Alfred Hook races forward to help private John Williams bring the two surviving patients into the hospital ward where they held off the attacking Zulus at bayonet point before breaking through a partition and bringing eight more patients into the defense. painted in a matt finish the figure stands approx 5cm tall

A distant room of the hospital had been held for more than an hour by three privates, and when finally they had no ammunition left the Zulus burst in, and killed one of the men and two patients. One of the privates John Williams however, succeeded in knocking a hole in the partition and taking the last two patients through into the next ward, where he found Private Hook. These two men then worked together - one holding the enemy at bayonet point while the other broke through three more partitions - and they were then able to bring eight patients into the inner line of defence
