Bonsoir à tous, I research information and photography of the trooper Fred SYMONS of the Natal Carbineers who was with CHELMSFORD on the 22 January 1879. I do like his journal (Symons papers / Talana Museum quoted in "Zulu Rising" by Ian Knight") Merci pour votre aide.

The Talana Museum sells the booklet: Anglo-Zulu War Diaries: Trooper Fred Symons, Natal Carbineers: Enthusiasm and Misgivings, 1879. by Mark Coghlan.
It may contain more information than that quoted by Ian Knight.

Bonjour Brett, The Talana Museum sells the booklet?!?! I did not know this information! (this booklet is not sold by Amazon, Abebook....) I am going to buy a copy!!! Thanks for this information. Do you know if a photograph of him is in this book? Cheers Frédéric
Unfortunately, there is no photograph of Symons in the book.
Regards Brett
Bonjour Brett, You can find a photograph of Fred SYMONS (with a group of others Carbineers) in "The Journal of the AZRS" (Chairman John Young) volume 3 issue n°2 p.29 (ed. 1995). "Experiences of a Natal Carbineer in the Zulu War" (part II). Photo Paul Naish Collection.
