| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Waving the Welsh Flag at Isandlwana last year for a Welsh friend, the flag now I believe adorns the wall in the Bar at the Lodge. Also the Memorial over Coghill and Melvills grave on the Buffalo River. Photos and text by Nitro450. |

| I'm not Welsh so I think I can take it !!! I have Scottish ancestry on both sides of my family. As I said I did it for a Welsh friend, I realise there weren't that many welsh men in the 24th Regiment unlike what was put forward in the film "Zulu". Never mind he was happy !!

| But it's good to see, a Welsh flag, at Isandlwana, representing the Welshman that fought in the Battle.
Perhaps Martin can do the same for the British. |

| Admin,
Wasn't the Welshman's name Will?

No Will was one of the Zulu, the one the Brits were told to fire at. |

The Welsh flag is to remember Sir Bartle Frere who paid for the Melvill/Coghill grave. Sir Bartle was as you know born in Clydach - which was Brecknockshire now Monmouthshire. |

| Kenny,
There's no need to remind me of that fact, I was the one who brought it up during the Wales & Zulu talk by Bill & Paul at the N.A.M.
Only to be told Frere was an Englishman born in Wales, something I subsequently refuted by proving Frere's very strong Welsh roots.
