On the Fact that Eleven Victoria Crosses Were Awarded to British Soldiers In 1879 at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, the Most Ever In British History for a Single Action

 

 For the folks who've never heard of Rorke's Drift, it was a harrowing battle between 4,000 Zulu warriors and 150 British foot soldiers (nearly a third of whom were either support staff or sick people) in which the Limeys held off the hordes with nothing more than single-shot rifles refurbished with bayonets. It was one of the most inspiring displays of courage in military history. I get it that the leftists are probably butt-hurt with their team losing and all (nonwhites always being the good guys in these nauseating leftist passion-plays) but to not provide credit where it's clearly due is utterly bush-league (putting the typical nature of it aside).
