Note 78 — THE ZULU WAR, 1879.

Some time after, a Zulu chief in speaking of the battle at Isandhlwana, said: “The red soldiers killed many of us with their bayonets; when they found we were upon them, they turned back to back. They all fought till they died, they were hard to kill. Not one tried to escape.” Another said: “Ah, those red soldiers, how few they were, and how they fought! They fell like stones, each man in his place.”
