Probably the best known defender due to the superb but totally incorrect portrayal in the film Zulu by James Booth ,in real life Hook was the perfect soldier and a god fearing tea totallar but still performed heroically during the hospital siege , he appeared to have been admired and loved by all even his monument was paid for by admirers both civilian and military . Hooks grave is in the beautiful churchyard at St Andrews near churcham ,although it was the subject of a recent mystery when the monument disappeared only to be returned later with a claim it had been restored which I dont think happened ?.
