Lieutenant John Chard: What's our strength? Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Seven officers including surgeon, commissaries and so on; Adendorff now I suppose; wounded and sick 36, fit for duty 97 and about 40 native levies. Not much of an army for you.

Bonsoir, It seems to me that the photography posted by the member "Nthornton" has been published in the Natal Mercury (and maybe in other Natal newspapers / duplicata).
There is a quote in "England's sons" by Julian Whybra about a photography of Stevens: "... Natal Mercury, 15th July 1929 (front row, left)".
There is the same quote in "England's sons" about Sparks ("front row, centre").
I didn't find B. Cooper (NMP) in the list of the survivors of Isandhlwana in "England's sons".
Cheers

163 Trooper B Cooper enlisted in the NMP on 20/1/1877, and was a member of the escort for Sir Garnet Wolseley's expedition into Zululand. He was not part of the Central Column's NMP detachment involved at Isandlwana.
