Similarly, Knight & Castle. Zulu War 1879: twilight of a warrior nation, 1992, p.54 and in their Zulu War, 2004, p.114, state that the Zulu casualties at Kambula and Isandlwana are comparable.

^ Smith-Dorrien, Chapter 1D, "The next few days after the battle, St. Matthew's simile, " Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together," was fully illustrated, for literally the sky was darkened at times by continuous streams of " Aasvogels " heading from all directions to the battlefield marked by that precipitous and conspicuous crag, like a lion couchant, " Isandhlwana " where nearly 900 British and 2,000 or 3,000 natives, friend and foe, had breathed their last on the fatal 22nd." As can be seen from this account there were from both sides a total of 2 to ثلاثة thousand natives killed.
