The Frontier Light Horse: Special Forces of the Anglo-Zulu War (Ep.50)


Listen Later

Did you know that during the Anglo-Zulu War the British had a regiment whose tasks were very similar to those we would now class as Special Forces? In this episode I interview Cam Simpson all about the men of the Frontier Light Horse - a tough, mounted regiment recruited in South Africa. To order Cam's book on the unit visit https://www.selectbooks.co.za/
