Zulu war?[edit]

Zulu war? I think you mean the Boer War ... or the Second South African War, to be precise. The Zulu war (assuming you are talking about the Anglo-Zulu War) took place when Mr Gandhi was 10 years old.

I think he was in Boer War II as a private, and in a later Zulu uprising as a sergeant. If the 1906 date is correct, I guess that means the "Zulu war" term is also fairly near correct as well. Just vaguer than ought to be. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:19, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
