Sandhurst Trust Members are invited to attend a RMAS talk to be held on Monday 26th October in Churchill Hall.
Subject: The Battle of Isandlwana (The Day of the Dead Moon)
Speaker: Douglas Rattray
Talk
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. Note - this talk is an RMAS OCdt activity to which Sandhurst Trust members have been afforded attendance.
