Lieutenant John Chard: What's our strength? Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Seven officers including surgeon, commissaries and so on; Adendorff now I suppose; wounded and sick 36, fit for duty 97 and about 40 native levies. Not much of an army for you.

Hi All. Someone asked a while back what uniforms did the troops wear that transferred to differant Regiments , well I can say that in the case of the 91st Regt , those who transferred to them , were indeed issued the 91st Regimental uniform before disembarking the troopship Pretoria in Sth Africa . Cheers 90th.

Oh Skippy ,I forgot, the question is rather whether the soldiers of the 91st have brought their blankets? They were rolled into banderole at the battle of Gingindlovu ...?
