This is the diary of Dr Lewis W Reynolds, a Civil Surgeon on contract to the British Forces in South Africa. His writings start from the time he left England on 16 May 1878 and end with his return on 4 Oct 1879. In addition to his personal account of the Anglo Zulu campaigns, his dairy includes facts and figures about distances, medical supplies and a small diagram about the formation of the Square during the battle of Ulundi.

Have any members of this forum read this book and does anyone own a copy of this book? What I am after is a little information on the photograph of Dr Lewis M Reynolds which appears in the book.

Peter are you looking for James Henry Reynolds served at (Rorkes Drift) if so he is buried at Kensal Rise Cemetery the best entrance to take is the one as you come out of Kensal Green tube station.

As SD says, if you mean James Henry Reynolds, I can post his photo and grave under British Officers In the Zulu Wars.
Before I post about Dr Lewis W Reynolds, I need to speak to someone who owns the book I mentioned at the top of this thread.
