Sorry if this has been asked before, but not been able to turn it up in search. Does anyone have a map of the battlefield without troop markings etc on it?

A question on tentage, how many tents did the HQ area hold and Medical section, and how many tents did a company have.
thank you

I remember both of these subjects being discussed, but I'm afraid I don't know under which topics.

Regarding maps without troop movements marked, there was mention of ordnance survey (is that the right name ?) maps of this area and Rorke's Drift (I think), being available in different scales. Someone may be able to supply details of where you can obtain them. Not sure if an unmarked map of Isandlwana appears in any AZW books, most showing troop deployments.

As for the tents, details were given on a topic (recently?) about the amount of tents which would have been required at Isandlwana camp, but specifics, I know not.

Not much help, but possibly someone else will remember the above and give you more detailed answers.
