Lieutenant Colonel Durnford (with pistol on left) attempts to hold a road open for the fugitives. I thought Burt Lancaster did a swell job !
Two of my favorite movies were ZULU 1964 and ZULU DAWN 1979. I wanted to capture the chaotic last moments of the British Camp at Isandlwana.
The brave infantry go down swinging. Not a single redcoated trooper reached the Buffalo river in the rush to safety.
SAVING THE GUNS. They didn,t get very far. Both British cannon were hauled back to Ulundi by hand.
Many thanks to Mr. Salles.
