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

Some of many mistakes
Zulus being 4 Miles 3,000 dead Zulu trap Over heat and miss fire Ammuntion supplies ran out The zulus could advance easily The natives running and leaving a gap in the line Brickhill a soilder A wounded solider asking brickhill for a lift Part time force of peasent farmers only 8 of those left to defend the camp escaped
Cheers

Hi DB. Brickhill was asked for a ' Lift ' by Band Sgt Gamble ( Basicall still a soldier ! ) so it isnt a mistake . It was indeed a patrol which basically found the army which in turn signals the start of the battle . Cheers 90th .

Gives a great feeling of the battle, atmosphere etc. Some one once wrote, 'why let the truth get in the way of a good story." Nice to see the original settings being used, the trail, Fugitives Drift et. Well done John good post.
Cheers

Db Without wishing to be pedantic, Gamble was actually wounded. Some where in the deeper reccesses of my memory Im sure I recall him being seen in the hospital tent.
Could very easily be mistaken though. Still should keep you busy for a couple of hours looking through the books. :lol:
