"FARNHAM Town and District Jottings. Mr H. Parker of 9 Park Road, an ex sergeant of the 24th Foot who is a survivor of the Rorke's Drift episode in the Zulu war is in hospital as the result of a fall. He is 81."

West Sussex Gazette - Thursday 29 January 1925

This could be either 1056 Henry Parker 1/24th 1877-78-79 clasp or 1722 H Parker 2/24th 1879 clasp.
Neither, to the best of my knowledge, being at RD
