I've posted this info before into a thread by Richie on his Rorkes Drift art commission but quite a few planeteers have been interested since so thought I would add it as a new topic in case others are interested too.

I found these earlier this week on the internet - John Chards hand drawn diagrams of the Rorkes Drift battle made for Queen Victoria.

They were a revelation to me as I missed the news of their discovery in the summer this year. There is a good quality PDF copy of them if you follow the link.
