Lord Chelmsford Said .Buller is ‘one of the finest soldiers of the century’, so modest and reticent –that it was difficult to say for what individual deed he had got the Victoria Cross as he had been doing acts worthy of it all along the line

Subject: Lt A C Worlledge Wed Dec 30, 2015 7:13 pm
Hello everyone. New to this (my first post), so please excuse me if I don't follow the usual protocols, but I'll do my best!
I'm trying to track down a decent photo of Lt A C Worlledge from G Company, 2/24th. There is a photo in "Nothing Remains but to Fight" in which he is noted (page 40/41) - is he the officer sitting to the right (as we look at the photo) of the crossed swords?
Any ideas of other available photos? I can't find anything else.
Thanks for any help. Nick

Good evening, Just to confirm that the officer sitting to the right of the swords is captioned as Lieutenant A.C. Wortlege (Worlledge according to the Noble 24th). Maybe some of the more learned gentlemen on here may know of the were about of any other photos. He transferred to the Army Pay Department in 1886.

His entry in 'The Noble 24th' is incorrect - Alfred Cromwell Worlledge - should be Alfred Cranworth Worlledge. He died at Salisbury 24.12.1903. Newspaper reports at the time of his death suggest that he was at Ulundi in July 1879 but that could be incorrect. He married a local Brecon young lady - Annabella Mary Garnons Williams.
