Image description

The Zulu army comprises distinct regiments, each identified by attire and shield color, stationed in barrack-towns during peace. Commanded by captains and lieutenants, their names hold significant meanings. The soldiers' attire is depicted, showcasing the regiment of Indabagoonibi, favored by King Mpande. Their headquarters, located near the White Umvelozi (Umfolozi) River, remains unfinished. The soldiers wear elaborate headgear adorned with ostrich feathers and cattle tails, projecting a fierce appearance. Additionally, the description of the Isigqo Regiment's attire, featuring white hide fillets and bird feathers, highlights the Zulus' prowess as foot travelers, known for their agility and endurance on long journeys.
