From the Zulu War to the Somme: The incredible career of Tim Lukin

How’s this for a career? - A gentleman ranker who fought in the Zulu war, later chased Boer Commandos across South Africa, commanded the South African Brigade on the Somme and as if that wasn’t enough, the old war horse went on to take charge of an elite division on the western front.

So who was he? Henry Timson “Tim” Lukin - arguably South Africa's greatest ever General.
