  We present low-resolution Keck spectroscopy for the globular cluster H VIII
in the Local Group dIrr galaxy NGC 6822. We find the metallicity of the cluster
to be [Fe/H]= -1.58 +/- 0.28 and the age of the cluster to be 3-4 Gyr, slightly
older than but consistent with previous age estimates. H VIII seems to be more
metal-poor than most intermediate-age globular clusters in the Local Group, and
appears most similar to the anomalous Small Magellanic Cloud clusters Lindsay
113 and NGC 339.
