EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Zulu War, the Battle of Ulundi, inside the Square" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on August 23,1879, it offers a glimpse into the intensity and chaos of battle during the Anglo-Zulu War. In this scene, we witness soldiers from various regiments strategically positioned within a square formation as they prepare for combat. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and determination as officers issue instructions while surgeons stand ready at a makeshift hospital to tend to wounded comrades. Amidst the flurry of activity, Brigadier General Sir Evelyn Wood can be seen carrying out his duties with unwavering resolve. Horses gallop past him as ammunition carts are hurriedly loaded to ensure an uninterrupted supply of firepower. The artist's attention to detail captures both the dramatic nature of war and its human toll. Fallen soldiers lie motionless on the ground while others kneel down or assist their injured comrades. In one poignant moment, a soldier cradles his wounded limb while looking up at an officer for guidance. "The Zulu War: Battle of Ulundi" serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in this historic conflict. It invites us to reflect upon not only their bravery but also the devastating consequences that war inflicts upon individuals and communities alike.
