At best, at Rorke's Drift, we prevented defeat. Can't spell well enough to draw attention to Isandalwana the day before!

VC criteria. ."to place yourself at mortal risk knowingly to save life or to influence directly the outcome of the battle with disregard to your own safety"

Isn't that Tuxford exactly? And arguably fitting both halves of the statement!
