BITS ON SHIPS By Mike McCabe Readers with naval interests might like to look at: http://www.memorials.inportsmouth.co.uk/city-centre/active.htm AND http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/eclipes_class.htm#HMS%20Tenedos AND - for an overview of Zulu War photography henerally: http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0115%2FY3058A Small wonder that the Zulu War naval contingents were so versatile, hardy, and effective - and probably physically more robust and resilient than most of the British Infantry.
