Subject: Isandlwana camp map Thu Dec 27, 2012 5:18 pm
Hello, hope all have had a good Christmas, i am wondering if anyone can direct me, to a map/diagram of the camp pre-Battle, how it was laid out, tents - hospital -kitchen-latrine sort of map/diagram. Very interested in the lay of the actual camp.
If you get the book Hill Of The Spinx by David Jackson there is a drawing of the camp, tents, hospital ect, its also a god read.

Hi Scarletto . This is the only picture I could find of this print . At the bottom of the print which you cant see , it tells you who was where .

As far as Im aware the very first 'picture' of the camp was painted by Crealock and was unfinished. The first completed map was by Penn Symonds with additional sketches from various suvivors, Molefe etc. The first official ones I seem to recall were by Anstey and Mainwaring. There was possibly one by Hammer attached to a letter to his father ( this map has dissapeared and Im currently trying to trace it).

I am in contact with Mr. Lock (who in turn is in contact with Mr. Quantrill) and shall bring this question to their attention, hopefully tomorrow, 26-10-2015.

It is not a map - but a watercolour view of the camp at Isandlwana - the work of John Churchill Simpson executed in 1998. There is a print on display in the Regimental Museum in Brecon.
