Laband (John) Companion to Narrative of the Field Operations Connected with the Zulu War of 1879, N. & S. press, Constantia, 1989, page 15, '...the Narrative of the Field Operations Connected with the Zulu War of 1879, remains a remarkably accurate and comprehensive account of the Anglo-Zulu War from the British point of view, and a monument to the industry and ability of the fledgling Intellingence Branch. As such, it will never be superseded as the basic starting-point and source of reference for anyone wishing seriously study with war.'
