Prince Imperial Memorial - Anglo Zulu War of 1879 South Africa

The modest Prince Imperial Memorial (1 June 1879) marks where Louis Napoleon IV and two troopers, Abel and Rogers, were killed in an ambush by a party of about 40 Zulus. This tragic incident was to be the best publicised Anglo Zulu War event in Britain in 1879! The site stands in a grove of trees and has an atmosphere different to other battle sites although this is fast diminishing as settlements are starting to close in on the site.
