I have come across several individual references ro the erection of blue plaques to indicate where individuals lived with links to the Zulu war. is there a definitive list anywhere?
The plaques I have come across are:-
Cetshwayo - 18 Melbury Road W14 William Cooper - 6 Cranmer Road Worthing. Frederick Hitch - 62 Cranbrook Road London
I am sure there must be others.

Thanks everyone for adding to the list. If there are any more please feel free to add to the above.
There is a link to Frederick Hitch's blue plaque at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
There is one for Ivor Rees [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] but we only really collect the ones that mark where something happened (like 'born here', 'lived here', etc.)
I'd be interested if anyone has photographic evidence of a plaque to John Chard in Rochester Kent.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] says there is one for Thomas Collins in Pelcomb but I can't pinpoint the exact location
