Merely reading CTSG mind. Based on his Historical association with the Colenso books. Not to hard conclude, |

| This is why we can't have books being burned. By the time this one and that one is done choosing, there'd be very little left...and it would probably be a very boring selection. |

Funny, I view them as books that seek to correct them. |

| Hiya 6pdr seasons greetings  Dave same to you mate well, what can i say, i generally post with my own word's, so if i directly quote, be sure that i have ' ran ' to primary/secondary sources! i dont and have not..trawled this site to see what happened in past posts.. until a person directs me.ie, you Dave,so i read all the posts, it is one page. apart from the biographical details which are historical fact, i then look at the comments, opinion's. they are in the main woeful!!! conjecture/gossip simply will not cut it, i understand this was 3 years ago..i say again, this information has been in the public domain for yonk's..( ages ) just one statement, which on the face of it i find incredible! just to say were in the last quarter of the Victorian age, on the ' surface ' morality was the key issue of the day..divorce at that time was certain social suicide, like that awful british sit com 'keeping up appearances ' was everything.. so when i saw this.. While in Pietermaritzburg he fell in love with Frances Ellen Colenso, (died 1887 of tuberculosis) daughter of the Anglican Bishop of Natal, the Rt. Rev. John Colenso. Their friendship was very discreet. She later wrote a book about Anthony with his brother Edward. littlehand, teus july 13. So its about infidelity ctsg. thats just plain wrong! LC. was an efficient. kindly man, who just got found out..he never commanded in the field again. we can not.equate todays morality! as it applied in the period we are entranced by.. that still leaves John William and Harriet. was Durnford in favour of the African's..of course he was..he was a humanist, against an odious repressive evil regime..not all prominent figures in that period were what they seemed..shepstone (s) frere, Wolsley, ( before and after ) osborn, to name but a few. in comparison people like J.W. Colenso and A.W. Durnford stand out as beacon's of light which ultimately concluded when Madiba finished his stroll..my opinion. |

Yet his method of dealing with the Zulu, if seen attack ? Can't get my head around why he would want to get involved in a war against the people he sympathised with? And against the morals of the Colenso family? perhaps Dunford should have traded his collar for a white one! |

| There were Zulu on both sides of the Buffalo. And the black colonial cavalry fought with distinction that day. Frere wanted to remove Cetshwayo from the political and military equation. The war was not about anything else of any substance than furthering his Imperial ambitions by way of confederation. Durnford demonstrated repeatedly that he was loyal to the crown and the people who were loyal to him. There was no contradiction there whatsoever. |

| Durnford had little Battle experience in his career, in fact his career was fairly dull compared to others. Poor old Durnford, scapegoated twice Bushmans pass and Isandlwana. But hey! those who pointed the accusing finger at both events were all wrong?
Loyal to the Crown. The one he won in a drinking and gambling competition! |

| From Peter Quantrill.
"The last entry in the ‘Decoy Theory’ asked whether Durnford ever played billiards with Chelmsford? Christmas humour may lead one to respond: No, but at one of the many frames played at his London club, he won the game and exclaimed: “At last, I have potted the black!” Best wishes, Peter"
Not a lot of people know that!!!!! |
