  Nigel Green is immortalized forever by his shouts of 'Alright then' and 'Nobody told you to stop working' from his lines in the movie 'Zulu'  got to smile.

  Bartle-Frere and Chelmsford acted unilaterally.  The orders from London were NOT to cross the river into Zululand.  Chelmsford was clueless as a military commander, particularly fighting a nation where everyone had to be a warrior.  They were both later censured for their actions, but wars are easier to start than to stop and contact with England was at ship pace.

  The fiasco started when the invading force split into 3 columns!  Obviously no one in the British army had heard of the axiom, " united we stand,  divided we fall" especially when the British hadn't a clue of how many warriors faced them, and their deployment!

  The battle foretold the defeat at Kambula. &nbsp;Ending the winning streak of the Zulus.

  The irony, scorning Zulu marksmanship only to have a horse shot under and an officer killed next to him. That was a near Sedgwick incident.

  I would like to complain about the lack of diversity in the Zulu ranks

  I remember watching this movie has a high school student theses were very smart warriors and had a leader who was very intelligent and underestimated by the British people who outnumbered them 6 to 1
