The printer tells me the first run will be finished tomorrow so I should be able to get copies to the Museum by about Tuesday.
There are five essays in total - 85 pages -

The Cochrane Accounts of Isandhlwana - updated and 'unmangled' from how it first appeared

Reading between the Lines: An Analysis of the
Alleged ‘Pulleine-Cavaye Order’ of 22.1.1879 - an opportunity to lay out all the latest evidence on this forgery

More Noble 24th: An Addendum to Norman
Holme’s Monumental Work - updated and expanded since it first appeared over a decade ago.

Moderation and Forbearance: South African Confederation
and the Origins of the Zulu War - a fresh view on the subject, I hope Coll's pleased with it

Private David Jenkins and a Contemporary Roll of Rorke’s
Drift Defenders - originally supposed to be 8 pages long but with the discovery of a new letter and the realization that a contemporary Roll of RD defenders needed to be found it assumed much larger proportions and has nudged an article on the Royal Artillery into the next volume

I hope you enjoy it.

Chard
If I were not totally confident about the evidence I have for Jenkins I would not have published. There are three new pieces of evidence which clinch it.
