Can anyone confirm. William BOTTERILL was the last Zulu War Veteran to die in Durban, 1957. He was also Sir George White's batman. I sent an e-mail to a Kathryn Bax Who posted this on another forum in 2004. No reply....??

Hi Littlehand
In D.R. Forsyth's Medal Roll, he is listed as Private W Bothrell, 58th Regiment.
Having looked on the 58th Regiment Medal Roll, you can see how the mistake has happened.
