Joseph Halace Hulse was born at Overton, Cheshire, and enlisted into the 24th Foot at Liverpool on 11 November 1876. He served abroad in South Africa and India for 4 years 353 days and was discharged at Brecon on 15 November 1888. During the Zulu War he served with the Mounted Infantry company of the battalion and was with that portion of the column which had advanced from the camp at Isandhlwana, under the direct command of Lord Chelmsford, thereby avoiding the subsequent massacre that took place there.

Sold with research including further information on his service with the Mounted Infantry provided by the Regimental Museum.'

Definitely a 2nd Squadron individual, but with No. 1 Column with Pearson. Nice photo.

Right enough. But where did you get the photo from? Noonan's?

Yes its part of the sale along with information on his service with the IMI

Well, thank you for posting it.
I've searched for the Noonan's sale containing it but can't find it. If and when you have time, please post a link.
