EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from the annals of history depicts the portrait of Mr. W.A. Dunne, a distinguished figure in the Commissariat Department during the Zulu War of 1879. The historic event took place at Rorkes Drift, where 137 British soldiers valiantly held the fort against an overwhelming force of over 7,000 Zulus. Amidst the chaos and carnage, 11 men were awarded the prestigious Victoria Crosses for their unparalleled acts of bravery during the evacuation of the hospital at Rorkes Drift. Mr. Dunne played a pivotal role in the defense of Rorkes Drift by helping to construct a fortification that served as a crucial barrier against the relentless Zulu onslaught. The hospital, which was situated within the fort, became a focal point of the intense battle. Despite the odds being heavily stacked against them, the British soldiers held their ground, demonstrating remarkable courage and resilience. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the heroism and determination displayed by Mr. Dunne and his fellow defenders during the Zulu War. The image captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history, where the fortitude of a small group of men held the line against a much larger enemy force. The Victoria Crosses awarded to the 11 brave soldiers serve as a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty and country. This photograph is an essential addition to any history or military collection, offering a glimpse into the past and the incredible stories of heroism that shaped our world. The portrait of Mr. W.A. Dunne stands as a symbol of the indomitable spirit of those who defended Rorkes Drift during the Zulu War.
