18th December 2001	Drawings/Prints By Harry Does anyone know of an American artist who specialised in sketches of military figures in action? I have seen in the past a print depicting an infantryman of the 24th in close combat with a Zulu warrior. I made a note of the artist but have since lost it. The artist, I think, is more latter day. Anybody have any clues?

18th December 2001	Martin Everett Dear, There are two American artists one named Rocco (who depicted Rorke's Drift) and the other Bud Bradshaw. We have copies of their works in the museum. I will see whether there are any contact addresses. You may find something on Cranston Fine Art Prints - see links on this site.
20th December 2001	Peter Critchley Further to what Martin has said, the details for these two artists are below: KEITH ROCCO - he has produced a fine painting available as a print of the Defence of Rorke's Drift. Keith Rocco American House 357 West Chicago Ave Chicago Illinois 60610 USA BUD BRADSHAW - born in Los Angeles, artist Bud bradshaw served with the 109th Military Intelligence Group from 1969-1971. He gradually re-entered the art field, and began working with subject matter dealing with military history and the American West. He has produced at least two paintings depicting the Anglo-Zulu war - one of the 24th Foot picquet line at Isandhlwana and the other of Lt Mevill saving the Queen's Colour 1/24th. The prints are about $110 each with $10 pp. Bud and his wife Anita reside in Southern California.
