| Publisher Description: Charles Norris-Newman was an ex-British officer who served as special correspondent for The London Standard in the Zulu War. He attached himself to Lonsdale's Natal Native Contingent and was with Chelmsford's column when Isandlwana was attacked. His report of the battle was the first by a war correspondent. Norris-Newman also took part in the relief of Eshowe and took an active part in the campaign by riding ahead of the relieving forces to become the first man to enter the fort. 'In Zululand with the British Throughout the War of 1879' was published by W. H. Allen & Co in 1880 and was dedicated to Lord Chelmsford, and it is an essential addition to any Zulu War library. |
