Having once owned the 1879 to a survivor (Sgt. Walsh) of the Newcastle Mounted Rifles I am now on the track of the KIA to the same outfit - Sgt Andrew Swan.

I know where it is now to acquire it!!

Good luck indeed, Rory! A Newcastle Mounted Rifles Dartnell Patrol medal is on my wish list. I have examples from the other Natal units - Natal Mounted Police, Natal Carbineers and Buffalo Border Guard. They cost about 10% of the price of an Isandlwana casualty, hence my interest in them.

Hi Brett,

Congratulations on your 1000th, a feat indeed. I must admit I enjoy reading your posts about recently acquired medals and especially the research that you have uncovered. That Allerton group is a cracker, it would be a most welcome addition to any collection.

Regards,

Jim
