Arthur W. Buckingham did serve in the Royal Marines with the Portsmouth Division. In 1879 he served aboard HMS St. Vincent and at the Portsmouth Division barracks. It wasn't until February 1880 that he was assigned to HMS Orontes, but he only remained aboard until March of that year. His name is not on the Medal Roll for the Zulu War.
