Here are three cartoons, for want of a better word, which are connected to the Zulu War.. i would like to see if any of our members have any..it does not matter if they come from private collections, the net, or out of books, magazines ect. the British they say are known for their sense of humour. funny but often brutal.

As we have a few scapegoats on this forum it is time to add another. This one is from Funny Folks 2nd August 1879:

From the pages of The Dart, a Birmingham-based paper:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] The Mayor of Birmingham speaking at Ipswich the other day, declared that ‘the massacre of Glencoe was mercy compared with the burning of kraals in Zululand,’ and advised his hearers that the best thing the people of England could do was to make the easiest terms they could with that much-injured heroic king Cetewayo.
