Forts in southern africa?

[summsi]

I'm looking for images of forts from the Zulu war and Matabale wars. I didn't find a lot in the net.

Could somebodey help me please.

Osprey does a volume on British forts of the Zulu War. Lots of photos and drawings.

Some sample pages here to give you some idea:

They seem to have been mostly earthworks with wire obstacles, spike pit traps and ditches.

that is what I have found, too.

But thank you Plynkes.

Useful article on British fortifications here:

"Field Guide to the Zulu War" (Laband & Thompson) has some useful plans and it's worth googling the names of the individual forts for suitable images
