Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Rorke's Drift and it seemed like the perfect day to look at the life of one of the battle's most intriguing characters - Frank Bourne OBE, DCM.
During the battle, he was a Colour Sergeant but he was to have a stellar career and be one of the few defenders who achieved his full potential.
Listen to this episode to learn about his life and how realistic Nigel Green's portrayal was in the movie 'Zulu'. To find out more about the battle you can listen to my podcast here - https://youtu.be/ACLauwRYpIE And you can walk the battlefield with me here - https://youtu.be/SlFyzpLnLXM
