Once more the Zulus proved they were worthy adversaries. Having said that, the battle of Hlobane was a disaster of the British own making. Poor scouting by the commander, Sir Evelyn Wood, meant that Colonel Redvers Buller was effectively attacking the Zulus mountain stronghold blind. That poor scouting also failed to spot a Zulu army numbering over 20,000 approaching the British. In many respects, the defeat could have been a lot worse. 5 Victoria Crosses were awarded for acts of bravery during a terryfinig restreat off the mountain down a 150 foot steep rock face. The battle of hlobane was the third victory for the Zulus in this war. It was also to be their last.

Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today. History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens. So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life. My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you.
