| Some wonderful photos and documents now online. Including Chard's original manuscript report on Rorke's Drift. One photo which is said to be Majuba is plainly Isandlwana ! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Steve |

| Steve,
That one was taken in 1880, Henry Spark Stabb, Commandant Bowker & Jabez Molife are in the photograph, it looks like a contemporary hand has annotated it which is odd, given that Majuba was in 1881.
The one next to it listed as 'Isandhlawana' is the destruction of the umuzi where the Prince Imperial was killed.
For a National Archive some silly spelling errors!
Thanks for the link though.

| There are help desks with very knowledgeable people, but you need to know what you are looking for. They produce a number of research guides on a whole range of subjects. See the guides here. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Steve |
