Trophy - zulu war sets (3 Viewers)

[Buster]

The Battle of Gingindlovu was fought on 2 April 1879

Among the British forces present were the 60th Rifles and Naval Brigade , which included the Royal Marine Light Infantry and sailors from HMS Shah and HMS Boadicea. The Naval Brigade had several Gatling guns and Rocket Battery. The Naval Brigade Rocket Battery were different to the Royal Artillery version, the NB used tubes whereas the RA used troughs.

The two Rocket tubes in action, commanded by Lieutenant Cane of the “Shah”

Wagons - WBritain

Rocket tubes - GICOP

Cheers

Here are the 60th Rifles, with their Commanding Officer Colonel F.V.Northey who lost his life in the action

These are soldiers of the Royal Marine Light Infantry

Some of the sailors from HMS Shah (recruited from Little Legion)

Somebody should tell that guy - to move his box of fireworks Martyn! The backblast from those tubes is going to be a problem!

I'm pretty sure that the "Fireworks" in question were far more powerful than those!

For the sake of completeness - and if you ever consider making up a trough type of launcher - here's another pic for you.^&grin{sm3}
