The Battle of Rorke's Drift | Zulus Vs British | Total War Cinematic Battle

The Battle of Rorke's Drift, also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was an engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War. The successful British defence of the mission station of Rorke's Drift, under the command of Lieutenants John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Gonville Bromhead, of the 24th Regiment of Foot began when a large contingent of Zulu warriors broke off from the main force during the final hour of the British defeat at the day-long Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, diverting 6 miles (9.7 km) to attack Rorke's Drift later that day and continuing into the following day.
Just over 150 British and colonial troops defended the station against attacks by 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive but piecemeal attacks by the Zulu on Rorke's Drift came very close to overwhelming the much smaller garrison, but were consistently repelled. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to individual defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours.

It was reported that the fire from the burning buildings lit up the area so bright, that the British garrison was able to spot the attacking Zulus at night, in fact, the soldiers said that this was a saving grace.

I visited Rorkes Drift in 2008 on a guided tour and the guide who was an expert on the subject verified what you mention regarding the fire.

It was Isandlewana in reverse. The British played their defense cards strongly. Apparently the Zulu King was outraged when he learned that his forces had crossed the border into Natal because it gave London carte blanche to intervene far more.

[@sqnhunter]

Considering the Zulu king actually wanted to sue for peace after Isandlewana, as he had shown his strength and control, he would have been infuriated that the British returned much stronger and used much harsher tactics than he would himself. His whole plan was stuffed up by Rorkes ridge catastrophe! Both home teams were smaller..... but comparable with Isandlewana. The only difference was location and better commanders... We cant even say better trained troops, really. Just better leadership!

The film Zulu was spectacular cinema entertainment for the masses. But why did it need a Yank, Cy Endfied to write the screenplay & co-Direct it? Whatever reason, he made a cracking spectacle of it. We Brits had never seen a battle done on celluloid quite like this before. Previously - North West Frontier & The Cruel Sea had been classics of British Cinema & some liked Bridge over the River Kwai (but not me). I don't think the Jack Hawkins 'cowardly vicar' section added anything to the experience though. It certainly didn't happen in reality... I would have liked the British Director Ridley Scott have had a go at it, but I guess it was a bit early for him as he probably wasn't around in 1962/63. Ridley Scott Directed some crackers - The Duellists, Alien & Blade Runner.

British Army were slow to take up the repeating rifle, various types had been available on the world arms market for a considerable time from the German needle rifle to the American Henry Repeater later to be branded with few mods as the Winchester (Oliver Winchester himself was a successful Shirt Making Businessman who bought the Henry Repeating Rifle Co & rebranded it under his own name, I doubt if Oliver Winchester knew the difference between the muzzle end & breech end of a rifle). The Winchester would have been my choice of weapon at Rorkes Drift. The Brits tested the Winchester & dismissed it because it was difficult to 'rechamber' a round in the prone position. And it's long range accuracy was not as good as the Martini Henry. I ask you - how many battles of the period were conducted by the Brits with the Infantry lying on their stomachs? Can't think of one. The Winchester would have been the perfect tool to see off thousands of charging tribesmen who didn't value their own lives. The perfect 'close quarters' weapon of the period. The slow to load Martini Henry cost a lot of lives... As the Confederate soldiers said during the American Civil War about the Unions Henry Repeating Rifle (the Winchester's direct ancestor) - "You Load it on a Sunday & Fire it through the week. 😂

[@lyndoncmp5751]

It's a huge myth that the Zulus charged forward in mass without any care for their own lives. At Isandlwana they made great use of the ground. The 2 to 3 ft lush grass, the dry river beds, the dips and rises in the terrain etc. The Zulus were often throwing themselves to the ground, crouching and crawling forward. It wasnt a stand up mass charge forward once the Martini Henry rifles opened up. British firepower had actually stalled the Zulu chest and the Zulus could not move forward. It was Durnford on the extreme right flank running out of ammo at the donga that turned the battle. He had to abandon his position. This collapsed the British right and the Zulus had an unopposed run at the camp from that side so the bugle was sounded to withdraw the 24th Foot from the firing line otherwise the Zulus on the right flank would have cut them off from the rear. It was this lull in the firing that allowed the Zulu chest to move forward again. At Rorkes Drift, the Martini Henry rifles stopped the Zulus. Same at Nyezane, Khambula and Gingindlovu.

@@MySteaming Well they still had to fight. Just as they weren't standing up and charging forward the whole time, nor were they ducking and hiding the whole time. It was a mix of both. When they got close to the British firing line at its most effective they did stall and often went to ground. The Zulus themselves said they were pinned down. A lot of Zulus died in the last mellies too, including hand to hand. Cannon fire also took a fair number out initially when the Zulus came down the escarpment.
