| Has there ever been an England's Sons, Noble 24th or Silver Wreath type publication for Intombi or Hlobane?
It might be difficult with the latter because a majority of the soldiers were 'colonial' and the info may not be readily available |

| I suggest you look at John Young's They Fell like Stones. |

| I could also suggest you look at my Studies in the Zulu War vol. II re Intombi/Khambula. The notes for the Anglo-Zulu War Memorial in Lichfield essay pp. 33-40 contain much biographical information on the men of the 80th Regt., including those missed by or incorrectly recorded in other works.

| Thank you,
I was going to pop into Whittington Barracks museum, next time I was in Lichfield (its only about 40 minutes away)
I'd got it into my head that TFLS was only about Isandlwana. |

It might be difficult with the latter because a majority of the soldiers were 'colonial' and the info may not be readily available Robert Hope published two excellent books: The Zulu War and the 80th Regiment and Colours, Battle Honours and Medals of a Staffordshire Regiment. The first will probably cover the details you seek for Myers Drift. For Hlobane, perhaps speak to Cam Simpson as I know he is likely the man when it comes to irregulars records. |

| Sime Yes Robert Hope's book is excellent for studies of the 80th at Intombi , the second edition is the better book it runs to 384 pages the 1st edition is only 192 . The Title you want is ' A Staffordshire Regiment In The Zulu & Sekunkuni Campaigns 1878-1879. 90th |

| Thanks a lot - it wasn't until I was searching through the forum, that I found I had asked the same question in 2017 and completely forgot about it |
