Battle of Isandhlwana by Charles Fripp. Zulu War art print showing the 24th Regiment of Foot (South Wales Borderers) at the Battle of Isandhlwana during the Zulu War.

Battle of Isandhlwana by Charles Fripp.  Last stand of the 24th Regiment of Foot (South Wales Borderers) during the Zulu War, 22nd January 1879.

On the 11th January 1879, a British Force under the command of Lord Chelmsford crossed the Buffalo River into Zululand.  A small garrison was left at Rorke's Drift.  The force consisted of 1,600 British troops, mainly from the 1st and 2nd Battalions 24th Regiment, and 2,500 native soldiers.  A tented camp was established at Isandhlwana Hill.  At 4am on the morning of 22nd January, Lord Chelmsford took half his force to reconnoitre to southeast in search of main Zulu army.  Just after 8am a force of 25,000 Zulu warriors attacked the remainder of the force in the camp.  Surprised, outnumbered by more than six to one, in a position offering little defence, the defenders were soon overpowered and a dreadful slaughter ensued.  A few men escaped and re-crossed the Buffalo River to safety. Victoria Crosses were awarded to Lieutenants Melvill and Coghill, who saved the Queen's Colour of the 1st/24th and to Private Wassell, 90th Foot who saved a comrade while escaping across the Buffalo River
