Zulu.Lieutenant John Chard: What's our strength? Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Seven officers including surgeon, commissaries and so on; Adendorff now I suppose; wounded and sick 36, fit for duty 97 and about 40 native levies. Not much of an army for you.

We tend to overlook the significant population from India that came to Natal in the 1870's. These are original photos from the time. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

'Imported' to work in the sugar fields. A very large Indian population in Natal at present. Probably the most famous would be Gandhi in 1893.
