Cymdeithas Twmbarlwm Society continue the Autumn/Winter Series of illustrated talks with…

Rorke’s Drift

An In-depth Study of the Legendary Action in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879

an entertaining and informative talk presented by

Mr Roger Morgan,

On Wednesday 10th January 2024
at Crosskeys RFC

Doors open at 7.00pm ready for a 7.30pm start.

Roger will examine the reasons why the British were in that part of South Africa in 1879 and why a war was manufactured against the Zulu.

We’ll consider the defeat at Isandlwana and the shock that was felt when a modern army was beaten by a native army and why the defence at Rorke’s Drift was so successful, later the same day.

We will also learn what happened to some of the defenders post Anglo-Zulu war.
