 Isandhlwana
Lord Chelmsford's force numbered nearly 18,000 British regulars, Natal auxiliaries, volunteers, and irregulars; including a number of Boers who had fought Zulus for years and were well aware of their fighting prowess.
Lord Chelmsford's force was a modern army, with modern weapons (including a brace of rocket launchers that were frightening if terribly inaccurate), about to engage a primitive enemy.
It was inconceivable to Chelmsford that the Zulus would attack such a formidable force, and even if they did, the disciplined concentrated fire of his troops would keep the enemy too far away to use their assegais or iKlawa.

Per LORD WESTBURY:- To suppose that for a change of domicil there must be a change of natural allegiance is to confound the political and the civil status, and to destroy the distinction between patria and domicilium.
Per LORD WESTBURY:- It is a settled principle that no man shall be without a domicil; and to secure this end the law attributes to every individual as soon as he is born the domicil of his father if the child be legitimate, and the domicil of his mother if the child be illegitimate.
Per THE LORD CHANCELLOR:- The status of the child, with respect to its capacity to be legitimated by the subsequent marriage of its parents, depends wholly on the status of the putative father, not on that of the mother.

Lord Chelmsford was somewhat unlucky in that his military reputation was to be permanently sullied by his being surprised at Isandhlwana.
Lord Chelmsford’s main problem was to ensure that the Zulu impi would commit itself to a decisive battle and would not slip past his groping column to invade Natal, and it was for this reason that he split his force of nearly 17,000 troops into five columns and invaded Zululand by three routes.
Lord Chelmsford planned for a campaign of from six to eight weeks in which he hoped to destroy the enemy in a number of pitched battles.

The two amendments that have been put so well by the noble Viscount, Lord Chelmsford, and the noble Baroness, Lady Nicholson of Winterbourne, both deal with the same topic; namely, there is no definition in the Bill of the word "consent".
The first proposal, that made by the noble Viscount, Lord Chelmsford, seeks to give a partial definition of consent in a particular set of circumstances, which in effect means accepting a standard form approved by the commissioner.
On Second Reading, I thought I understood the noble and learned Lord to say that his initial feeling--and I will not hold him to this--was that a clause or a box in a proposal form would probably be acceptable, but that perhaps a clause in an employment contract was not.

Because of poor roads and the unwieldy wagons, it took Lord Chelmsford 10 days to make the passage from Rorke's Drift to the foot of Isandlwana, where he arrived on 20 January 1879.
Since Chelmsford's plan was for a quick strike toward the Zulu Royal Kraal at Ulundi, he considered his camp temporary, and did not follow the advice of Paul Kruger and other Boers to form a wagon-laager, a standard Boer tactic when fighting against the Zulus.
On 22 January, responding to Dartnell's report, Chelmsford split his main force and accompanied an additional 1600 troops to support those already in the field, leaving approximately 1800 men, including the 24th Warwickshires, to guard the camp.
