'Durnford's Donga' depicts Lt.-Col. Anthony Durnford who lost his life at the battle of iSandlwana whilst in command of the column's NNC (Natal Native Contingent).
At an early stage in the battle, Durnford had gone out to investigate a sighting of the Zulus and came upon into the 'left horn' of the Zulu army. After conducting a fighting withdrawal, he and his men held a donga/gully (the Nyogane) some distance from the camp. This painting shows his men in the donga, trying to slow the advancing Zulus of the left horn (uVe ibutho) who had perused them. Durnford himself is stood up in the open. Here he unjammed his men's carbines and encouraged them throughout the action. Owing to a previous wound, Durnford's left arm was paralysed and he carried it in a sling worn under his tunic.
After a while Dunford's position became untenable and he was forced to retreat with his men to the camp at the foot of the mountain.
