About this Event

The Battle of Isandlwana (The Day of the Dead Moon)


Douglas Rattray presents a powerful and immersive account of the Battle of Isandlwana—one of the most dramatic and devastating encounters of the Anglo-Zulu War.

Continuing the storytelling tradition established by his father, David Rattray, Douglas brings to life the human experience of the battlefield: the decisions, the courage, the confusion, and the profound cost of conflict.

This one-hour lecture offers a deeply moving exploration of one of the most significant events in British and Zulu history, focusing not only on the course of the battle, but on the individuals who lived, fought, and died there.
