Lord Chelmsford Said .Buller is ‘one of the finest soldiers of the century’, so modest and reticent –that it was difficult to say for what individual deed he had got the Victoria Cross as he had been doing acts worthy of it all along the line

Thanks. I just wanted to know, if there are any illustrations of the uniforms and weapons, or just text.

Hi Impi. I have the book there are photographs as well as four colour plates , group photographs , half a dozen of weapons , zulu & British all the photo's are obviously B&W . I havent read all of it , but found it informative , if anything to detailed . Certainly worth having if you are looking for a book like this . I've ordered a book from DP& G Publication titled ' Dress Regulations Of The Army 1874 ( Uniforms Worn In The Zulu War ) 22 or 23 Quid . Its being reprinted & Bound as we speak so I wont see it for a while as its coming by surface mail , so I'm looking at 12 - 14 weeks . I've been assured It's well worth the wait from the Company .. cheers 90th.
