EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Church Parade of officers during the British military campaign in the Zulu Wars at Fort Bengough in 1879. The Zulu Wars marked a significant period in the history of the British Empire in Africa, with the British Army facing formidable opposition from the Zulu military. During this time, the British Army ranks were substantially swelled by the Native Naval Corps (NNC), also known as the Zulu Levy. The NNC was an important military asset for the British, as their local knowledge of the terrain and languages proved invaluable in navigating the unfamiliar African landscape and communicating with the Zulu people. In this image, we see a group of officers, smartly dressed in their military uniforms, standing at attention during a church parade. The presence of the NNC members in the background, wearing their distinctive uniforms, underscores the critical role they played in the British military effort. The fort, located in the foreground, serves as a reminder of the strategic importance of these outposts in the colonial struggle. The terrain surrounding Fort Bengough is rugged and hilly, making it a challenging environment for military operations. The NNC's knowledge of the area was essential for the British in planning and executing their campaigns against the Zulu. Their expertise in navigating the difficult terrain and understanding the local languages and customs helped the British to gain a critical advantage in the conflict. This photograph is an important historical record of the Zulu Wars and the role of the NNC in the British military effort. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers and officers stationed at Fort Bengough and highlights the multicultural nature of the British military during this period.
