Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a list of men who served in the 80th Regiment (Zulu war) on the internet any where?

Thanks

I see your problem, as the 80th were not entitled to the 1977-8-9 clasp. The book below includes the roll for that clasp only, so the 80th will not be included. Will come back if I have any luck.

Hi Chrispacket .
DB14 is sort of correct , the book is titled '' A Staffordshire Regt in the zulu & Sekukuni campaigns 1878- 79.
It gives you the medal roll . Tasker is also sort of correct , the clasps that were awarded to the 80th were either
1878 , 1878-79 or 1879 .
cheers 90th. You need to study mo

Thanks all,

I went to The Public Records Office years ago with Bob Hope, a real nice bloke, have'nt seen him in years... I'm going into the Staffs museum on Thursday, I will have a look at the book there, and may get it from Amazon... Does anyone know if Bob (Robert Hope) is still active... would love to speak to him again
