  • With a weight hehind the gun team of 35 cwt, the 9 pr had been too heavy for use in roadless country. Consequently a special 'Kaffraria pattern' field carriage was designed for use with the 7 pr RML mountain gun. The weight behind the team in this case was only 25 cwt. This was the main equipment used by the Royal Artillery in the successive South African campaigns between 1875 and 1880. Two of these guns can be seen in Kokstad today.

    The journal of the Society for Arts is a review on a play based on The Zulu War. (Secondary Source). The memorandum about the history the Zulu race was written by Sir Theophilus Shepstone in 1875 as well as Mr F.B Fynney who contributed 3 years after. The character of the Zulu Chief, Cetywayo's weakness as a ruler was based on his cruelty and terror as he was unaware of the invincible powers of England which led to their downfall. The journal also mentions how Shaka Zulu defeated the British when he was still in power and how the natives tried to make use of his techniques after his death.

  • Though ivory had been traded out of East Africa for centuries, the increasing scale of extraction in the nineteenth century would, in all probability, have had significant consequences for humans, elephants and the landscape. In order to understand these consequences, however, it is imperative to know where this ivory was being extracted and traded along East African caravan routes to then be able to consider the local ecosystems that were most affected by the trade

      Despite the fact that ivory has been exported from East Africa for millennia or not for the first time in like forever, the expanding and consistently increasing scale of extraction in the nineteenth century almost certainly had a considerable impact on people, elephants, and the environment. However, in order to assess the local ecosystems that were most impacted by the trade, it is crucial to understand where this ivory was taken from and transported along East African caravan routes. So in short, this paper talks a lot more about how we need to understand where this ivory was taken from and how was it transported to other lands for trading.

      The third part of the document is a letter from Dr. Kirk to Earl Granville. In this letter, Dr. Kirk reports back to Earl Granville in obedience to instructions conveyed in a previous letter. He provides information about the capture and destruction of a ship involved in the slave trade and expresses his hope that this will serve as a warning to others who may be involved in the illegal trade. Overall, the document provides information about the ongoing efforts of the British government to suppress the slave trade on the East Coast of Africa and confirms that the regulations issued by the Admiralty in November 1869 are still in force. It also highlights the importance of cooperation between different departments of the government, such as the Foreign Office and the Admiralty, in this effort

      The document is related to the suppression of the slave trade on the East Coast of Africa. The first part of the document is a letter from Lord Enfield to Dr. Kirk, which states that a copy of a letter from the Admiralty has been enclosed for Dr. Kirk's information. The letter from the Admiralty confirms that the instructions issued by the department in November 1869, for the guidance of officers involved in suppressing the slave trade on the East Coast of Africa, have not been withdrawn.

      The second part of the document is a letter from the Secretary to the Admiralty to Lord Enfield, which provides more detailed information about the instructions issued in November 1869. The letter confirms that no directions have been given for the withdrawal of the regulations, and that the regulations must be carried out. It also notes that Commander Bloomfield has been called upon to provide an explanation for his assertion to the Captain of Her Majesty's ship "Cossack" and that Rear-Admiral Cockburn has been furnished with additional copies of the instructions for issue to any ships under his orders which may not have been supplied with them.

      the British colonial rulers were afraid that the Russians may descend to South Africa and take their colony, so they designed guns that disappears and only them knew where they were located.

    N.B: These are my sticky notes for my annotated work. Yellow: Sir Bartle states in the article states that he has not visited the coast of Zanzibar, which is in Mozambique (East Africa), after his late scenes of labor in slavery, mainly because of several reasons, such as the consensus that was not met that encountered for the suppression of the sea borne slave traffic. Green: The author reveals that the slave market was dominantly controlled by the English cathedral church. This church was at its peak regards to their activities in the slave trade in East Africa. Blue: The source points that Sir Bartle Frere was appointed to H.M.S London, where he took control for 3 years in his role. He dealt with obstacles that hindered the shipment of his slaves in Zanzibar and Pemba channels. He done this by learning the coast language and by familiarizing himself with the slave in the coast. Red: The Source states that the geographical map of Mozambique was written "Makua's country", which was the ruler of Mozambique who was against the slave trade on the coast. Consequently, the geographical map of Mozambique supported the schemes of the suppression of the slave trade from Rovuma to Zanzibar and between Lake Shirwa and the coast.
