Title: Zulu Range Naval Brigade
Post by: streetgang on 24 August 2016, 02:39:12 AM
How many poses are there for SC3 pack depicting Naval Brigade? There appears to be an image of an officer and a sailor firing but I was curious if there is another pose in the pack.  I'm thinking these could be used for the Dunneville Naval Brigade for the Fenian invasion of 1866. Thanks!

Did the Zulus have a Navy?

I think they'd sent it to the Black Sea. Not available to stop Chelmsford, unfortunately.

I seem to recall that may have only been part of the problem. I think I read in the 1889 Janes retrospective that King Cetshwayo had fallen over ten years behind in his building programme due to cost over-runs and the loss of his naval base at the mouth of the Umfolozi.

Indeed.  A waste of band width.  I'm wondering how I can recover the time wasted reading it.

Quick chorus of "Men of Harlech" might help. Ian might prefer "Men of Moreton."

Only the one pose in that pack, plus a couple of the officers.
