He left on the fateful day of the Zulu attack to track down troops at Helpmekaar due to be protecting the pontoons Lt Chard was in charge of. Before he left he told Chard he was the senior to Lt Bromhead and “don’t worry – nothing will happen, and I shall be back this evening later”.  A disastrous prediction as history tells us…

Major Spalding didn’t reach Helpmekaar since he found, two companies of the 1st/24th heading towards him. One was to protect Chard’s pontoons and the other was to support B Company 2nd/24th at the Mission Station. They came within sight of the hospital and stores, just some 3 miles away and the attack by massed of Zulus with the Hospital is on fire.  They chose discretion over valour and returned to Helpmekaar rather than affect a Rescue at Rorke’s Drift…
