A soldier who fought at Rorkes Drift, but was left off the roll of honour for the famous battle, is now going to be added to the historical record.

Private David Jenkins was initially well known in his local community for being a Rorkes Drift veteran - but as the years went by, he slipped into obscurity.

But now his Great Grandson has found new evidence to show that he was almost certainly there.
