| 1879Graves. Spend sometime on this chap. Can't find anything. Only what the others have found. What was your source.
He looks similar to Dunn. |

Your man is Robert St. Leger Attwell, born 11 Feb 1849, Victoria East, Cape Colony, South Africa; died 1907, Benoni, Transvaal, South Africa.
I found a snippet of a book "From Manifesto to Trial", on Google Books, with the following:
"Robert St. Leger Attwell was next called. The State Attorney : ... Attwell, are you, or were you, Colonel of the Africander Brigade '. Witness : I do not remember being Colonel of any corpis of that name. Well, any other corps ? ..."
That's all I could read. I don't have access to the actual book. Maybe someone out there is familiar with the book. I think it had something to do with Jameson's Raid.
I didn't see anything about the Zulu War.
Good Luck
Petty Officer Tom

I wonder what he was trying to hide. |
