"Lieutenant C. C. Williams, 58th Regiment, who was killed in action 'fighting gallantly at the head of his men' at the battle of Zlobane, 22 March 1879
Aged just 23, Williams had led a party of some 250 warriors of Wood's Irregulars in the previous weeks - including the soldiers of loyal Zulu Prince uHamu, brother of King Cetshwayo
His remains were discovered eight weeks later and comprised just his skull, boots and a few bones remaining for internment"
