Although the company was formed to portray an 1880's home service unit it was obvious that we would be associated with the most well known actions of the period - the Zulu War from an early stage.
In 1994 we portrayed the 24th Foot in the Cromwell Productions video “Campaigns in History Rorkes Drift”
In 1999 we took part in the 120th Anniversary events in Zululand. In January the

stand with the kwaZulu people 120 years to the day on the sites to commemorate
and honour the fallen from both sides of the conflict.
Here a few images from the the 120th Anniversary events from 1999.
