Battle of Isandlwana

The Great Bath. The Roman bath itself is substantially intact but everything above the level of the pillar bases is of a later date.

01The border between Belgium and the Netherlands runs through houses, restaurants, and shops in Baarle-Hertog — marked by crosses on the floor.
02The municipality consists of 22 Belgian parcels inside the Netherlands, with 8 Dutch counter-enclaves inside those Belgian parcels.
03During WWII, the border's precise location determined which shops could stay open under German occupation — residents shifted furniture to the Belgian side.

At Isandlwana, January 1879, 1,300 British regulars were annihilated by a Zulu force of 20,000 — partly because a quartermaster refused to issue reserve ammunition without the proper paperwork.
