Hi Mike,

This is what you get up to when keeping your head below the parapet. Have you seen the latest contribution/theory sighting the Zulu Army from Ron Lock and Peter Quantrill in JSAHR?

(Congratulations Mike, you turned the 'century' page!)

Is that the documentary yhat includes the archeology and where he smashes open the repro ammo box with the M-H? (I do wish they'd show it in the States.)

Martin, you've talked me into joining the SAHR, hopefully there's an option to get back issues of the journal as well. (It's not too specific on their website).

Speaking of journals, or magazines anyway, does any get "The Armourer Magazine" and can they give us a synopses on the three part article by Pat Rundgren entitled "The Royal Engineers at Isandlwana"? (Sounds interesting as long as it doesn't include the cairn!)

Hi Martin

Yes. Ron was kind enough to send me a copy - but I'm not going to comment as I'm temporarily retired and can't be tempted back!!

Michael

Yes that's the one. Might be possible to get it from Nat Geo website - don't know never looked. I've e-mailed you on the other matter.

Regards

Mike
...now closing down on this means - I only wanted to tip people off about the telly!!

Dear Michael Boyle,
Certainly the SAHR is really the only one to join. The National Army Museum usually carries back numbers which can be purchased. But if you a looking for a specific SAHR article over the last 50 years I can probably help.

Thanks Martin,

I'll be probably be getting back to you with a list once I can narrow it down some! First up is tracking down those articles previously cited in this forum, seeing what is available from SAHR and perusing 50 years worth of what's been published. (I do hope they have an index of sorts!)

Best

Michael
