TACTICS OF zULUS
CRESCENT FORMATION A FAVOR,
ITE ONE IN BATTLE
Evolved BY Great chTss who Made
HE Tribe che Most Powerful
In Afrlea-Lord Robests
AdopNsd u.

Once more the rising Of some Of
the Natal natives has turned mems
thoughts to the famous Zulu tactics
In the minds of most these are asso
ciated with the name Of Tyakm, the
ruthless Zulu cOnQueror, who weld
ed into the stock Of the Amazulas, Ahe

ments and thus building up q power.
ful military nation. Yet 1t was to
DingisiwayO the Wanderer that the
inception was due. This man, the
son of the chief Of the Umtetwa, was
driven into exile in consequence Of an
abortive plot to seize the reins a
power.
During that exile he lived In Cane
Colony and saw the military methods
of the British. With instructive
genius he saw how the idea could be
adapted to HIS own nation and on his
return and accession to the chieftainl
ship he divided his people into regi-
ments, distinguishing them by names
and by a special color of shield for
each regiment, though for time they
retained the umkonto or throwing,
assegai as their chief weapon. He
heard the great use made by the Brit
ish infantry of their favorite weapon,
the bayonet, and so he replaced the
umkonto by the ixwa, or broad-bladedI
stabbing assegaf
The popularity Of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name of the crescent
formation for attack and it is note
worthy that, broadly speaking, it was
the method employed by the Beers
in their invasion Of Natal and adopt
ed by Lord Roberts in his advance
through Orange River Colony, and it
was the fear of it's success which kept
the Beers continually on the run.
The best thing with which to COM
pare it is the head of the stag-headed
beetle. Horns are thrown out widely
on either flank, while the main body
forms the head itself From the main
body small force is detached to en-.
gage the enemy while the horns creep,
around the TANKS.
This force in the days of Tyaka was
frequently dispatched with the COM
mand: 60, sons of Zulu, go and
return no more" and death at the
hands of their fellows was the fate
of those who returned. While this
force was holding the enemy the horns
carried out their task If possible, and
as soon as the two horns had met i'm
the rear of the enemy the head or
chest was launched upon the posi-
ton and the upshot, as rule, was that
the whole force Of the foe tasted the
assegai For IN war no quarter was
