| Doe's anyone know where this encounter took place and how it came about?
"THE ZULU WAR. Private letters from the Cape give us interesting information, not only of the Integrity of the Prince Imperial, but of his determination to share in the hard life of the common soldier. The prince, it appears, took a leading part in a sharp encounter with the enemy early in May (when, by the way, our native troops bolted at the first shot), and for three successive nights he was in bivouac without a tent, and with only one blanket, which the prince characteristically shared with his servant."

| There are various accounts of these escapades! He was out on Patrol in Which Buller vc was in command.. they came across some Zulu's in the distance the P.I. with his hitherto un- known excitable nature fully roused went charging after them on his own frantically waving his sword, Buller was so incensed at the princes alarming and reckless behaviour vowed, never to take him out again!.
The story of the blanket, again, differs only slightly in the various accounts i have! it is said he shunned taking a blanket as ' unmanly ' so in consequence he spent the nights wide awake stomping around the campsite loudly singing pat- riotic songs in an effort to keep warm..his comrades it is said were not amused. cheers xhosa |
