Notes

Full Dress Tunic, (Fermanagh Light Infantry), Ireland, circa 1880 Belonged to Charles Hugh Lushington, later of New Zealand. Provenance needs to be reviewed. The two stars on shoulder straps conform to CH Lushington's rank while serving in the Fermanagh Light Infantry, but, thesleeve details of this tunic suggest rank of Lt. Colonel. 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.
