Add ZULU DAWN with Burt Lancaster to this list! It depicts the battle of Isladwana just before Rook’s Drift.
I watched a Discover channel on Isladwana. The Zulus were hepped up on some sort of magic potion and the British fired so much that the smoke from their weapons obscured their view so much that the Zulus were able to come on in through the smoke and wreak some havok.
Fascinating. Queen Vickie’s little wars. They were trying to maintain the empire.
My grandfather was a Colour Seargeant for the Norfolk Regiment during the Boer Wars before being posted to Ireland to suppress my father’s people.
