How did the zulus fight?
Very, very bravely. A fierce, martial nation of South Africa, their great leaders were King Chaka & later Cetchewayo. (Played in the great film Zulu by Gatcha Butelezi) That these tribesmen would destroy a modern armed column as they did at Isandlwana & fight as they did on the same day at Rorkes Drift with great military skill & bravery is testament to their determination & leadership. Principally their equipment was a hide shield & a short, stabbing spear. Tactically they used envelopment, the horns surrounding their enemy to the flanks, the enemy drawn into the loins of a bull buffalo. Isanlwana & Rorkes Drift were in 1879: The latter being conspicuous in British Military History with the award of no less thn 11 VCs in one action. One man who survived the former, one Horace Smith-Dorien went on to become a General in WW1.
