Follow the trail of Lord Chelmsford's ill-fated, Central Column as they cross the Umzinyathi River at Rorke's Drift and invade Zululand. See the hills where they skirmished with Sihayo's warriors before finally making camp at Isandlwana on 20th January. Follow the events that lead to the Zulu attack on the 22nd January and the massacre of some 1400 Imperial troops and Native levies on that fateful day. Let us show you the fearful trail taken by the fugitives in their desperate flight back to Natal. Visit the Mission station at Rorke's Drift defended so heroically by the men of "B" company 2/24th Regiment as they fought a desperate 12 hour battle against fearful odds earning 11 Victoria Crosses in the process. |
