Can anyone enlighten me on the link between Zulus and Sheppey. As a boy, Zulus were always a big part of the carnival. In those days they were played by the Navy, and they used to storm ashore on the beach in boats. Very Zulu-correct I'm sure. They would make a big thing of carrying off the better looking girls. All great fun for a little boy to be a bit scared. I found some photos of the Navy guys all dressed up as Zulus somewhere, I think its on the Kent History Forum. I'd just love to know the link between Zulus and Sheppey!
