Updated list of Zulu War Veterans who came to Australia or New Zealand

This has been a large project, and over 182 people researched to the best of my ability. Many said they served. The first list is in excel format and formatting has been lost in copying to here. My numbering system reflects the three stages that I worked on this. Thanks also to Captain Tom, we worked together with the Naval men. By far the most interesting story here, is of John Newman, from Pearson's column to Australia's first serial killer, hung in 1897 at Darlinghurst prison, and on the execution staff was Samuel Godwin who also served through the Zulu War.
