Fort Buckingham
Fort Whitehead

Thank you

I think J Laband and P Thompson's Field Guide to the War in Zululand and the Defence of Natal 1879 my be of use. It has plans of each fort and larger maps showing their location.
Did you mean Fort Albert rather than Fort Alfred?

Hi 61MECH
Not sure if it's you that asked this same question on Ian Knight's FB Group page ? , I did send a couple of pics of Publications regarding Forts / Laagers etc , there's nothing out in the printed domain that will give you ALL the GPS Positions regarding Forts and Laagers , we usually go over and locate them ourselves but none of us are technology efficient , I have no idea about GPS readings etc . the only book I'm aware of that deals in GPS locations which includes many of the Forts / Laagers etc is by the Late Ken Gillings ( a wonderful chap )... Titles ' Discovering the Battlefields Of The Anglo Zulu War ' . isbn 9781920143909 , you should be able to get a copy inexpensively .
