My great grandfather Charles Herbert Hogan apparently fought in the Siege of Ladysmith. I have a book that Col Park sent to him after this battle ( it is a book about the battle) I have been unable to find any information about my grandfather. I think he was in the 1st Batalion of the Devonshire Regiment.

I can see there was a 2452 C Hogan in the 1st Devonshire shown on their medal roll, but, upon looking at this mans papers, he was actually Claude John Hogan, a butcher from London, who had joined in 1889.
