Notes

During the Anglo-Zulu war and on the same day that 25,000 Zulus annihilated a British force of over 1,300 at Isandhlwana, the nearby supply station of Rorke's Drift was also repeatedly attacked. On the 22 January 1879 and into the next day, 4,000 Zulus were held off by 145 British soldiers and volunteers. The tune playing in the game is Men Of Harlech, which was later to become the regimental march. The movie Zulu is based on the same battle. (Harlech is a town in the north of Wales, UK)
