A Surprise Postcard from Rorke's Drift

On Saturday, out of the blue, I received this card posted in South Africa.

A lovely message from Alex Haimann, who organised last year's "Clash of Empires" exhibition in London.
The exhibition brought together hundreds of artefacts from the Anglo Zulu war 1879.

Alex's message reads:
"This card has touched the hallowed ground of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift.
Great to meet you at the exhibtion this past summer. 
Thank you again for promoting the event on your channel."

A nice touch from a nice man.

Ian Knight (author & historian on the Zulu War) was another organiser of the event.
