Xhosa2000. Just browsing through you photobucket pics and came across the drawing of Ernest M-Buller. Do you know when this was dran and by whom. This maybe an old question you have answered a million times before but I would appreciate to know as its a new pic to me. many thanks

Guest

M.H. it was drawn by John North Crealock
who
was a talented artist as were most of the
officer class of the time. a compilation of
his sketches were brought together in the
1979 centenary celebration by Ronald Brown.
the odd copy can still be found but its a bit
pricey. cheers xhosa

Guest

sorry it was drawn in the field..1879.
the book is The Road to Ulundi.

Guest

Open question to anyone interested.

What if any was the relationship between Lt. General Julius Richard Glyn CB Rifle Brigade to the ill fated Col. Richard Thomas Glyn CB of the 24th. I don't know! and I'm still trying to find the link if any.

I have an early pic of JRGlyn in Canada with Ernest Henry Buller and just wondered if the Bullers and Glyn families had any ties. I am endeavoring to discover why Chelmsford chose EHB as his ADC other than they were both RB colleagues as far as I can discover did not serve at the same time.

Guest

There's a small bio of Glyn here.

Thanks for that background. I just have to see if he's related to the other Glyn of the R . Brigade or maybe their surnames were just a coincidence?

Guest

very interesting! R.B. Glyn. Canada..
good hunting.

Good afternoon Springbok9 and Xhosa. That photo is of Bishop McKenzie's house and 'college', together with St Vincent's. Believe it or not, the village around Isandlwana has only sprung up in the last 40 years of so. When I first visited it in the 1960s, we were allowed to stop at the battlefield without applying for a permit to enter a "Bantu" area providing we didn't wander off into the country side!
Regards, Ken

Guest

Yes good afternoon, its an interesting image.
probably taken in the 80's or 90's..which
would still leave the battlefield relatively un-
touched. looking at google earth now! i see what
you mean about your early experience's in
the 60's.your a lucky man to have walked
there, then.

Ken,

Aren't there too many buildings in the Gibson photograph?

Here's what Saint Vincent's & the Bishop's house looked like just after completion.

So the present museum was the Bishops House I assume?

I know Littlehand posted a copy of this photograph back in 2014, and there was some uncertainty about the sitter’s identity.

I hope that this inscribed version of the photograph actually clarifies the matter.
