Thanks David

In the book "Natal Carbineers 1855-1911" edited by the Rev. John Stalker there is a nominal roll of officers and men who served in the ABW including five men called Dicks. All had the rank of trooper.

E.J. (sic) Dicks
G.W. Dicks
H.C Dicks
H.E.H. Dicks
J.A. Dicks

The first three are notated witha letter 'L' which signifies they took part in the siege of Ladysmith.

E.J. has to be your Edward Isaac. G.W. and H.E.H. are also your men. Your other two aren't shown.

I came across a medal roll for the Natal Carbineers.

434 Trooper E.J Dicks
307 Trooper G N Dicks
268 Trooper H C Dicks
700 Trooper H E H Dicks
701 Trooper J A Dicks
there is also an entry for a 259 Corp O E Dick ?
