2016
Overview
There were deep expressions of sorrow, of course - but what Colenso said was peppered with nuggets of good sense: \"We ourselves have lost very many precious lives, and widows and orphans, parents, brothers, sisters, friends are mourning bitterly their sad bereavements,\" he said. \"But are there no griefs - no relatives that mourn their dead - in Zululand? And shall we kill 10 000 more to avenge the losses of that dreadful day?\" \"The Zulus attacked the red-coated British because they feared for their land and their independence. The British soldiers, drawn from the very poorest level of the working classes, fought back because they had been lured, like Private Moss from Wales, to 'take the Queen's shilling'.\" \"How is it,\" he asked, alluding to the fact that [Theophilus Shepstone] had backed his ascension to the Zulu throne, \"that they crown me in the morning and dethrone me in the afternoon.\"
