Film Zulu Dawn quote: “Excuse me, my Lord, there's something I must convey to you. I rode along the track down to Rorke's Drift. The sky above is red with fire. Your orders my Lord? Do we move to the drift?”

This topic was mentioned not to long ago but I cant find in what context. There are a number of illustrations and photos that suggest some of the wagons where covered. Probably the most famous of these photos would be 1 of a wagon crossing the Tugela at the lower drift. Also in Lloyds paintings there are quite a number ilustrated. One of his paintings from the top of Shiyane looking through a telescope at isandlwana shows covered wagons abandoned on the saddle and one toppled into a donga, a number of them are covered.
