Kate,

I find no record of any Surgeon named Jolly on the Royal Navy's Medal Roll for the Zulu War. The name Jolly does not appear among those of Surgeons on the Navy Lists.

Dr. Robert William Jolly, Civilian Doctor - Army Medical Department.

See page 368 The South African Campaign of 1879.

This is the bit that might have caused the confusion, he departed South Africa on H.M.S. Euphrates on 16th August 1879. Medal with clasp 1878-9. Reference source The Rorke’s Drift Doctor by Lee Stevenson.
