*Note that 186 men of the 24th Regiment are not individually named, as was the practice in newspaper passenger lists at this time. You can lose a lot of ancestors that way. In this instance the men of the 24th were sailing out to South Africa to fight in the Zulu War and many would meet their fate at Isandhlwana or Rorke's Drift in January 1879.
