Hi, I am trying to determine if and when my ggg grandfather fought in a frontier war. He was Jetty Master in PE until 1878. A reported note in his diary was of "Many adventures during the zulu wars". Since the dates of his possible involvement were 1878 and he lived in Port Elizabeth, I am trying to figure out if he was in the Frontier Wars not the Zulu wars but am exploring both. Does anyone know about how the frontier wars affected Port Elizabeth during this period? Were troop ships arriving here as they were in East London? Would conditions have been such that he was moved to send his family away to Durban (there is a passenger departure in April 1878 for a family with the same name)? I have information on the military activities and politics but any advice on activities in the PE area would be very much appreciated. Shannon
