The regiment was stationed in Ceylon when in February 1879, it received orders to proceed to Natal. On its journey it joined the 1st Brigade of the column that was being formed for the relief of Eshowe. 

They held the right flank face of the laager at Gingindhlovu and assisted in repelling the first enemy attack.

During the second invasion of Zululand they were in the 2nd Brigade of Crealock’s 1st Division.
