Littlehand .
The only H.Stapleton I found from the Forsyth Roll was ; Stapleton , H . 1st Kings Dragoon Guards 1416 , Medal with Clasp 1879
This may be your man but as he's a private I'm not so sure !!! . No other Stapleton in the Cavalry Rolls , also according to your sauce Ulundi was fought in 1880 ! . Not overly convinced on '' The Peerage's Information '' .
Cheers 90th. Shocked

Hi John

I have seen that too.

The problem I have is his full name.

If it is Henry Stapleton then I cannot find him on any Army List.

I need to find out who the 9th Lord Beaumont was or his full name.

There are many reports that the 9th Lord Beaumont took part in the Zulu War.

Salute

And some more:

"Henry Stapleton, 9th baron Beaumont, went to Oxford at a time when the Catholic revival was taking place. This may have inspired manic building and rebuilding of the house, the finance for which came from selling large parts of the estate. He had a military career during the Zulu Wars and commanded the 20th Hussars. He married Violet Wooton Isaacson, but there were no children and he died from pneumonia in 1892. The correspondence of both Henry and Violet Stapleton is in the archive. Carlton transferred, on his death, to his brother Miles Stapleton, who married Mary Ethel Tempest, daughter and sole heiress of Charles Henry Tempest, only a year later. In 1895 he was killed in a shooting accident, leaving his daughter, Mona Josephine Tempest, as the sole heir to the Carlton estates of the Stapleton family and the Bolton estates of the Tempest family. As the barony could pass through the female line, Mona Josephine Tempest Stapleton became Baroness Beaumont in her own right and in 1914 she married Bernard Edward, 3rd Baron Howard of Glossop, and great grandson of the 13th Duke of Norfolk. Their eldest son, Miles Francis Stapleton Fitzalan Howard is 12th Baron Beaumont and 4th Lord Howard of Glossop and in 1975 he succeeded his cousin as 17th Duke of Norfolk. He is the current owner of the papers of the Stapleton, Errington and Tempest families (Robinson, Carlton Towers"

Hi John

Something is not adding up here or I have had too much wine tonight :p;:

I have also read that he was killed by a cab in 1892.

This is a good puzzle Salute
