| I take It KIA telegrams were sent, to the families of those killed During the Zulu War. Or did this practise only come-out during WW1. If they were sent during the Anglo Zulu War. Does anyone have an image or a link to one. |

| Hi Littlehand. We may have discussed this previously and I'm fairly certain there were NO Telegrams issued to the families of those KIA in the Zulu War . I think it may have been the Newspapers that issued casualty lists ? . Happy to be corrected . Cheers 90th. |

| Hi LH
90th is correct, the lists were published in the newspapers.

| Home page video. " Secrets of the Dead" A trunk is opened,containing letters, medals, newpaper articals. One of the letters is read out by the narrative, it's a letter from the deceased person's officer,who had written that the person had been KIA 22nd Jan 1879. So I guess there was a sort of telegram service back in those days. Watch the video let me know your thoughts.
I think it's Ian Knight discussing " Coopers" belongings. |

| I think your right Impi. He also states that many of the same letters were sent! However there were a lot of blanks in the letter, but at least an effort to let relatives know was made! |
