As he died in service, it's very unlikely that his records would have been retained. However, there are other records, at the National Archives, such as Muster Rolls which give a quarter by quarter account of where he was and when and should mention his death. |

Many thanks John. It is fascinating - we are hoping to visit the Zululand battlefields later this year. |

As he died at Rorke's Drift, he's mentioned in a book which gives all of those details. Thanks. |

FMP have Army records for that time. Where did you get his Attested date from? |
