| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Lieutenant Harford of the Natal Native Contingent has been covered elsewhere on this forum and his interest in the natural sciences is well documented. Perhaps not as well known as a naturalist was a member of the Commissariat during the Zulu War, P G Furse. This link came to light many years ago while I was Editor of the South African Museum’s magazine, Sagittarius, and it became the subject of a ‘From the Archives’ contribution to this magazine. Does anyone know what became of Furse and his shell collection? Photo and text by Forum Member Brett Hendey |
