That a good point. Why is there so much interest in the particular war ? its not as if it went on for years it was months. Maybe it’s the not knowing what really happen that makes it interesting. |

| hi 24th i think its popularity has increased because of the two battles on the same day, one a complete massacre,the other a magnificent defence with limited numbers holding off an overwhelming force.this doesnt include NYEZANE fought on the same day,which a lot of people would not know. also ZULU, no doubt has created interest for 40 years. 90th |
