The greatest number won by a single unit during a single action is seven, to the 2nd/24th Foot, for the defence of Rorke's Drift, 22–23 January 1879, during the Zulu War

I thought you fought in the Boer War.

The first Boer War was 1880-81

You said starred that means lead characters in my book , were they lead characters ?

Boer war?........... 9th Xhosa War he fought in is a boer war

Get the lawyers in!

Too many misleading clues, these threads should carry a health warning

You said starred that means lead characters in my book , were they lead characters ?....ffs sake nit picking....

Somebody phone Amal Clooney!

That means lead character in my book, I found Booth much earlier looked to see if he had starred in a major series but only had small roles in several

nit picking


ITS  A FRIGGIN MISLEADING CLUE

Poor Kweeveen...ffs...gonna be SUED by Internet chumps!

Kweeveen - you need to employ a team of hotshot lawyers before you do another quiz...all charging £300 per hour...

starred in..appeared in..i give up....

Won the V.C. the year before the first Boer War started  - did well.

Origins of war

These are wars of many names. For the British they were the Boer Wars, for the Boers, the Wars of Independence. Many Afrikaaners today refer to them as the Anglo-Boer Wars to denote the official warring parties.

The first Boer War of 1880-1881 has also been named the Transvaal Rebellion

Too true Pumphol, the Battle of Rorke's Drift had nothing to do with the Boer Wars.
