| Frédéric, As promised one of my birthday presents: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The somewhat disorderly Orderly Room of the 90th L.I. circa 1873 John Young Collection.The shorter officer standing at the centre of the table is Captain (later Lt.-Colonel) William Rennie, V.C., who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 21st & 25th September 1857 at Lucknow, during Sepoy Mutiny. Thus far I have identified two officers who served in Zululand: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Joseph Henry Laye. Lieutenant & Adjutant 90th L.I. in 1873. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Apsley Cherry. Captain 90th L.I. in 1873. I'd welcome any other suggestions as to the other officers' identities, if anyone has any? John Y.

| Littlehand,
No Cherry isn't in the Dover photograph, that is why I wanted the other photograph. Cherry had the Mutiny Medal, the figure you have pointed out doesn't have a medal.
Regards,
John Y. |

| 90th,
22nd November 2003 Telstra Stadium surely even you as non-rugby man remember that one?
Or the British & Irish Lions on 6th July 2013 at ANZ Stadium?
Enough, now back on topic.
There are three, maybe four, officers in the Orderly Room photograph unidentified.
The officer behind Laye has at least one, possibly two medals up. I would venture that might be Capt. Randall Ironside Ward, who served in the Royal Navy in the Crimean War. British Medal and the Turkish Medal.
The officer standing behind Cherry's right shoulder may be Lt. Welby, which would make him and Laye, the only ones to appear in both photographs.
That leaves four other officers unaccounted for: Lieutenants F. R. Harvey & E. Lethbridge; Sub-Lt's. W. Hutchinson & W. Hawley. Anyone got any of their photographs to compare?
John Y.

| Hi JY This will test me !!!!!! , Telstra Stadium Nov 22 2003 , was that the Field Goal in the last 30 secs by Wilson or a similar name , was he Captain ? . If so I watched that game , was it also the W.Cup ?? . That's about my ability I'm afraid with Rugby  . I do watch Melb Storm in the NRL on TV occasion . Sorry for the off topic . Cheers 90th . |

| Andy,
Look at the close-up of Laye and the Bugler, there’s an officer behind Laye with at least one medal ribbon up. I surmise that might be Ward.
