Hi Andy In the Earlier post it says James Lee survived isandlwana ? , I did find a J. Lee 1/ 24 th KIA Isandlwana , there were two J. Lee's in the 2/ 24th , one awarded the Medal with Clasp 1879 Regimental No 1773, the other a Non - Clasped Medal Regt No 2640 , just saw the non clasped medal was to a John Lee . Cheers 90th

The problem is with the reported subsequent service, in my opinion, alongside Colley at amaMajuba, then on to Egypt 1881-4. The only possible answer I can give is that he transferred to another regiment, and again in my opinion the only line regiment that fits the bill is the 3rd/60th. Although I don’t exclude a transfer to non-infantry supporting corps.
Where’s Kenny when need him?
