Martyn,
Very nice! If you have not already, I would recommend picking up a copy of Ron Lock's and Peter Quantrill's The 1879 Zulu War ILN Comp!

The Zulus are goaded into attacking the fortified position at Kambula by the Mounted Infantry riding out and firing point blank into their ranks.

I think the 24th need it they have been busy guys and have managed to spread across the globe I think the 17th Lancers are chomping at the bit and want to get their horses out for a bit of a gallop

Martyn,
Before the Lancers, get those Kings Royal Rifle Corps out for the Eshowe rescue!
Great stuff!
