But, while Chelmsford and about half his men were away trying to intercept a Zulu force, the camp was hit by a surprise attack.
When the Viscount returned the next day, the area was strewn with bodies: of the 1600 troops, all but 55 Europeans and 300 natives had been killed.
Zulu Victory describes in fascinating detail the men, and the conditions under which they served, of Chelmsford's army: the red coats, white colonials and fl conscripts; equal detail is given to the warriors and the disciplined regiments of King Cetshwayo.
