| Fantastic picture Frank. The mists of time that still cover the campaign to this day or the fog of war? Kate  ps Could you not have asked dawn to move out of the way? |

Actually, where exactly was the photo taken? At the crossing point above RD? The mist somewhat veils the location's identity. |

| As the river bends there is a small island, thats the actual Rorke's Drift just below Shiyane. So the photo was taken 100 yards upstream from the drift with the deep water pool just behind me to the right. |
