It's somewhat frustrating that descriptions of battles are so often contradictory. Isandlwana. One version is that ammunition re-supply failed.Infantry officer to commisary, 'surely, you don't want a chitty now?'), leading to drop in firing rate which allowed Zulus to close in in overwhelming numbers. Also I have recently read that our troops were standing at least 6' apart. Not ideal for handing out ammo.
Rorkes Drift. No soldiers were killed by assegai's. All gunshot wounds. Zulu's must have come back from Isandalwana with captured Martini Henry's.
