“Despite the seriousness of their wounds, despite the agonizing haul in a springless wagon up the Knostrope Pass from Rorke’s Drift to Helpmekaar, despite the lack of proper medical facilities and the desperately unhygienic conditions in which they were treated, and despite the prevalence of disease, all of the wounded from Rorke’s Drift who came under Blair-Brown’s care survived.”
Ian Knight, Zulu Rising: The Epic Story of iSandlwana and Rorke's Drift
