Battle Story: Rorke's Drift 1879 - Edmund Yorke - Bog

On 22 January 1879 a 20,000-strong Zulu army decimated the British camp at Isandlwana. However, this small, but stalwart group of brave British soldiers withstood this overwhelming force over the next forty-eight hours and ultimately repelled them in a British victory that has been immortalised in books and film.
