    This is a Gale Primary source on the Zulu War where General Garnet Wolseley arrived in KZN at the end of Jun. He anted to form operations of desultory character against Chief Sekhukhune. His (Chief Sekhukhune) town in the Lulu mountains had not been taken by the enemy (british). Colonel Lanyon was contemplating taking offensive action against the Chief, however, the commanding general called these operations off and told Lanyon to only focus on defensive measures. Colonel didn't want more wars that would add onto the wars that were already occuring. The commander thought it would be best to attack Chief Sekhukhune when they have sufficient millitary to ensure victory.

  • British campaigns had a significant impact on women’s lives from disrupting family livelihood to the forceful migration of families.
  • This meant that women who did not have inheritable wealth were put at a significant disadvantage. The poorer women would usually have to move to areas to fit their financial situations while they attempted to provide for their children. These issues show why Lucy would have been terrified to have lost her fiancé, for reasons beyond emotional distress.
