Since the Natal Mounted Rifles came into existence after the Zulu War, Edward Snell must have served in another regiment, possibly the Alexandra, Victoria or Stanger Mounted Rifles, which subsequently combined to form the Natal Mounted Rifles.

He was not with the Natal Mounted Police either. Perhaps there are lists of men who were besieged in Eshowe and they will reveal Snell's unit.

Hi Brett .
I thought all the Colonial troops at Eshowe were sent back to the Tugela fairly early on in an attempt to save Rations .
Cheers 90th. Salute
