About David Doig

  • Corporal in the Natal Mounted Police:
  • 104 “ D Doig (escaped from Isandlwana)

Excerpt from The Washing Of The Spears: The Rise and Fall of the Zulu Nation'' by Donald R. Morris: Troopers Doig and Shannon of the Natal Mounted Police had also gotten out by Fugitive's Drift, and they rode by to see how their comrades were doing. Hunter and Green could not walk, and Lugg could not ride. Too weak to help move the heavy boxes and sacks, Lugg was lashing the split stock of his carbine together with an old rein, and he intended to stay and fight. Doig and Shannon also rode on.
