    At the end of the film 'Zulu', the Zulu warriors depart from the battlefield after saluting the hopelessly outnumbered British soldiers for their bravery in continuing to fight despite the overwhelming odds against them. My brother tells me that, in reality, the Zulus returned a few days later and massacred all of the remaining soldiers at Rourke's Drift. Is he right?
