This unpainted modular piece, long
out of production, was only made in limited quantities by the
manufacturer. Measures 12 inches long x 5 deep x 2 high.
During
the siege of Rorke's Drift, the British troops bolstered their defenses
with long walls constructed of biscuit boxes, supplemented by heavy bags of mealy beans. These improvised works
allowed the defenders, armed with rifles and bayonets, to shelter from
Zulu rifle fire. Additionally, when participating in close combat, the
British, standing behind them, used the greater length of their weapons
to reach across the defenses to hold off the Zulus who fought with the
short stabbing spear, the assegai.
