Facts about the battle:
 The battle which took place between January 22 and 23  1879 when British High commissioner Sir Bartle Frere came to realise the Policy of Confederation, saw that the Zulu Kingdom under Chief Cetshwayo became self reliant and build a very powerful military power. The Zulu Chief was given an ultimatum after negotiations and talks didn't go through. The ultimatum expired and 150 British soldiers were sent to hold off about 4,000 warrior tribesmen whose land they had invaded.

Among the British soldiers were a few Welsh soldiers who fought in the Anglo-Zulu war.
