One of the most vividly written eye-witness accounts of the Zulu
War, Captain Montague's memoir tells of his service with the 94th
Regiment of Foot who arrived in Natal just after the disastrous
battle of Isandhlwana. His description of the battlefield with its
tragic detritus is one of the highlights of the book, which also
includes descriptions of the Natal terrain and landscape; life on
the march; the death (by an Assegai-thrust through the eye) of the
Prince Imperial, son and heir of the Emperor Napoleon III; and
finally the battle of Ulundi in which the British exacted a bloody
revenge for Isandhlwana and ended the war. A must-read for anyone
interested in the Zulu War.
