I have always taken the view that both the Chatham and KCL map sets were largely pre-marked before (in the KCL case) being taken to South Africa by tracing from a body of word prepared by Anstey/Penro ...

Peter,
Obviously, the reference is retrospective and refers to much earlier events.

PQ,
Apropos of not much, you quoted (above)
�Next morning I conducted Sir Redvers [Buller] over the battlefield of Isandwhlwana(sic) which he had never seen, and we had the story told by combatan ...

Peter (PQ),
You have written above:
"This surely makes Wood�s version of the battle more than plausible".
Where is this version provided? As far as we can determine safely Wood sim ...

Peter,
My argument is that TMFH1 is a composed piece of work in its own right. If you like, a building block argument and thesis.

Being very willing to be thought boring on this point, I cast back to my earliest post on this in the belief that it would now be even better were we to break out this discussion into two distinct par ...

I really do look forward to hearing from whomever takes on the task of telling Mike Snook which Ronnie he is!

Mike,
Pragmatically, and like many others, I can see how the broad wisdoms of most deduced battle narratives are arrived at, and moreso the more recent ones that have not been dominated or skewed b ...

We could of course declare a truce on whimsy, pie throwing and any propensity towards triviality. For a while, anyhow.
Meanwhile, I do agree with you on the interpretation of ground terms. One of ...

Presumably, the observational qualities of subalterns in his own Regiment are being held in mind here.

Hmmmm!
If 'traditional' assessments of the actual and relative positioning of Cavaye/Mostyyn/Dyson/the NNC on the Mkwene-Tahelane feature are not based on the camp map published in The Narrative, the ...

Chris,

Chris,
In the politest way imaginable could I ask if you could possibly see your way to put your topic material in a better ordered place. Perhaps as chit chat or a new topic.
At least half of t ...

I say surprisingly early because it is fairly unlikely that the NGobamakhosi move forward was triggered by any action by Shepstone et al. Ergo, they too were very probably already moving forward as t ...
