New Project - "Brutal Valour: A Novel of the Anglo-Zulu War"

The first will start with the end of the Xhosa War in 1878 and the arrival of the British 24th Regiment of Foot to South Africa.

Philip Gon's 'The Road to Isandlwana' details the 1/24th's activities from their arrival in South Africa through to Isandlwana.

'The Historical Records of the 24th Regiment' available as a reprint from Brecon covers both battalions and the Mounted Infantry of the 24th.

Hi ciscokid.
You will find it cheaper from the on- line bookstores when compared to ebay , or that's what I've found over the years .

Maybe check the postage and what currency you use before buying .
