Magical Mystery Tour: The Rediscovered Life of Thomas Fellows WALTON (1833-1884)

[spades]

Hi Majm, welcome to the madhouse  and can you please sort out the stroppy mob lobbing insults (and probably Jaffas but they're missing)?

The 58th, the Black Cuffs! They fought in the First Maori War (aka The Northern War) of 1845-47. Have you read Michael Barthorp's excellent history of the regiment's New Zealand service, To Face the Daring Maoris (1979)?

If not try to get hold of a copy, it's a great read.

Please may I peek in that list         

Do you mean New Zealand Medal to Colonials ? If you PM me some names I'll have a look for them.

We're getting close to dessert now, but tomorrow.

But as an amuse-gueule until then, what can you all find out about the NSW Volunteer Rifles and their NZ service?

I think you're all playing up because you're bored. This'll keep you busy for a bit and, I realise I'm being highly optimistic here, out of mischief.

By the way Majm, To Face the Daring Maoris   does mention some soldiers by name.

PM me if you want a lookup, the book's here on the desk beside me.

quote ...Also, I think J L Newman is on various jury lists as John LETCHFIELD Newman


... have seen it as Lichfield alt Litchfield as well, even in the book I mentioned, post # 106, on the same page ...

Simon says...it is now (even though the rule only pertains to Walton's story but i don't want you all getting confused).

Amusing banter!

Just an aside on how great is this site and google
if you type NSW Volunteer rifles nz
this thread comes up no 1..I've noticed that before that this board gets great coverage!!

Just something to contemplate while we wait for dessert..or being a male is it just cheese and crackers  .... men never seem to realise how important the dessert course is, at least in my family!

Mr KHP is quite happy getting his own dessert, as I don't have dessert, but I occassionally make desserts for him when I am in the mood, quite often I am told an apple pie would be nice
