Victory From Disaster: Last Stand at Rorke’s Drift

On 22nd January 1879 in the far flung reaches of the British Empire, a redcoated sentry stood watch. He wasn’t to know it, but at that very moment just a few miles away, the last of more than 1300 of his comrades, surrounded and outnumbered, were being cut down by an unstoppable enemy. In the hours to come, 4000 warriors of that great Zulu army would appear over the horizon and launch a series of brutal assaults against this small outpost in a fight that has gone down in history as the Battle of Rorke’s Drift.
