The terrier ' pip '

Guest

an extract from AZWHS num 9 june 2001.
an article entitled ' observations on the
film Zulu by John McAdam..he's talking
about Pip the little terrier owned by Pope,
or Godwyn-Austen?.

" On my research field trips to the Mission
Station, i discovered that when the defenders
were at the final redoubt, our little dog
would run up and down on the top of the
parapet and bark furiously when the Zulu
were massing in the darkness for yet another
assault, giving the defenders good warning
of an impending attack".

What a brave little mutt, i believe after the
Battle of Isandhlwana,stray british dog's
which survived were seen in packs roaming.

Why start two topics, when one already exists ? Just add to it.

my posts, as you can tell
most of it is of the cuff,the
thought of pre-planning is
anathema to me. different
