	Battle of Kambula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The defences on Kambula consisted of a hexagonal laager formed with tightly locked together wagons, and a separate kraal for the cattle, constructed on the edge of the southern face of the ridge.
		As soon as the horsemen had reached Kambula, and cleared the field of fire, the British infantry open fire with support from their four 7-pounders firing shell, and then when the Zulus got closer canister shot.
		Kambula is considered as the turning point of the war, for the Zulus learnt the unhappy lesson that shield and assegai, no matter how courageously wielded, were no match for artillery and the Martini-Henry.
