| Hi All,
Cannot find any military records before the First World War, when he joined the Camerons, later he was transferred to the Labour Corps as a acting Captain. He died in April 1937 and is buried in Newton Abbot Cemetery, Devon.

| Hi All
The article refers to him being a member of the Cape mounted Police and fought in the Zulu war. This would suggest that he did not serve in the ZULU WARS 1877-78-79 as the Cape mounted Police were not formed until 1882.
I have looked at the Natal Mounted Police during the Zulu war. There was a J H T Robinson that was a member of Sir Garnet Wolesley's Escort July 1879. Search Natal Mounted police on Facebook, you will find it.

| Eddie,
According to the late Terry Sole’s research:
ROBINSON J H T From Hadleigh, Suffolk. Attested 10/06/1879. Age 18. Discharged 30/11/1886.
Given his period of service with the Natal Mounted Police, it does not correspond with the alleged military service of this subject.
Just my thoughts.

| Hi John
Of course, that's what I was referring to. I was highlighting the fact that there was only one Robinson in any Mounted Police unit.
I was not referring him to the subject in the article, just pointing out that there was only one. |
