That's Chard in the center, Dalton and Reynolds slightly to the right and Bromhead in the white trousers at the barrier. Schiess, Hitch and Hook are evacuating the wounded from the hospital. Victoria Crosses all.
the lizard is cute...
but they would have been better served to remember and honor their manhood.
Google Rorke’s Rift.

Actually, most of the defender’s at Rorke’s Drift were English. Of the 139 defenders, only 19 or so were welsh. The idea that the defenders were Welsh is an erroneuous assumption based on the fact that the 24th Regiment of Foot later became the South Wales Borderers following the Cardwell Reforms of 1881. However, prior to this, the regiment was an English regiment based in Warwickshire, and their regimental song was ‘the Warwickshire lads’ not ‘Men of Harlech’.
Rorke’s Drift really demonstrated that being ferocious warriors in the British Army were not the sole preserve of the Celt....
