CASUALTY ROLL FOR THE ZULU AND BASUTO WARS: SOUTH AFRICA 1877-79
1st Folio (31x23 cms), 2+53 pages: 1 corner bumbed. Djkt v. fine with slt mark on face. In 1877-8 Colonial and Imperial troops were involved in campaigns in South Africa against the Galekas, Gaikas and Griquas The slaughter of 850 officers and men and 470 natives at Isandhlwana rivited the attention of the British public. On the 11th January 1879, Lord Chelmsford crossed the Tugela River into Zululand with a British force comprising five columns. The purpose of this "invasion" was to teach the Zulu King, Cetewayo, a short, sharp military lesson to pay for his arrogance and his audacity in ignoring certain British Ultimatums. This "military lesson" turned into the Zulu War of 1879. British face was redeemed by the heroic defence of the Rorke's Drift Mission Station. However the Zulus inflicted further reverses on their opponents at Inhlobane Mountain an at the Intombi River. More embarrassment was inflicted onto the British after the death in a Zulu ambush, of the Prince Imperial of France, Louis Napoleon. British victories at Kambula Hill, Gingindhlovu and Ulundi were very costly and hard won. This roll is the most comprehensive reference published of the Colonial and Imperial battle casualties. Compiled from Official Dispatches, Muster Rolls, soldiers discharge papers and other sources. Considerable attention has been paid to cross checking entries. Divided into two sections, Colonial and Imperial, each entry is listed alphabetically by Regiment and Rank, with the nature, date, location of casualty. Casualties for the Royal Navy are listed similarly but by ship, alphabetically.
