Hi Coll,
I am pretty sure these images are to be found in the Osprey Campaign series publication, 'Isandlwana', by Ian K. If memory serves, Vereker is depicted in full dress as the native trooper reproaches him for taking his mount. Hope that's of some help. All the best, Glenn |

Yes, that may be the one, as I no longer have a copy. I've marked it down. Thanks. Coll |

Do you happen to know if an illustration exists of the incident where Surgeon-Major Shepherd tries to assist an injured Natal Carbineer ? I've also been trying to trace a picture of a man on horseback saluting Col. Pulleine lying dead on the ground after Isandlwana. I'd appreciate any sources where I can find other less well-known illustrations of the battle at Isandlwana, of the same detail, which would help me clearly visualise specific scenes, as well as other events ? I know several must exist, but I'm not sure where to look. Thankyou. Coll |

Coll,
Can't say I know of any image with Peter Shepherd & George MacLeroy, and I think I would should one exist as I know the great-great nephews of both men, and neither of them has ever mentioned it. George Hamilton Browne saluting Henry Pulleine's body from A Lost Legionary in South Africa. I've got a number of less well-known illustrations of the events at Isandlwana, I'll try and do some more before I head off to SA. John Y. |

Thanks very much for your time and help. The illustration showing Hamilton-Browne saluting Pulleine really stayed in my mind from the first time I saw it a few years back, but I'm not sure where this was, as I've never had the book 'A Lost Legionary In South Africa.' It's such a wonderful image, I don't know why it isn't more well-known, and in more AZW titles. Was it based on a true incident ? The illustration titled 'Isandula : The National Sorrow', I've definitely never seen. Thanks again. Coll PS. Good to see you back ! |

If you have (or have seen) a copy of Ian Kight's By the Orders of the Great White Queen, this may be where you have remembered the illustration from Lost Legionary, as Ian reproduced it in that publication. Peter |
