rorkes drift

a 150 welsh regiment holds off a 4000 man zulu army in what is regarded as the finest defense in history. more victoria crosses were given out to this regiment than any other in history.

@7azmawy It really wasn't the Russians just chucked men at machine guns and eventually overrun the Germans. Much like the Zulus try to do to the 139 men of the 24th regiment of foot here.

@ryanjones204 Wrong it was the same regiment the 24th foot,that was at Isandwana and Rorke Drift.The 2nd Warwicks regiment,a mix of mostly English ,and other British volunteers,that became The South Wales Borderers a few years later.It was not a Welsh regiment at the time.That was the only British regiment in the two battles.

@karthikbans 300 bodies found around the battle field. maybe 300-400 wounded shot dead after the battle, we can reason, though not prove another 100-300 walking wounded the Zulus could take with them. So around 1000 is a reasonable estimate.
