Hi Graves,

As part of my PowerPoint project - I am collecting photos of graves/memorials at Isandlwana, to either individuals or units

So far I have photos of:-

Blakie,
Natal Mounted Police
Natal Carbineers
24th foot memorial
Iron Cross grave
'Wardells' obelisk
RA slab
The Zulu memorial
Shepstone's Grave
and last of all Archbell's one

Do you know of any more marked graves or memorials at Isandlwana?

Thanks a lot

Simon

I believe there is still the original grave marker to Trooper MacLeroy a little way along the Fugitives' Trail.

Also, Quartermaster George Hitchcock's memorial is the prominent one on the left of the photo in your post.

Regards,

Tim

Hi Simon

This might sound stupid but I do not know what memorials or graves are at Isandlwana, it has been over 40 years since I was last there.

The person who would know is 90th, I believe he has photographed nearly everything there.

I know it is not much help.

Hi Tim

You might have to contact Admin with regards to Trooper MacLeroy's grave photograph.

It is one of those that have now disappeared.

Salute

On the fugitives trail but hard to find.

Thanks, I'll e-mail Gary (90th) when he back from his travels
