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

Hi,
Has Lt Armitage's letter (about the burial detail at Isandlwana) ever been transcribed?
Cheers

Hi
Thanks a lot, I heard that it was in the museum (at Brecon) a few years ago but hoped it had been 'released'.
Cheers

Simon, Effectively the letter was a few years ago in the Brecon Muséum. I tried to get a copy of it (or a transcript) without success. Some extracts of the letter have been published in the newspapers. Cheers Frédéric
