14th December 2001 | Edward Crites Great site. Lots of good information. I like many others very much enjoy the movie 'ZULU'. Thanks for the true history involved with the battle and the bravery of the men. |
14th December 2001 | michael c. sanders awesome site, chock full on information..i hope to one day visit wales and scotland as well as england, once again GREAT site, thank you. |
13th December 2001 | John Snider Excellent site. Zulu is my favorite movie of all time. I am fascinated by the story of the bravery exhibited. |
11th December 2001 | Mick Jackson Very well constructed site. 'ZULU' was the first ever film that I saw at the cinema. Since then I have been interested in the Zulu wars and especially the defence of Rorkes Drift. I remember when I was in 5 Fld Squadron RE, commenorating Rorkes Drift Day, It used to be the day of the Squadron photograpgh. I always wonder if they stil do that? |
11th December 2001 | STEVE BROWN Great site, very interesting I had a great grandfather who was a member of the 24th foot. My old mum still remembers talking to him when he was an old man in his bed. his last job in life was as a grave digger in Cardiff. I have been to Brecon many years ago, but we think he may have served under another name. I like a lot of other members of the Australia Army have had the movie ZULU shown to us over and over, never get sick of it.
Carry on the good work Taffy's |
10th December 2001 | Dr. David Wachtel I agree with Lena's comments. I first saw the movie Zulu while home on leave from the Air Force. I was preparing to go to Taiwan for a one year duty. My mother set me up with a blind date. I took her to the drive-in movie near our house (Niagara Falls, NY). I proceeded to watch the movie and not lay a hand on my date. She told my mother that she thought I was wierd because all I did was watch the movie and not pay any attention to her. Needless to say, I never saw her again but have seen the movie so many times that I know the dialog. People in my office groan whenever they talk about a movie and I tell them that it may be a good movie but it is not as good as "Zulu". I have actually had a Zulu Party where I introduce the uninitiated to the movie.
Great fun and a great movie |
8th December 2001 | Keith Lawson I been lucky enough to visit Rourke's Drift. It is a beautiful place and I can imagine the defenders before the action wondering why they should travel all the way to such a place only to die.
There was so little cover for a running Zulu I could only be amazed at their courage in throwing themselves at the walls.

8th December 2001 | Lena Valdes The part of me that is not dying of jealousy over your trip to Africa, is really grateful for this website. When the movie Zulu first came out, I saw it four times in a row. It is still the best movie ever made, and to see photos of all the places is just incredible. Thank you. |
8th December 2001 | Cpl Kevin Burn I'm a member of 5 Field Squadron Royal Engineers (Chard's unit). Researching the battle, which the squadron commemorates each year. |
8th December 2001 | David Squires What a marvellous site. Packed with information. |
7th December 2001 | David Bluestein I had heard that a remake of the movie "ZULU" was in production? Has any one ever heard anything of this possible rumor? Thanks |
6th December 2001 | Skip Tusa I watched "Zulu" on TV last night (about 20th time) and I still have difficulty in
comprehending the tenacity of the British troops at Rorkes Drift. |
5th December 2001 | David Bluestein Researching 1875 Pte. James Bull 1/24th Regt. Killed at the Battle of Isandlwana January 22nd 1879. If you can help please write. Thanks |
5th December 2001 | Steve Davy A very interesting site, where does your information on the fate of the drummer boys come from? I have read this account in "Like Lions They Fought", but assumed it was propaganda of the time.
Having visited the Royal Armoury at Leeds on several occasions, I was privileged on one visit to see a re-enactment of a solider of Rokes Drift. On speaking to him after his performance (he did get a little carried away) I noted that he appeared to be wearing an excellent imitation 24th foot Tunic complete with Sphinx�s on the collar. He advised me that this was a genuine Tunic from the campaign, are you able to confirm this?
