    That two man night time scouting mission must've been quite unnerving especially knowing thousands of enemy soliders are near. Dunn's near discovery was hair raising and his return across the river to his companion certainly was a breath of fresh air for them. Night with mist is the perfect combination for a swarming ambush.

      Scouting is much easier in small teams because the chabce of them sending out a platoon to catch a couple scouts is not only dangerous for ambushes but also way too slow to ever catch

      Most Zulus had heard and seen firearms before. Indeed most of them possessed a firearm, usually an old musket, in the war of 1879. But I do take the point that no warrior before the start of the 1879 war had faced massed firepower of a European enemy before. the last time Zulu army had done was against the Boers in the late 1830s.

    It appears that the British learned their lesson from Isandlwana and were prepared for the Zulu in this battle with defense of wagons around their camp. British firepower held the Zulus at bay. British held their ground, Chelmsford recovers from the loss at Isandlwana and restored British fortunes.

    Anyone else wondering what happened to the 10 year old that got captured? Thrust into the middle of a horrible battle at such a tender age and surviving a crazy charge like that! Then taken in by the English navy to sail the seas. I wonder what became of him after that and how long he lived and whatnot. That would make for an epic biography and/or screenplay no?

      The “narrator” will be an AI voice, surely - voicing a script - which is why some of the pronunciations are all over the place & why they also vary inconsistently throughout the narration - depending on the exact punctuation & abbreviations that are used in different parts of the script.
