Here we go again - must be nearly a year since the last! This is the easiest ever, so will have to be followed up by something much harder ...

Q: Why was Bromhead's black boast such a grave matter for O'Connell?

P.S. I see JY hovering, so if he sees this before leaving the site, it won't last seconds! Perhaps I'll hold off posting for a few minutes ...

During Sept 1879, Major C J Bromhead reburied exposed remains at Isandlwana following Lt Col Blacks burial attempt in June. Lt O'Connell carried out a further reburial in Feb 1880. Alfred Boast carried out yet another reburial in 1883.

Too easy for you, Mel!

Perfect excuse for a tougher one now ...! (When I think of one).
