Is there a link for Zululand?  Possibly Zulu Kingdom?
I've changed it so I've used Zulu Kingdom at the first mention (as it relates to the political entity) and Zululand after (as it refers to the territory), hopefully the reader will make the connection
"The dispute between Bulwer and Chelmsford over the deployment of the Border Guard came to an end on 15 July 1879 when Garnet Wolseley assumed the role of supreme British civil and military commander in the region." - How did Wolseley handle the deployment of the Border Guard?  Bulwer's method, or the more aggressive ones advocated by other leaders?
The war was effectively over by the time Wolseley got on the scene.  Laband notes he had disarmed the Border Guard by the end of July.  I've added that info
"The Natal Border Guard was disbanded following the end of the war, there is no record of the date this occurred but the NNC was disbanded in September and the related Natal Pioneers in October" - Two independent clauses, so I think this should be either split or joined with a semicolon instead of a comma
Went for a semi-colon
Remove the p. 24 part from the Thompson 2006 citation, as more than just that page is cited.  The p. 115 for Dutton probably isn't needed, either, as the page numbers are included in the short citations.
Done, think they were leftover from the previous citation style
For the infobox image, can we get a page number for the source?  A 449-page PDF isn't a very specific source link
Done
Looks good beyond that.  Sources seem to be reliable enough, prose is excellent, seems to be good coverage, licensing looks fine, etc.   Placing on hold. Hog Farm  Talk 15:10, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
