Heros grave rediscovered! 
 Part of channel(s): Yoursay (promoted)

I read in my local paper,that a historical society,had found the grave of soldier who fought at the battle of rorkes drift 22nd of january 1879.Eleven V.Cs where awarded after the battle,the highest award for bravery in the British army.Ever since i was a boy and saw the film zulu with my father,ive took a keen interest in the Zulu war.So it was a great suprise to find out Thomas Burkes grave was a mile from my home!Sorry for the wind,but iam not doing it again lol.One final point,Thomas Burkes south African medal was sold a couple of years ago for £26,000 if he had not been at rorkes drift,it might have sold for £200
