The Zulu War-Sir Garnet Wolseley presenting the Victoria Cross to Major Chard

The Zulu War - Sir Garnet Wolseley presenting the Victoria Cross to Major Chard, Royal Engineers, at Inkwenke Camp, 1879. The Battle of Rorke's Drift (1879), also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was an engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War. The successful British defence of the mission station of Rorke's Drift, under the command of Lieutenants John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Gonville Bromhead, 24th Regiment of Foot began when a large contingent of Zulu warriors broke off from their main force during the final hour of the British defeat at the day-long Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, diverting 6 miles (9.7 km) to attack Rorke's Drift later that day and continuing into the following day.
