NNMC Mounted Sgt. Simeon Khambula, a native scout attached to Col Durnford's 2nd Column, was credited for opening up "The Fugitive's Trail" for the escaping British and colonials from the carnage at Isandlwana. A number of Imperial officers (four) and others made it through, though none wearing red, for King Cetshwayo had given orders to kill all the "redcoats" As the escapees got to the Buffalo River, the gauntlet of Zulus became almost impenetrable. At the drift in the river, men who couldn't swim made last stands at the riverbank and on the cliffs above.
The place would soon be know as "Fugitives Drift".

And make it up the fugitive trail, tell Chard & Bromhead to kiss their rubber duckies and hightail it all the way back to Helpmaaker!
Thanks KGV!

Randy,
Thanks for posting. William Lloyd was one of two premier artist-soldiers in the Zulu War, the other being Chelmsford's ADC, Crealock. Both have been studied to compare what they sketched and what really happened, and both were very accurate!

Do you have David Rattray's book about Lloyd?

Lloyd was in India in the 1890s for the P&O Steam Ship Line and I am including his illustrations done on the Asian subcontinent in my Colonial India thread.

Another excellent photo Lt. !!!! I'm sure your mate from the 24th has a fighting chance against those Zulu warriors As great of chance as my W. Britain bazooka team (By the way, excellent sculp Ken!!!) has against my Tiger Tank

Randy,
Not yet, but it is in my plans for world domination. Rattray compiled a lot of the earlier sketches done by LLoyd in "79 and '80 that were published in the early '80s.

Randy & Lt.,
I'm going to refer to this backdrop as the "Donga Back" Maybe Damian can correct me, I feel it's perfect for one of those big dongas!
