Trophy - zulu war sets (1 Viewer)

[GICOP]

January 1879

A Naval Brigade contingent from HMS Active fire their rockets at a group of Zulu spotted across the Inyezane River.

The rocket used by the Naval Brigade was the 24 pounder Hale’s rocket. It had been adopted by the military in 1867. The Hale’s rocket’s stabilization was produced by a rotation of the rocket itself. This was accomplished by three metal vanes that deflected the rocket’s exhaust, causing the rocket to spin in a manner similar to a bullet leaving a rifled barrel.
