| The Last of the 24th at Isandlwana... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]''Retreating higer and higher up the hill till he reached a small cave or recess in the rocks, into which he crept, and with his gun, kept off the enemy''[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]A Private calmly loads one of his last few rounds... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]''The Soldier, however, was very cool and wary, invariably shot every Zulu as he appeared; He did not blaze away hurridly, but loaded quietly and took deliberate aim, and killed a man with every shot''[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]''A number of men, good shots, were brought up with guns, who similtaneously fired at the unfortunate man, and so killed him.''Thanks Joe |
