Hi Itchy
Great photographs of the grave.
You are correct with the location of the grave, I did not notice the incorrect information of Littlehand's post, well done.

no problem , we went to howarth last week and spent a couple of hours looking for him in the rain ,so it became a quest to visit him .We are trying to visit as many as we can before we go to Zululand next year.

Hi Itchy
Talking of errors, look at his birth year on this grave stone! That makes him only 10 years of age during the Zulu War. It should be 1859.
