Britain's Zulu War (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

As always, thanks for the great comments on the pictures guys: Joe, Vick, Scott, Michael, Titus, Brian, Martyn. Here are some pictures of my whole Zulu collection to date.

By 1700 hours it was apparent to Lt. Chard that it was no longer possible to defend the north wall in front of the hospital - the weakest part of the mealie bag barricade. As more an more Zulus climbed over the obstacle, Chard ordered a withdrawal of the defenders to the secondary mealie bag wall that "dog-legged" over to the Hospital's east wall. By 1745 the Zulus were in control of the ground in front of the Hospital and its veranda.

Wonderful Mike, Britains Zulu Wars figures are amazing fun. I need to get mine all set up and take a few snaps.

You'll get there Jeff. Just remember "TTT" Things Take Time. As far as the photography skills - I have none - the camera does it all .

Vick, the last time I was at Gettysburg I was in a Confederate uniform for 6 days re-enacting the 135th anniversary of the battle. By the end of 6 days of "campaigning" without bathing I smelled like a wet sheep at shearing time Co E 52nd Va Infantry HooRah

I'll have to build it first Joe After that, I'd have to build the next "fall back to" location - the biscuit box wall. We need a commissary store building - perhaps soon????

For somebody that claims to have a cheap camera, , you're getting some really clear shots.

That is the biggest Knockberry club I have ever seen.

That would be the contra bass Knockberry Club

Here's a background scenic I haven't used yet - thought I would give it a go. Its a picture from central Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal. The picture's original title was "Gathering Storm". An appropriate title wouldn't you say, especially with the two Zulu warriors in the foreground. Two color versions are provided for your viewing.
