Rorke's Drift & Isandlwana 1879: A Battlefield Guide
On 22 January 1879 a powerful British column invading Zululand was decisively defeated beneath a hill called Isandlwana. Later on the same day, 4, 000 Zulus attacked a garrison of no more than 100 British troops at the mission station at Rorke’s Drift, only a few miles from Isandlwana. The British held out against all reasonable expectations, eventually beating off their attackers and winning eleven Victoria Crosses between them.
