Best Answer

The battle of Rorkes Drift was fought between 3000 Zulu warriors and only 100 British troops, and the British, Australian, Dutch soldiers Fought to the last 12 Men.

The Zulu soldiers Stopped and Honored Them with a Chant from on top of the Hill Just like in the Movie. So no side one, For if the Zulu had Charged One more time they would Have wiped Them all Out.

All were Awarded the Victoria Cross
