Found this obituary online:

MR JOHN C. KENYON
The death has occurred at Geelong of Mr John Charles Kenyon, 86, a veteran of the Zulu war, Boer war, and 1914-18 war. Mr Kenyon, who was also an ex-member of the Royal Navy, lived at Wallace place, South Geelong. (The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848-1954), Tuesday 20 March 1945, page 3.)

He is not on my copy of the Medal Roll for the Zulu War, but I am missing one page for HMS Orontes, and the name Kenyon would fit right there.

Anyone know who he is?
