Rifle and Spear with the Zulu

I have just read this amazing story of one of the lesser known heroes of the Zulu war of 1879 Lt.Col.Alan Gardener byKate Birbeck .The story of this survivor of Isandlwana is amazing enough but the story of how Kate discovered not only his story but his grave is a epic on its own,this self published book is a great read and covers Gardeners family history as well as his own story and is packed with photographs ,maps and drawings and comes in at over 400 pages and is alimited numbered edition probably only the most hardened zulu war buffs would look at it but if you get the chance its well worth reading .I was lucky enough to be introduced to Kate by Ian Knight during King Goodwills visit to the uk ,Kate is a lovely lady and she very kindly  signed my copy.
