Hi Littlehand
Some great images posted today.
Do you know where St Paul's camp is situated? I had not come across this camp before.

Hi JohnB. According to ' British Fortifications In Zululand 1879 ' by Ian Knight and Illustrated by A. Hook ...... Yes , Hook !!. It is situated half way between Ulundi and Eshowe .The notation on the map states ... St. Pauls Redoubt ( Built Post Ulundi for Pacification Purposes ) . cheers 90th .

Hi Johnb. Some more info , this from ' Field Guide to the war in zululand and the defence of Natal 1879 ' by J.P.C. Laband & P.S. Thompson. Page 93 ........... ' On the hill adjacent to St. Pauls Mission , the 5th Co , Royal Engineers began a small redoubt ( Known Locally today as ' eSoyini ' ) on the 28th July , which was garrisoned by men of the 90th LI , stationed at the mission from july 15 until the end of September . A small detachment of Imperial troops later garrisoned the post from Oct 1887 to Sept 1888 and may have altered the Redoubt ' . cheers 90th.

Hi johnB. On further checking there is a black & white scale drawing of the floor plan of the St. Pauls Redoubt on page 99 of the Laband & Thompson publication if anyone is able to post it on the forum . cheers 90th.
