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 Graves,
As part of my PowerPoint project - I am collecting photos of graves/memorials at Isandlwana, to either individuals or units
So far I have photos of:-
Blakie, Natal Mounted Police Natal Carbineers 24th foot memorial Iron Cross grave 'Wardells' obelisk RA slab The Zulu memorial Shepstone's Grave and last of all Archbell's one
Do you know of any more marked graves or memorials at Isandlwana?
Thanks a lot
Simon

I believe there is still the original grave marker to Trooper MacLeroy a little way along the Fugitives' Trail.
Also, Quartermaster George Hitchcock's memorial is the prominent one on the left of the photo in your post.
Regards,
Tim

Hi Simon
This might sound stupid but I do not know what memorials or graves are at Isandlwana, it has been over 40 years since I was last there.
The person who would know is 90th, I believe he has photographed nearly everything there.
I know it is not much help.

Hi Tim
You might have to contact Admin with regards to Trooper MacLeroy's grave photograph.
It is one of those that have now disappeared.
