INTEREST: A ZULU KNOBKERRIE , large two-tone 8cm diameter spherical head, the tapering haft inset with a bone tablet inscribed HELPMEKAAR 1879, 59.5cm long over all.

Given that some of the survivors had fled from the battlefield at Isandlwana on the 22nd of January to the relative safety of the diminutive garrison at Helpmekaar, it is unlikely that this piece was carried there by one of them, particularly with a 3,000 strong Zulu force following behind and bearing down on Rorke’s Drift. With the Zulus subsequently pushed back from the Defence of Rorke’s drift, the anticipated immediate attack by the Zulu on Helpmekaar did not happen. It is more probable that in the days following, this piece was brought back up to Helpmekaar from the battlefield. Indeed Lt Chard himself collected a number of Zulu weapons from within the compound in the days that followed.
