Image description

The battle of Rorke’s Drift was fought in the Anglo-Zulu war in South Africa in 1879. Rorke’s Drift was a mission station, originally a farm owned by James Rorke, an Irish trader. The station, part of which had been turned into a small field hospital, was successfully defended by 141 men against an attack from about 4,000 Zulu warriors under the command of Prince Dabulamanzi, half-brother of Prince Cetshwayo. The defence of the station was commanded by Lieutenant John Chard of the Royal Engineers.
