The Battle of Ulundi. Inside the square

Scene of battle from the British position, inside the square repulsing the Zulus. British casualities were light, but the Zulus were decimated by the use of Gatling guns and the Martini-Henry. The Battle took place on 4th July 1879. Melton Prior, the ILN artist who drew the original sketches was so impressed with Zulu bravery he swore he had seen nothing like it
