Hi Littlehand, Where does this info come from According to Burke's Peerage the 2nd Baronet Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge b,1778 d.17 Oct 1849. He did not serve in the Zulu War. However you could be confused with Edward Lethbridge 90 Rgt b.1846 d.1894 who did serve in South Africa 1879. Rai Keynshamlighthorse
