The painting depicts the climax of the Zulu attacks at the defence of Rorkes Drift. The Zulus were unable to effectively penetrate the mealie bag defenses at Rorkes Drift, even though they succeeded in burning down the hospital, and peppering the storehouse with bullet holes. The confined space available to the British garrison caused a certain degree of physical compression, but this in fact worked against the Zulus, as it drove the defenders closer together with the result being that the volley fire from the defenders was concentrated and subsequently very effective at close range, as opposed to the spread out skirmish line type formation used at Isandlwhana. The Zulu attacks also became uncoordinated, being driven forward by charismatic individuals, but lacking the support of the necessary numbers needed to overwhelm the desperate defenders, who now appreciated that they were literally fighting for their lives.

<i>Everyone here in this room is living on borrowed time. By rights we should all be dead! The only reason that God allowed us this extra ration of life is so we can make life hell from the Hun.. ... three bloody deep, bloody long tunnels will be dug - Tom, Dick and Harry. On will succeed!</i> With those words the chief escape officer in Stalag Luft III, Squadron Leader Roger Bushell RAF, announced his plan for perhaps the most daring escape attempt of the war - the mass break-out of 200 men through the digging of three long tunnels - nicknamed Tom, Dick and Harry - an audacious feat of tunneling that would be long and dangerous. Tom was discovered by the Germans and destroyed. Dick was abandoned. The escape would fall on Harry, and just after 22.00hrs on the night of 24th / 25th March 1944, the first escapee broke through to the surface - only to find it well short of the surrounding trees. The escapees would have to crawl to the cover of the trees under the noses of the patrolling sentries. It was obvious that not everyone would have time to get away. 76 men had made their escape when at 04.55 the escape was finally discovered by the guards. As shots rang out, those already in the trees began running for their lives. Of the escapees, three would make it home to the UK, the rest were recaptured. And of those, sadly 50 were executed by the Gestapo, but <i>The Great Escape</i> was already immortalised in history. The Great Escape by Richard Taylor.Click For DetailsDHM1904

Thankfully all will land safely, ready to continue the bitter struggle while Goerings Luftwaffe begin to intensify their attacks as they try to gain air superiority during one of the most decisive battles ever fought.
