Book with Sources?

Is there an AZW book with the source material from the survivors at Isandlwana, and Rorke's Drift available, or are they all scattered?

I am reading Mike Snook's book "Like Wolves on the Fold" and a lot of his material is backed up with snippets of source written by the men themselves, is there a book that holds these sources for one to peruse? Or are they all over the shop and are only collated by historians/novelists covering the period from intensive research?

Hi Spelk .
Littlehand has posted a link to '' The Red Soldier's '' but they are far to expensive . It depends really as there isnt 1 book from
memory which have all accounts if I'm not mistaken . I've read ' The Red Soldiers ' but cant remember the number of survivor reports of Isand & RD.
I know ' The Noble 24th ' available on ebay uk at the moment for only 12.50 GBP'S has the survivor testimony of those who were
in the Rocket Battery ( 5 ) 0f them . An absolute steal at that price . ' Rorkes Drift By Those Who Were There ' is an interesting read . Will send you a pm .
Cheers 90th. You need to study mo
