Hello   I was wondering if any records were kept of the various Irish regiment soldiers that were based at the Casle of Good Hope? My great grandfather, Patrick Broderick, was apparently a Sargeant in the Irish regiment and based there. I cannot find any information on him and was wondering if any records existed?   My grandmother, Louisa Mary Josephine Broderick, was born in Cape Town in 1875, so I am assuming that my great grandfather would have been based at the Castle prior to this date.   Your help would be greatly appreciated.   Kind regards,   Bernard Brown Dallas, Texas

Try the South Africa Irish Association It has lots of info. There was a Col. Broderick in the Zululand wars...Inniskillings Patricia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Brown" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2010 10:04 AM Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] Irish Regiment based at the Castle of GoodHope Hello I was wondering if any records were kept of the various Irish regiment soldiers that were based at the Casle of Good Hope?
