The defence of the mission station at Rorke's Drift became the epic action of the Anglo-Zulu war. A small garrison defended this border-post for ten hours, and in the process won a record number of VCs.

The heroic defence of the mission station at Rorke's Drift became the epic action of the Anglo-Zulu War. A small garrison defended this valuable border-post for ten hours and in the process won the northern sector at Ntcombe Drift, Hlobane and Khambula. Essential reading for those who wish to learn the facts rather than the myths of this legendary stand.
