Wolsleys is not gentle with the guys of Isandhlwana and Rorcke's Drift ?

Because he knew very well the Victorian army or by concurrency ?

"I am sorry that both of these officers were not killed with their men at Isandlwana instead of where they were. I don't like the idea of officers escaping on horseback when their men on foot are killed. Heroes have been made of men like Melvill and Coghill, who, taking advantage of their having horses, bolted from the scene of the action to save their lives, it is monstrous making heroes of those who saved or attempted to save their lives by bolting or of those who, shut up in buildings at Rorke's Drift, could not bolt, and fought like rats for their lives which they could not otherwise save"

Could have added this to the Melvill, Coghill discussion.

I do not think he was talking specifically about them!

"La Croix de Victoria" but why, Wolsleys is not gentle with the guys and Isandhlwana Rorcke's Drift ?

Concurrency or jealousy ?To do, he got along well with LC ?

Ah, what difference if Wolsleys had led the first invasion of Zululand!

You imagine? This forum would not even exist
