Hi PO Tom,
There may well have been more than one Pearse/Pearce.
However, the one I am have in mind was alive and detailed to the Princess Eugenie escort duty, post Isandhlwana.

| Hi All. I have posted the reason why Pearce returned , He went back to his tent to change bits ( Horse ) from a Snaffle to a regulation bit . I also posted his Christian Names in my earlier post . Those who maybe confused go back to the start of the thread and take it from there .  cheers 90th. |
