Private J W Moulton of the 6th Cyclist Platoon, 8th Division, was the son of William Moulton who served in the Zulu War. John was one of three brothers and three sisters. One brother, called Frank was killed in the war in 1917. Another sister died quite young. Also another sister I believe she was called Clara married a Thomas Jones of Liverpool. This Thomas Jones served on the Titanic and survived the disaster. He saved the Countess of Rothes and was presented with an inscribed pocket watch which sold a few years ago for £40,000. I hope these tibits interest you." They certainly do!

Interesting story but does anyone know what regiment his father served in during the Zulu War.

Hi Littlehand

William Moulton was a Private in the 58th (Rutlandshire) Regiment of Foot, during the Zulu War.
