Now a hospital site, the Eastern Barracks of Colonial times was attacked by a horn of Xhosa warriors (advancing away from the camera) in the Battle of Grahamstown, 22 April 1819. At a range of 36m, the musket and artillery fire of the defenders took a terrible toll, but, with powder running out, legend has it that Elizabeth Salt, unmolested by the Xhosa, who did not harm women in battle, carried a keg to the troops, so saving the day: a pivotal moment, some would say, in the history of South Africa.
