The Flag is given to Melville and ordered to get to Rorkes Drift.

Also rallying the men as it passes through the camp.

Melville, assisted by Vereker charge through the large numbers of Zulu, getting out of the camp.

Passing through the camp, Melville and Vereker see the brave attempt to stay alive by many members of the 24th, rallying them to keep fighting as they passed through.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

After losing his horse, Melville has no other option but to stand and fight, trying to protect the colours.

The Zulus kept getting closer, he finds no time to reload his revolver and it ends as he is about to be over whelmed....

And finally, The flag in the River, where it should have been...

Nice one Joe, small point, Vereker didnt leave the battlefield, the horse he was riding was claimed by the owner. Vereker gave up the horse and thats, I believe, the last that was heard of him.

Regards
