Breakfast at the camp



The Zulu attack and the camp is overrun very quickly



It is soon all over, “The Spears are Washed”

Hi Martyn,

Right you are. It is also the 136th Anniversary of the Defence of Rorke's Drift.

Cheers, Raymond.

Today, 23rd of January, is the 136th anniversary of the successful end to the Defence of Rorke’s Drift



Mounted units from Lord Chelmsford’s force approach Rorke’s Drift



Lord Chelmsford observes the Zululand bank of the Buffalo River after arriving on the Rorke’s Drift side



Extra troops are preparing to defend the Drift but the Zulu have left the area and are returning to Ulundi



One of the defenders, Sgt Milne of the 3rd Regt “The Buffs”, has his picture taken with Zulu trophies

Here is a set you don't see very often

Set# DB001 - 24th Regt. Helmet Plate 1879 on wood shield



This was given to me by my good friend Lynn Kenwood of MKL Models who tragically passed away in October 2013. I had never seen another until last week when one was offered for sale on Ebay UK

Cheers

That's real nice keepsake, Martyn ..... a treasure made even more special as it was a gift from a good friend.

Nice piece , Martyn
Len made them for 24th regiment museum and they could be bought only in the museum. The museum send Len an original helmet, he made the mold and then this set was born . This is a story i heard. Scarce set indeed but I am not sure if it's very desirable.

Very rare version of..

SET# Z61 - WOUNDED ZULU with him holding a knobkerri




All the previous figures I have seen have him holding an assegai



The figure with the assegai was also issued in set# ZS28 - ZULUS FROM THE DRIFT as an ADD-ON set to the Big Box set THE DEFENCE OF RORKE'S DRIFT

A single figure with the assegai sold on Ebay before Christmas for just over £75 {eek3}

Cheers
