
Wrong “friendly-fire” incident. Colour-Sergeant Dickaty was in charge of the piquets that opened fire on John Dunn’s Scouts, believing them to be members of the Zulu army.
A number of John Dunn’s people were killed and wounded. Off the top of my head John Dunn screamed out words to the effect “You are killing my children!”
Nice and sunny in Cape Town!
