Kambula, 1879

British Colonel Evelyn Wood and 2000 Colonial troops
Attacked in Kambula, South Africa, fighting 20,000 Impi
Zulu formations were in formation and attacked fearlessly
After one day of battle, the Zulu limped away, bleeding
It was a shattering blow, considering where it was fought
In the dark shadow of the heights of Isandlwana
The Zulu had won and the British embarrassed
2000 dead Zulu Impi were then carried away
This battle one of the last, gone with the dead
All of the hopes and dreams of the Zulu nation
