but i may be wrong? It does look a bit like Anstey. Isn't that Paymaster White in the back row in the hat that looks rather clerical? What is the photo and where was it taken? Any other recognisable Isandlwana casualties in it? |

| I haven't checked ages but I seem to recall Anstey was pretty young at Isandhlwautf- so perhaps 1872 would be too early a date for him in the 24th?

| Hi
Anstey was gazetted Sub-Lieutenant on 9th March 1872.

| The photo is part of the Ron Sheeley collection. Due credits to him. It was taken in Malta at the beginning of 1870s It apears in Like Wolves to the Fold. Col Snook identifies a lot of the people present but not that particular person. Upsher on the left with hand on hip Porteous standing third from left Wardell standing 5th from left Harrison standing 8th from left White standing wearing the civilian hat. Henry Degacher seated arms folded Glyn seated to his left Dunbar seated 2 down from Glynn Mostyn third from left on the ground.
Does look like Anstey though.

| Impi, No magic software. I have this photo. Sadly it was matted and part of a scrapbook with numbers written on it for each man.(no names anywhere though) Then some genius applied a lacquer or glue like coating. O’ well, you take what you can get sometimes.
Cheers, Jeff |
