The Mini Rorke's Drift You've Never Heard of: Forgotten Sieges of the Basotho Gun War (1880-81)

An important and brutal war that you’ve probably never heard of…

A tribe of well-armed mounted warriors as tough as any in Africa.

A handful of surrounded colonial officials - massively outnumbered and outgunned.

Now if that hasn’t caught your attention then I don’t know what will.

Today we are talking about two sieges and the battles to relieve them during the Basotho Gun War of 1880-81.
