| Get your wallets out lads. Fieldings Auctioneers [Stourbridge] are auctioning the campaign medal for this Rorke's Drift defender. Good luck!!!!!! |

| Here is a better picture. Looks good and will go for a lot more I suspect. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Steve |

| very interesting - the last defenders I have seen was sold by Stanley Gibbons at £35k having been bought at auction for £27k, Given the crazy pricing for SAGS atm along with the new deep pocket investor on the scene - I would expect to see a hammer price north of £30k.
I mentioned the auction in passing to Mrs D and potential pricing .
She said she would leave me if I bid on the medal ..
Gonna miss that woman!! |

| See Kris Wheatley volume 3 for his biog. It is so frustrating that he is probably in the famous picture on the grassy bank but we do not know what he looked like.

| I've noticed the Medal is up for Auction , tend to agree with the consensus that it will be higher than thought , although I know an Isandlwana Casualty was sold in the last fortnight for only 7K ! , they , or at least some , were from memory 8.5 and closer to 9 k , nearly a year or so ago ! .

| "Private Bromwich’s elder brother, Charles, also fought at the battle." Didn't know that!!!! See something new. But not on the Roll of those present at Rorke's Drift

There is a lot of evidence saying Charles wasn't at RD with his brother , read England's Sons' p73 by JW . Charles was at RD at some stage , but no supporting HARD evidence that he was there on the 22 - 23rd Jan .
