I’ve just finished writing episode 4 of the #redcoathistorypodcast - it’s all about the siege and relief of #Eshowe during the #anglozuluwar - an almost forgotten drama of the war. A few years ago I was lucky enough to visit the site of the Deserted Norwegian mission station that became the centre of the British defensive position. Over a thousand men were crammed into a small area - barely able to go beyond the walls for more than short forays. Illness and exhaustion took their toll as the enemy roamed the area around stopping any supplies and reinforcements from being able to get through. I’ll post more about this and the battles that proceeded it once the podcasts are released. Watch this space. ...#history #militaryhistory #britisharmy #army #veterans #instahistory #instamilitary #military #battlefield #combat http://bit.ly/2HVJc9n -- source link
