| I was flicking through the pages of Zulu War and its Origin, and found that the author makes reference to a Native Groom that had feigned death throughout the night for fear of being killed by the British, being mistaken for a Zulu. In the morning he followed the column back to Rorkes Drift at a distance. But nothing is said if he arrived at Rorke's Drift. Doe's anyone know if he didi or not, he could have held the answers to many questions. |

| You would have thought, he would have been questioned as he was actually in the camp when it was over run. Who's groom was he. |

| Hi all . This will be like looking for a needle in a haystack ! . There are 14 listed with no details in England's Sons , only where you can find their stories ! . The only one which fits the criteria is Anonymous - Native Wagon Driver - ( A) '' His remarks are recorded by Capt . W.P. Symons , Wounded , he remained hidden in the rocks till night . '' Then hobbled across the river '' . There will have been others , who , sadly their stories are lost to history. ![Suspect](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/suspect.gif) . cheers 90th. |
