88th Foot (Connaught Rangers) Zulu War 1879 South Africa Medal.

88th Foot (Connaught Rangers) Zulu War 1879 South Africa Medal.
A good scarce example with “1879” clasp awarded to “711 Pte. J. Broderick 88th Foot”..............from bidwyze

Currently on bidwyze for £640. I know medals to Irish units have a strong following. What was the 88th's level of engagement in the campaign?
