The composition transports us to a time when Rorkes Drift was not just a mission station but also a battlefield. It offers us a glimpse into the landscape that witnessed intense conflict during the Zulu War. The stillness of the scene belies its historical significance, as we can almost hear echoes of battle cries and feel tension lingering in the air.
