In 1879 both battalions took part in the Zulu War, after a British invasion of Zululand, ruled by Cetshwayo. The 24th Foot took part in the crossing of the Buffalo River on 11 January 1879, entering Zululand. The first engagement (and the most disastrous for the British) came at Isandhlwana. The British had pitched camp at Isandhlwana and not established any fortifications due to the sheer size of the force, the hard ground and a shortage of entrenching tools. The 24th Foot provided most of the British force and when the overall commander, Lord Chelmsford, split his forces on 22 January to search for the Zulus, the 1st Battalion (5 companies) and a company of the 2nd Battalion were left behind to guard the camp, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Pulleine (CO of the 1/24th Foot). The 24th foot are the most famous British regiment during the Zulu wars of 1877-1879 because of the massacre at Isandhlwana and then the heroic stand by 100 members of the regiment against over 5000 Zulus warriors at the mission station Rorkes Drift.
