I am led to believe that more officers were killed at the battle of Isandhlwana than were killed during the battle of Waterloo - any takers?

hi younghusband.
I know that statement has been bandied around but fairly certain it's untrue.
cheers 90th.

From memory, i think 48 or 50 allied officers died on the 18th of June 1815
