After watchin ZULU on Classic movies last night- the following qns come to mind:
a) WI the outpost at Rorke's Drift had been overrun by the Zulus ?
OR b) WI Lord Chelmsford's column hadn't been surrounded & defeated at Isandhlwana ?
c) Rorke's Drift was an event where the largest no. of VCs was awarded for a single engagement- 11 in all amongst the surviving members of the South Wales Borders garrison 120-odd strong (which of course were mostly awarded out of Imperial desire to defelct public attention to the disaster at Isandhlwana)- what other poss battle could've rivalled such a great no. of VCs being awarded ?
