Date:1879
Description:Newspaper cuttings suriving in the Sutherland Papers indicate that the Government’s handling of the Zulu War was viewed sceptically by the general public. This view is evident in the Duke of Sutherland's conclusion to his foreword in the Committee’s Final Report. The Duke writes: ‘should England again be unfortunately called to arms, no time will be lost in organising committees…and that no intimation given on the part of Government officials that such assistance is not required will be listened to by the public, or any effort relaxed to mitigate the aid of private efforts the sufferings of our soldiers during war’.
