| Regimental Order , 26th November , 1878 . The Corps being ordered out by his Excellency the Lt - Governor , members will parade in heavy marching order on the Market Square at 9 am on Friday 29th Inst . Theo. Shepstone , Jnr ; Captain Commanding N.C ' Of the 60 who mustered at this order , Matterson was one of them . From ' For God , Queen & Colony ' by Terry Sole , Matterson , Arthur . Injured , date unknown . On his way from Helpmekaar to Maritzburg with several other Carbineers , and whilst on the road between there and Greytown his horse stumbled , fell and rolled over him , the result being a broken collarbone besides severe bruises . He was taken on to Greytown On the 20th Jan the Regt , now reduced to 57 men , advanced with the 3rd Column to their new camp site , under the peak of a strange looking hill to the east , called Isandlwana . The regt had been reduced by the Hospitilisation of Matterson , Farrier Sgt Hill and Trpr Rock had for one reason or another left the regt and returned to Maritzburg . Certainly they were 3 lucky lads ! . 90th |

| He was injured round about the 18th March 1879 as that is when the story broke in the Natal Witness |

| Hi Kate Not sure if the Witness was up to speed , my post from 10 yrs ago implies the strength of the Carbineers was reduced by 3 before Isandlwana , due to Matterson and two others being injured before Isandlwana ? . 90th |
