Active Naval Brigade

Is there a list of the officers and men who formed Active's Naval Brigade in the 9th Frontier War and the Zulu War?

I have Fleet Surgeon Norwich's book on their activities, and while very informative about officers, doesn't have much to say about the other ranks that formed her Naval Brigade.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Rob,

The Royal Navy kept lists of men who were sent ashore to serve in the naval brigades, but so far I have not been able to find the ones that mention the enlisted men.

The Zulu War Medal Roll contains all the names of those who participated in the war with the Gaikas, Galekas and other tribes in 1877-78, and those who fought against the Zulu in 1879.

Give me a day and I will post a list of all officers and men of the brigade.

Petty Officer Tom

That's greatly appreciated!
