Zulu
In 1879, through the Zulu wars, man-of-the-people,'' Lt. John Chard and snooty Lt Gonville Bromhead were responsible of protecting the isolated Natal outpost of Rorke's Drift from tribal hordes, holding out throughout an Alamo-like siege until they have been inundated, losing the conflict, however going down in history as heroes. 150 soldiers defended a supply channel against several 4000 Zulus, along with the Martini Henry rifle"with some guts behind it". In the hundred years since the Victoria Cross is made for valour and guts beyond that normally expected of the British soldier in face of the enemy just 1344 have been given. The defenders of the mission station at Rorke's Drift, Natal won eleven of them to the 1879.
