A rather expensive album of watercolours by Dr Doyle Glanville turned up for sale. He was a medical officer in the AZW. No pictures of our war, but an interesting commentary. Not clear whether he was with Chelmsford or Bengough or what?.

Hi Gary/ Frederic

I will leave it to you wealthy colonials!

Here is Glanville from the Graphic. I hadn't really realised that the civil surgeons had uniforms.

Just come across a death notice for Dr. Glanville in The West Sussex Journal from March 18 1879, so it certainly appears that his family were initially under the impression that he'd been killed at Isandlwana:

"On the 22nd Jan., killed at the battle of Isandula, in Zululand, Usher G. Doyle Glanville, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., dearly loved and only son of William G. Glanville, of Brighton, aged 34"
