On Active Service. Zuluwar —. Late 24th Regt.
Lloyd had served with the South Wales Borderers in the Zulu War,1879,and had had some of his sketches published in the ILN, his letters are quoted by Atkinson in the South Wales Borderers Regimental History. On leaving the Army in1882 he worked as an illustrator and had somesuccess with a number of chromolithographically illustrated books drawing on his service.The images here relate to both Africa and the North West Frontier and generally have a slightly humorous slant, but always with a realistic edge.

Doe's anyone have this book. Must admit, i did not know Lieutenant William Whitelocke Lloyd, served in the 24th Regiment of Foot during the war. So the book will show the events how he saw them. As CTSG would say based on fact....

Hi Dave . I have just spent over an hour trying to locate this book . I did find two copies , one at the Royal Regt Of Wales on-line shop for 100 quid . Another from a shop in Sth Africa which was a lot more expensive . It isnt for sale at any of my normal haunts which makes me think ............ Christmas is coming and I have been a good boy ! If I'm not mistaken it's a heavy large book , so postage from the RRW museum shop to Australia will be high . So may strike out at Christmas as well . cheers 90th.

hi Dave. Forgot to mention I saw another copy quoted as a DE- LUXE copy at the Anglo Zulu War Historical Society .................... Wait for it ...................... 850 Pds. . I have checked all the Ebay sites and nothing . So I think if you want a copy you will be looking at the RRW on-line shop , as I said I'm fairly certain it's a heavy book , so postage mightn't be cheap in the U.K either . I suppose you can send the shop an email about the postage , at least you will know what your up for . My only advice is make sure you are sitting when you read the reply . :lol!: :lol!: :lol!: cheers 90th.

Hi Dave. Surely you will be better off than me . I just checked through my old email folder and found an email from the RRW on-line shop stating that it's ' A very weighty book ' and Air Mail to Aust is 30 Pds ! , Surface mail 8-10 weeks 15 Pds That email was dated 2008 . I may be up for more nowadays . . cheers 90th.
