It includes a diagram of the famous Zulu attack formation, based on the horns of cattle, in which the enemy was enveloped on both wings by two horns, while the body of the âbullâ was held in reserve.

However, in the campaign that followed, much of that intelligence was not utilised thanks to the incompetent conduct of the campaign.
