The Battle of Isandlwana and the Battle of Rorke’s Drift occurred on consecutive days.
Not quiet. The Zulu warriors that attacked Rorks Drift,
had been part of the Zulu force that overran the British forces at Isandlwana. These men did not get into the that fight. So they decided to attack the British at Rorks Drift. Their attack started late in the afternoon of the same day as Isandlwana, and lasted through the night and into the next day.
