What happen to the bodies of the Zulu Dead, that fell at Ulundi.
At Isandlwana, they removed their own dead because they could. Not the case at Ulundi? Were they just left on the Battlefield or did the British bury some of them. I believe months later some skulls were taken as trophies by the British?
