| Notes |
Shell jacket, Fermanagh Light Infantry, Ireland, circa 1880. Belonged to Charles Hugh Lushington, later of New Zealand. Charles Hugh Lushington (27.1.1862-1907). Son of Charles Hugh Lushington of Rodersham Lodge, Kent, England. Spent much of his childhood in India where his father was a judge with the East India Civil Service. Educated at Eton and Cheam. Charles arrived in New Zealand in 1882 and joined the Styak family at Greenmount East Tamaki as a farm cadet, and on 6 May 1884 married Sarah Jane Styak, and continued to live at Greenmount until 1886 when the family bought Rodersham, a lime cement house at Mahurangi Heads. It appears that Charles Lushington served briefly with the Fermanagh Light Infantry before coming to New Zealand. The Ulster Counties Directory, 1880 lists a Lieutenant CH Lushington as a member of this militia regiment, It is possible that he had joined an older sister who had married Francis John Graham of Drumgoon, County Fermanagh and Ballinakill Lodge, County Galway.
