Just a personal reminiscence on Kenneth Griffith, whom I first met in the mid 1980s. I had the pleasure of visiting him a few times in the last couple of years at his home in north London and on one o ...

Oh - now I am confused - had you popped in to see me? The guy at the Museum said you'd just left as you'd come to see someone who was over from SA. Never connected you might mean me.

Thanks Mike - had a long day at the office, so will run your reply off and have a good read and come back with any queries. Off the top of my head on Durnford, I've always thought the fact that he die ...

This isn't intended to a plug - more a public service announcement:

I have briefly mentioned this once before some time ago on the forum, but Ian Knight is doing an entire weekend course on the Ang ...

Thanks David - must admit I'm surprised by John Laband's stance on this, but as you have eluded to, I've no problem with the debate - it's how the 'Chelmsford was lured out of the camp' theory suddenl ...

Must admit to having got my copy of 'Zulu Vanquished' in Foyle's earlier this week.

Haven't got got stuck into it yet, but couldn't understand the sentence in David Rattray's foreword:

Julian - maybe it's just a feeling from the tone of your comments on this thread, but are there other scenario(s) regarding Isandlwana you want to postulate?

I recall sitting in a very interesting ...

Just to let everyone know that 28-30 April 2006, Ian Knight is doing an entire weekend on the above subject at Missenden Abbey in Bucks.

Missenden Abbey is a residential adult education centre, and ...

Strangely enough I'm just on page 38 of Mike Snook's 'How Can Man Die Better' - see Julian Whybra topic, and was also intrigued by Hamilton-Browne name revelation, but a couple of pages before Mike me ...
