Go to the RE Museum in Gillingham. Due to Chard being in the RE it has some nice related bits including his actual pistol used during the fighting. They often do Zulu related events including having relatives of those who took part (including the Zulu warriors).

Agreed, great place.
I went there a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Which is an achievement in itself considering I live a 10 minute drive away
Agree with the sentiments already mentioned, it's a very good exhibition of the evolution of the royal engineers and tells one of the best histories of British conflict of these sorts of museums. Go when a school is not there its not really interesting for kids but those of an engineering background or just with the patience to read the bits with the exhibits it is a good couple of hours well spent
There is a bloody great big section of the Berlin Wall too
