hi i found this in an archive of the times and wondered if it was talking about the battle of rorkes drift
this is what it said
'lord chelmsford stated the attack on bromheads camp at rorkes drift was repulsed in the most brilliant manor. two of the defenders were killed and when day light came it revealed 100 dead zululs around the fortified position'

any help or information would be appretiated

thanks joe

hi
im just wondering if the quote of lord chelmsford
was talking about rorkes drift or something different.
becasue the information is all wrong 'two defenders
killed and 100 zulus dead'
it seems to be about rorkes drift but if anyone can
correct me or give me more info about it
that would be great

thanks joe
