| Hi Graves1879. I'm Fairly certain the Morosi affair was in 1879 , not 77-78 ( Gaikas , Galekas and possibly the first attack on Sekukuni ) ![scratch](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_scratch.png) . Happy to be corrected . cheers 90th. |

| I found refrence to him because witnessed Captain Shepstone take iteams from Durnford body.
I think the story goes,
He borrowed a sick troopers uniform to vist Isandlwana in May and found his brothers body lying close to Durnfords.
I think he may have been conacted to the Natal Witness papers
Cheers DB14 |
