jennifer, just had a look at that site, and its great. it said that the regiment were in egypt in 1882, which i was hoping, as there was a rumour in our family, that he was only in the army for a short time, but that he served in egypt. however, i couldnt see where u found that they were in colchester in 81

Click on 1st Battalion, then scroll down the years to 1881, it says Colchester immediately above Egypt. Jennifer

Have you found Caroline and Adolphus in 1881, as far as I can see, they are also missing. Jennifer
