罗克漂流的辩护，1879年1月22日-诺伊维尔阿尔方斯
-The Battle of Rorke\'s Drift (1879), also known as the Defence of Rorke\'s Drift, was an engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War. The successful British defence of the mission station of Rorke\'s Drift, under the command of Lieutenants John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Gonville Bromhead, began when a large contingent of Zulu warriors broke off from their main force during the final hour of the British defeat at the day-long Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, diverting 6 miles (9.7 km) to attack Rorke\'s Drift later that day and continuing into the following day.
