The battle of Ntombe drift - another British disaster of the Zulu War

The battle of Ntombe drift, also called Intombe drift or Myer's drift is a little known but very interesting chapter of the Anglo-Zulu war.

A company-sized detachment of the British 80th regiment was virtually wiped out during a surprise attack by thousands of Zulu warriors under Mbelini.

In this video I walk the battlefield, give a history of the battle and even get to meet a descendant of the Zulu commander himself.

I have also just launched a podcast about British Military History - the first six episodes cover the Anglo-Zulu war: https://redcoathistory.com/podcast/
