| I think there's a typo in the report - "1st Battalion of the 2/24th":
VEALE Joseph P – Private – 25B/1076 – 2nd/24th D Company Service details: Attested 15/1/1877 aged 19 years. Transferred from D to G Company at Rorke’s Drift, Natal, South Africa 31/1/1879.

| Kate Well, it's the right location (S. Shields). I reckon it's more likely he either enlisted under a false forename or the recruiting sergeant recorded it incorrectly. |

| "Faasands of em." His name reminds me of the German chap I knew who was stopped by police with a huge piece of fresh meat in his boot. When asked what it was he replied "It is my spare veal" |
