The sphinx. The shape of the Lion.

(Many soldiers were superstitious about the shape of Isandlwana, as it closely resembled the Sphinx on their regimental badge).

Neil was it
When they first arrived at Isandlwana.

During the Attack.

During the Battle.

First thing
This is'nt Isandlwana, I think it is Signal Hill (Cape Town) taken from an certain angle, or am I miles away ??

Could be Lions head on the side of table mountain. ( leads down to the right onto Signal Hll)

Correct, its signel hill cape town, those companies based at cape castle would have seen it when they arrived, it bears a striking similarity to isandlwana, the last thing they saw.

Its Lions head, signal hill is the lower hill on the seaward side. Well done Neil Ive lived here for 40 years and never spotted the sinilarity.
