The Zulus caught in a cross fire from both buildings and the back wall the Zulus are halted amid mounting casualties. As the first assault comes to a halt. The main boady seeeing the heavy fire coming from the back of the post veer to the left passing the hospital moving to the front of the post. Barely pausing to regroup the INdluyengwe launch the first of a series of attacks against the hospital......The Lt.

LT, I must say I'm enjoying this! It would make a great presentation. Alan's idea is worth looking into. If you own a copy of Microsoft "Office Suite" then you should already have "Power Point". If not there is free presentation software available on the net (some of which would enable you to run "Men of Harlach" simultaneously!)

Best

Michael
