| Hello, having recently coming across my late fathers military collection. I came across a Zulu medal along with a file of research for Pte it was awarded to. My father was an avid collector and spent hours researching etc, I'm no expert nor do I really know what I am looking for . I would really like to find out if Pte 515 J .White 2/24 was at the R.D? I have a file of research to decipher and if anyone could help me , that would be great. |

| The answer to your specific query, he was most likely out with Lord Chelmsford on 22/23 January 1879 when all the action took place, but then was based at RD with the rest of 2nd Battalion for the next 6 weeks. |

| Hi Probably the most authorative list of men at Rorkes Drift is in Julian Whybra's 'England Sons'. He has a JAS WHITE 25B/1132. C COMPANY 2/24TH On the plaque at Brecon Cathedral is a J.WHite KIA at iSandlwana. So in answer to your Question he was'nt at Rorkes Drift but died at iSandlwana. The Nobel 24th lists James White 25B 1132 Enlisted 3/2/1877 Served in C Company. No trace of a clim made for his effects. South Africa medal with clasp 1877-78-79 As your medal is now an iSandlwana named casualty the value would increase, I would imagine, quite dramatically.
I hope that helps.
Frank |

| Frank,
You might have confused matters - the query was about 25B/515 - an Irishman. Who was not at RD nor Isandlwana on 22/23 January 1879. |

Arrived at Casemate Barracks Gibraltar in the Mediterranean 13/1/1880 aboard H.M.S.Orontes and served there until 11/8/1880. Served in India 12/8/1880 – 10/2/1892. Home service 11/2/1892 – 8/1/1895. Discharged 8/1/1895 total service 21 years finishing up a lance-sergeant. Honours/awards: South Africa Medal with clasp 1877-8-9 and probably the IGS and LSGC too.
