| Hi lesbille
Black AND white ostrich features. The regimental shield was black with white spots. This was the regiment formed by Mpanda. It was normally comprised 1000 men with an average age of 28.
regards
barry

| yes thank you very much I had already seen. however small error : the left soldier is the regiment umhlanga but : The figure shows a bunches of black ostrich feathers when it should normally be a bunches of white ostrich feathers at the front of the head and a bunches of black ostrich feathers behind this is what I want to know Barry agrees with this |

| Hi lesbille
The ceremonial uniform for the umhlanga regiment is:
Band of leopard skin round the forehead, bunches of black ostrich feathers on front of head, surmonted by several white ostrish feathers ; ear-flaps of green monkey skin; withe bunch of cow-tails suspended from the neck, and handing down chest and back; shields , black with a white spot on the top of the shield, Unlike the Indluyengwe regiment with black shields, with a white spot below ...
A Isandhlwana, this regiment has1.000 warriors (20 amaviyo) after the I.Knight list
A Isandhlwana, it was the extreme right of the Zulu chest ...
Cheers

| thank you very very much pascal
more you add an important detail.: the position of the white spot on the upper half of the shield. on this point I had conflicting information. several sources give the white spot on the lower part of the shield.
image that gives DAVE related the figure on the right instead (NOT the left) which is the regimental Umhlanga. we can see that the shield shows a white spot on the lower half. you think this is an error. it must be on the upper part of the shield.

The spot is below on the inDluyengwe shield, and is well known and the spot is on the top of the shield for the top for umhlanga regiment, and is well known ,again sorry for you Cheers Pascal |
