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.

Came across this image, the rifle looks like a M.H going by the leaver action. I was wondering if the dog was connected to the Zulu War. Unfortunately this is all I have. But hoping someone has seen it before.

"Re-the dog query, I would suggest it is 'Jock of the Bushveld', no A-ZW connection, unless you count that the part of the 1992 film was made at Fugitives' Drift."

A big thanks to the Well Known Zulu War Historian. Just a pity it wasn't connected to the Zulu War.
