Indeed, it's the funeral of John Fielding (Williams), VC hero of Rorke's Drift. It doesn't have any audio, but it's certainly impressive that the technology we now have allows us to view this sort of material.

To view it, go to www.britishpathe.com, type in "Zulu" in the search field, and click on the "Preview" option. You then need to "Complete your order", although the preview quality version is free.

Good luck!
