Quotes 

• General Lord Chelmsford : After lunch, Brown, I want you to return to Isandhlwana and instruct Col. Pulleine to join us here immediately.

  Col. Hamilton-Brown : If you'll excuse me, My Lord.

  General Lord Chelmsford : No appetite, Colonel?

  Col. Hamilton-Brown : My men haven't eaten since yesterday and there won't be any supplies until I get them back to Isandhlwana.

  General Lord Chelmsford : Then they can start off now and you can join them when you've eaten.

  Col. Hamilton-Brown : Kind of you, My Lord, but I don't think it would be proper for me to sit at your table, they with their bellies stuck to their backbones.

  [Exits] 

  Lt. Harford : [rising to follow Hamilton-Brown]  Excuse me, Sir.

  General Lord Chelmsford : [to Lt. Harford]  Learn nothing from that Irishman, Harford, except how not to behave.
