| M.H. it was drawn by John North Crealock who was a talented artist as were most of the officer class of the time. a compilation of his sketches were brought together in the 1979 centenary celebration by Ronald Brown. the odd copy can still be found but its a bit pricey. cheers xhosa |

| Open question to anyone interested.
What if any was the relationship between Lt. General Julius Richard Glyn CB Rifle Brigade to the ill fated Col. Richard Thomas Glyn CB of the 24th. I don't know! and I'm still trying to find the link if any.
I have an early pic of JRGlyn in Canada with Ernest Henry Buller and just wondered if the Bullers and Glyn families had any ties. I am endeavoring to discover why Chelmsford chose EHB as his ADC other than they were both RB colleagues as far as I can discover did not serve at the same time. |

| Thanks for that background. I just have to see if he's related to the other Glyn of the R . Brigade or maybe their surnames were just a coincidence? |

| Good afternoon Springbok9 and Xhosa. That photo is of Bishop McKenzie's house and 'college', together with St Vincent's. Believe it or not, the village around Isandlwana has only sprung up in the last 40 years of so. When I first visited it in the 1960s, we were allowed to stop at the battlefield without applying for a permit to enter a "Bantu" area providing we didn't wander off into the country side! Regards, Ken |

| Yes good afternoon, its an interesting image. probably taken in the 80's or 90's..which would still leave the battlefield relatively un- touched. looking at google earth now! i see what you mean about your early experience's in the 60's.your a lucky man to have walked there, then. |

| Ken, Aren't there too many buildings in the Gibson photograph? Here's what Saint Vincent's & the Bishop's house looked like just after completion. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Saint Vincent's & the Bishop's House. 1882 Pictorial WorldJohn Young Collection.John Y. |

| I know Littlehand posted a copy of this photograph back in 2014, and there was some uncertainty about the sitter’s identity. I hope that this inscribed version of the photograph actually clarifies the matter. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Captain Ernest Buller, Rifle Brigade.
