Fought in 1879, the war between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom was a series of particularly bloody battles that have gone down in the annals of colonial warfare. At the Battle of Isandlwana British forces lost more than 1,300 of their 1,800 troops, and the defence of the British outpost at Rorke’s Drift has become a key moment in British military history.
Exploring the extraordinary events and giving insight into the heroic actions of those awarded the Victoria Cross for their actions, this special Remembrance Tour includes a fascinating after-dinner talk, visit to the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh, and personal stories told at the graves of those who fought on the battlefields of Zululand.
