Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Ghosts of Rorke's Drift
Charles Aikenhead , owner of the Rorke's Drift Hotel, will give an illustrated talk on the 'Ghosts of Rorke's Drift.' Using first hand accounts of five of the 'ghosts' who defended Rorke's Drift, the drama of this battle between the British Army and the Zulus is brought to life. Just 100 riflemen withstood the attack of some 3000 zulus for 12 hours, their contribution to history being recognised by the award of 11 Victoria Crosses.
