Hi

Happy Christmas

I do not know if this has been asked before or if it is a book anywhere but Harford mentions a warrior of his NNIC company being shot in the thigh that resulted in broken leg during the attack at Sihayo�s stronghold.

Would this fellow be the same as Hook's Natal Native patient at Rorke�s Drift?

Cheers

Sime

He is often described in accounts of the battle at Rorke's Drift as having been a "friendly" Zulu wounded in the leg in the earlier attack on Sihayo's stonghold, so it seems unlikely that they're not the same man. Sorry I can't be more definite.
