Rorke's Drift

If anyone is interested in this. Try www.militaryhistoryonline.com/zuluwars/articles. It explains what really happened. Still a great film:thumb:

 

So tell us about it Caj, I dont seem to get much from the link.

 

All I get is

However, the bigger battle and defeat was somewhere else from what I understand. Hardly reported in the British newspapers, cause we got really stuffed. :confused:

Hi Tweaky, (male so I'm told:D)
You're right we got completely stuffed at Isandwalna. It was reported heavily in the press ( the whole column got wiped out) that's why they made such a fuss of Rorke's Drift.
Pete, there's not much point of going into it unless you're interested in History. The only thing is, if you've seen the film. Commissariat Dalton was portrayed as a wimpish character but he was the actual hero of the battle. Some reports suggest that Chard and Bromhead wanted to leg-it , hotly disputed by others but the reason the Zulus retreated was because they saw a relief force coming to assist those at Rorke's Drift. So much for the "saluting fellow braves". But still a great film:thumb:

 

Pete. A better link might be http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/19thcentury.rorkesdrift?thebattle.aspx.

Aww, Cajary-you are really trying aswell but that isn`t working either. Nevermind love thankyou anyway.

 

Fascinating. I can't post this link. Dizzi, I you're still about. Why can't I transfer this link to our site?

 

Cajary, if you you refier to my profile, I am definitely male...what are you

I suspect the link doesn't work because it ends with aspx. Would that be a link you are copying from your browser, cause it doesn't look like it to me. Or is the site members only?

But gotta say...the subject you are posting about is fascinating..honest.:thumb:

I could look into the link myself and find out, but at this time of the morning I really cant be bothered...but I will look into it tomorrow if you wish. Cheers.

 

Tweaky. As regards my sex. Malish, I think, I get confused when there are Sheep and Goats in the vinicity:D
I can't post this link for some strange reason.
If you Google Rorke's Drift. Then look for the "Military History" site, it's all there, fascinating

 

Hi Cajary,

I got there myself eventually, thankyou for keeping on trying to put up the link.
