Start time: 19:30 Join us to learn about the 1879 Battle of Rorke’s Drift and the accurate account of the Zulu war. We are pleased to welcome Steve Bird back to talk to us about the 1879 Battle of Rorke’s Drift, between a detachment of the British Army and the Zulu Nation, for an accurate account, as to how and why this conflict took place and to be able to contrast it against the 1964 film – Zulu. The Zulu War wasn’t just as portrayed in the 1964 film. Steve will explain in more detail, those variations of fact. He will explain the personalities of British and Zulu leaders, at that time and how these characterisations were changed within the film.
