The seventh, Sergeant Maxfield, 2nd Battalion 24th Regiment, was delirious from fever. Although they had previously dressed him, they were un- able to induce him to move. When Private Robert Jones returned to endeavour to carry him away, he found him being stabbed by the Zulus as he lay on his bed. 2nd Battalion 24th Corporal William Allen and It was chiefly due to the courageous conduct of Regiment Private Frederick Hitch these men that communication with the hospital was kept up at all. Holding together at all costs a most dangerous post, raked in re- verse by the enemy's fire from the hill, they were both severely wounded, but their de- termined conduct enabled the patients to be withdrawn from the hospital, and when incapaci- tated by their wounds from fighting, they con- tinued, as soon as their wounds had been dressed, to serve out ammunition to their comrades during the night.

Depleted by injuries and fielding only ten men for much of the second half, the English outclassed and outfought the Australians in what quickly became known as the " Rorke's Drift Test ". More Zulus are estimated to have died in this way than in Rorkes Drift, but the executions were hushed up to preserve Rorke's Drift's image as a bloody but clean fight between two forces which saluted the other's courage. However, the force turned out to be the vanguard of Lord Chelmsford 's relief column. Documents have been uncovered which show that Rorke's Drift was the scene of an atrocity - a war crime, in today's language - which Britain covered up. The surviving patients were rescued after soldiers hacked holes in the walls separating the rooms, and dragged them through and into the barricaded yard. The British garrison set to fortifying the mission station. These regiments had not been involved in the battle and looked for a way to join in the success.

  • Zulu War Victoria Cross Holders Brian Best ______
    Zulu War Victoria Cross Holders Brian Best __________________________________________________________________________________________ The Victoria Cross - the ultimate accolade, Britain’s highest honour for bravery in battle. The award that has an awesome mystique. There is something brooding about the dark bronze of the medal with its dull crimson ribbon that sets it apart from the glittering silver and colourful ribbons of other awards. The medals were awarded for acts performed in terrifying and bloody circumstances; the tunnel vision of spontaneous bravery in saving a helpless comrade; the calculated act because there was no alternative or that the risk is worth taking. There may have been a handful that deliberately sought the highest decoration but, to the great majority, a medal was the last thing to be considered in the mind-numbing heat of battle. After the hero was feted by a grateful nation, the Victoria Cross could bring it’s own problems for its recipient. The qualities that made a man a hero in battle could elude him in times of peace. Of the 1,354 men who have won the VC, 19 committed suicide, far higher than the national average, although almost all were Victorian. About the same number have died in suspect circumstances (see Cecil D’Arcy). Many fell on hard times and died in abject poverty, having sold their hard earned Cross for a pittance. Most officer recipients, in contrast, prospered, as did many other ranks who were held in high esteem by their neighbours. To some men, the Cross changed their lives for the better while others could not come to terms with it’s constant reminder of nightmarish events.

  • The Victorian Pictures in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen
    The Victorian Pictures in the collection of Her Majesty The Queen. The Defence of Rorke’s Drift. Oliver Millar _______________________________________________________________________________________ St. James’s Palace (Buckingham Palace no. 3350. 119.4 by 211.5 cm, 47 by 83 in. Item 186. Signed and dated 18 EB 80. In No. 186 the Zulus are attacking the north-west corner of the outer perimeter of the station, which at that point rested on a rock ledge. The roof of the hospital in the background has caught fire. For the identification of the figures, see below. In recognition of the heroism displayed by the defenders, eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded; Chard and Bromhead were promoted to brevet Major. Painted for Queen Victoria who had, according to the artist, asked her, through Sir Henry Ponsonby, if she would paint for her ‘a subject to be taken from a war of her own reign’. Although urged by her friends to take ‘Rorke’s Drift’ as a subject, she first proposed to the Queen the finding of the body of the Prince Imperial. This was at first approved by the Queen and Mrs Butler began to plan the composition; but she received a message that the Queen thought it better not to paint that subject and she was therefore compelled ‘to chose the popular Rorke’s Drift’. (1) The commission from the Queen was also discussed in letters between Sir Henry Ponsonby and his wife. On 7 June1879 Ponsonby wrote that the Queen wanted two pictures of scenes from the Zulu War, but that Mrs Butler was only to do one: ‘none equal to her for English soldiers’.

  • Extracts Relating to the Zulu War of 1879
    EXTRACTS RELATING TO THE ZULU WAR OF 1879 From THE GRAPHIC, AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, JANUARY TO DECEMBER 1879 EDITOR’S NOTE The extracts in the following pages were made during 2003/4 from my complete collection of original editions of The Graphic, covering the period January to December 1879. Care has been taken to extract every reference having a bearing, directly or indirectly, on the Zulu War. The spelling of personal and place names is the same as used in the original, but there has also been a very wide variety of general spellings, from various journalists. So, for the purpose of clarification of place names, a list of their modern equivalent is set out below. By way of an appendix I have included a treatise on The Zulu Army compiled in 1879 by direction of Lord Chelmsford. A copy of which was made available to me by courtesy of the Durban Municipal Library. It is hoped that a further file of The Graphic pictures can be added to this section in due course.

  • A Brief History of the Town of Fairhaven [Max Edited]
    Edited by: Max Isaksen 18 April 2018 Any corrections please contact. TOWN HALL – DEDICATED FEBRUARY 22, 1894 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE Town of Fairhaven MASSACHUSETTS PREPARED IN CONNECTION WITH THE CELEBRATION OF OLD HOME WEEK JULY 26-31, 1903. BY JAMES L. GILLINGHAM CYRUS D. HUNT LEWIS S. JUDD, JR. GEORGE H. TRIPP PREFACE This book has been prepared by the Committee on Town History of the Fairhaven Old Home Week Association in obedience to instructions from the Executive Committee of the Association. The recital of the story of its origin, progress, natural beauties, accessible locations, municipal improvements, and educational opportunities is made in the earnest hope that it will invite the capitalist, the artisan, the tradesman, the person of leisure, and the man of family to become a resident. If this brief sketch of a notable past and a live and active present shall create a closer acquaintanceship between its sons and daughters, who have gone forth and made their homes elsewhere, and those who remain in the old town it will have served a worthy end. The committee express their obligations to all who have assisted with information for the preparation of these pages, and especially to C. D. Waldron, Edward G. Spooner, Herbert D. Burke, Helen B. Copeland, Joseph G. Tirrell, and Henry W. Taber for the loan of negatives, photographs, and cuts for the illustration of this book.

  • Question for SOCME Some Comments on Returns for the ECE
    Question for SOCME December 31, 2010 by metric345 Can you please inform me what has been the outcome of the July public enquiry into the Mynydd y Gwair fiasco? The sequence of cold winters shows that there is no global warming, and that turbines are useless in the type of weather we have experienced recently, weeks of sub zero temperatures with little wind. Local, clean burning, anthracite is available in abundance and the coal mining industry is very much alive here in South Wales. I have been fighting this proposal for years and have objected formally several times, many hundreds of times on my diary here. I showed a long time ago that the mathematics of global warming are ludicrously simplistic at best, incorrect at worst. When one goes into the mathematics and physics of the previous century (www.aias.us), they have a tendency to fall apart. Have you a line of defence in place based on a series of legal injunctions to stop the development and its illegal destruction of environment? This should be organized along the lines of a US class action, possibly with a lawyer willing to provide services free of charge. There should be a Land Act to evict the Duke of Beaufort and to eliminate absentee ownership of land in Wales and to restrict private ownership to say no more than five hundred acres. The huge Trawsgoed Estate in mid Wales (45,000 acres) has just fallen apart, and with it the vestiges of mediaeval despotism. The Council is failing at present even to keep local roads open, pleading no money despite savage taxation, and is failing to collect refuse.

    ON THE CARDS READING & DISTRICT CIGARETTE CARD AND POSTCARD CLUB ISSUE No.5 (OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2012) 2012 RIVERMEAD FAIR SPECIAL EDITION RIVERMEAD FAIR 2012 PHOTO-GALLERY (PHOTOS BY LIZ TEBBUT) THE ENTRANCE TABLE WELCOMING COMMITTEE BRIAN DOES HIS ELVIS IMPERSONATION! MARGARET ADMIRES THE DISPLAY CHAIRMAN’S REPORT What a resounding success our Club Fair was this year! Many dealers and collectors have commented on how much they enjoyed the day. There was a ‘buzz’ about the place that seemed to last right up until the Fair ended. The success of the event was facilitated by the hard work from everyone involved in helping to organize it. Roy and Geoff did a superb job arranging the event (Geoff deserves a big pat on the back for his handling of the last minute dealer booking changes and Roy, in particular, excelled himself in the publicity department – Editor). Also to be commended for their hard work are John Cahill (Guardian of The Sweetie Box!) and his efficient team on the competition stand; Christine and her efficient assistants on the entrance table; Bryan Clark who is taking over from Geoff next year and is getting to know the dealers; and Liz who took some marvelous photographs. My grateful thanks goes to them and to all those who helped during the day. Having Mrs Mary Bayliss, the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, presenting the prizes was a great coup for our club. Brian Lund was very surprised at being presented with a bottle of Champagne, and a signed congratulations card, from the Reading Club on his and Mary’s admirable achievement on reaching Issue No.

    The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles An addendum to The SAMS Sporran April 2012 Due to the length of this month’s article there will be no American History Section. Scottish History ​The Battle at Rorke’s Drift It was the summer between my junior and senior year and my friend Don and I decided to “take in a movie.” So we walked to downtown Hamilton (One might refer to it as the local shopping center. But it was way more than that. It was THE shopping district for the whole area and everybody went there. It was a distance of about a mile. Which really didn’t mean much to us at that time because we walked everywhere. Don said the movie was called Zulu. “What's it ​ ​ about? I asked.” “It's supposed to be a good war movie” was his response. We bought our tickets and found some ‘good’ seats. Now this is a phrase you’ll likely never hear again in your lifetime; “Remember where we came in.” An hour or two later it would be followed by, “Is this where we came in?” Way back then, when you bought your ticket it entitled you to stay in the movie theatre as long as you wanted. They showed the same movie all day long with newsreels and cartoons in between showings. So you might arrive somewhere in the middle of the movie and after the movie ended, you stayed to watch the beginning of the movie. It could give you interesting insights into how movies were made and how characters and the plot developed.
