This bookplate may belong to either Edgell Wyatt-Edgell of Milton Place, Egham, Surrey, or his son of the same name, Reverend Edgell Wyatt-Edgell. Reverend Wyatt-Edgell was born in 1811, and died September 25, 1888. He married Henrietta Otway in 1844. He is the father of Edmund Vermy Wyatt-Edgell (1845-1879), who was born on August 16, 1845. E.V. Wyatt-Edgell was a calvalryman, and Captain of the 17th Lancers. He arrived in Durban, Zululand (now part of South Africa), on 7 April 1879 and died on July 4 of the same year while in action at the Battle of Ulundi, Zululand. He was a contributor to a book entitled 'The Story of the Zulu Campaign,' by Major Waller Ashe, which was originally published in 1880. The work has an introduction by John Laband.
