Charles Edwin Fripp: The Battle of Isandlwana (1879)
22 January 1879 was the battle and defeat (for the British forces).
The British believes there was a solar eclipse between 12:30 and 14:00 over the hills of iSandlwana. It suddenly became dark and misty, and the wrath of the Zulu attack intensified.

The Zulu believes it was the power of his ancestors, fighting side by side with him.#Isandlwana pic.twitter.com/nl1lwE6o7r
