Jefff,

Along with what you have detailed from the Welsh newspaper, the Gloucester Journal of 26th April 1879 gives some more Baglin family information.

Edith Baglin, with of Ephraim Baglin, of Berry Hill, stated that on the previous day prisoner came to her house and asked if Ephriam Baglin lived there. She said "yes". He then inquired if she had'nt had a son killed in the Zulu War. To this she answered "No, but her husband's brother was killed there"

The newspaper then gives details of what George Skipp[s] offered to write.
"I, Eprhaim Baglin, a brother of No. 1527, Private Bom. H.M. G. Company, 2.24 Reg Foot was killed on the 22nd January, in the Zulu War. I am the only brother alive belonging to im and I claim what belong to im"

I will have a look for the military information and let you work on the Baglin family details
