| Bonsoir à tous,
I research information and photography of the trooper Fred SYMONS of the Natal Carbineers who was with CHELMSFORD on the 22 January 1879.
I do like his journal (Symons papers / Talana Museum quoted in "Zulu Rising" by Ian Knight")
Merci pour votre aide.
Cheers.

The Talana Museum sells the booklet:
Anglo-Zulu War Diaries: Trooper Fred Symons, Natal Carbineers: Enthusiasm and Misgivings, 1879.
by Mark Coghlan.
It may contain more information than that quoted by Ian Knight.
