In researching 2 Family members miltiary history's from England discovered that 1 served in 1882 in the Egyptian war,dealing with the Mahdi and the aftermath of Khartoum...he was with the Coldstream guards.
The other served with Clemsford during the siege or battles of the Krals, with the Princess of Wales Own.
I do enjoy both movies -Zulu ,and Zulu Dawn for there realism...
The Movie Khartoum does justice to the Legacy of Chinese Gordan..and gives us a good Kodak of Britians political crisis from 1882.
I like that scene where the Primeminister is talking to Lord Woolsey:..
"Don't you dare...don't you dare pull a Billy Hicks on Me"!
