The Road to Ulundi Revisited (Hardcover) (Special Order ALLOW 5-7 Days) - Gillings, Ken

The Zulu War Sketches of an Artist on the March: John North Crealock. In Victorian times, it was to an officers advantage to be good at sketching. This subject was not only on the syllabus at Sandhurst but also at the Army Staff at Camberley until the Anglo-Boer War of 18991902, and later. The reason was the British Army seldom had properly surveyed maps of wherever it was fighting, and so an important part of the duties of a junior officer and of a trained staff officer in particular, was to be able to produce a good sketch map and panorama for his commanding officer.
