| Nice Photo, have you any close-ups of the hill itself. I would like to see the cave where a soldier fought till the last, I cant imagine the fear going through his mind as he fired his last. |

| It is debatable who was the last man standing.: uMhoti was eating sugar and watching Chelmsfords men returning ( should give an idea of the time) in the distance when he was started by a shot from the slopes of Mahlabamkhosi. "A soldier had been lying there ans seeing a zulu approach, fired at and killed him, and then made a run for it;but was soon overtaken and speared."
Possibly this was the last man?

| There is no real consensus as to which is the right cave. This one is above the final Younghusband position. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This one is the oposite end of the mountain [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Cheers |
