William Hicks; 2/Lieut Avery No. 2 Coy: Lieut. Francis J. Holcroft No. 3 Coy: No. 4 Coy: Lieut. John C. Sutherland No. 5 Coy: No. 6 Coy (AmaBele): Capt. Robert Krohn; Lieuts.

| Julian, why do you have Duncombe in #10? Lost Legionary, admittedly a slightly dubious source, lists #8. |

| That's a good question which I've been looking for the answer to. I have a feeling It might lie in Maxwell - I haven't found it yet but I'll continue to look. |
