That's amazing. My distant none maternal relative lt tiegnmouth melvill as portrayed in zulu dawn by James Faulkner was pomostuasly awarded the vc for saving the 1st 24ths colours at the Battle of Isandlwana. I dread to think what was going through the minds of the 5 companys of 1st 24th and the 1 company of the 2nd battalion that were massacred. To the boys who defended rorkes drift even though the main part of their regiment were dead from the previous battle. One scene I always get a chill from on zulu dawn is when Chelmsford returns to the camp and one of his officers says "I rode a little along the track to rorkes drift the sky is red with fire" I always think of those brave individuals who were at rorkes drift and the gallant resistance they put up for 13 long hours of fighting

Some critics said this scene was absurd, but the Zulus testified that just before thay made their final charge at Islawanda ( the battle they fought just before Roark's Drift, where they slaughtered the British) the soldiers sang God Save The Queen and shook each other's hands. By the way, the song is also sung, in Welsh, in the movie Apache Drums.

You mean instead of having single shot rifles and being outnumbered 45 to one as they really were in a 12 hour battle?

These soldiers showed great bravery, but I would have armed the Africans protecting their home.

They should make more movie and TV shows like this

Hair on the back of the neck is up, what a great rendition or this great song.

This has to be one of the best battle songs ever!

An alternate version: 1. What's the good of wearing braces, Vests and pants and boots with laces, Spats or hats you buy in places Down in Brompton Road? What's the use of shirts of cotton, Studs that always get forgotten? These affairs are simply rotten: Better far is woad. Woad's the stuff to show, men. Woad to scare your foemen: Boil it to a brilliant hue And rub it on your back and your abdomen. Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on Anything as good as woad to fit on Neck, or knees, or where you sit on. Tailors, you be blowed. 2. Romans came across the Channel All wrapped up in tin and flannel: Half a pint of woad per man'll Dress us more than these. Saxons, you can waste your stitches Building beds for bugs in britches: We have woad to clothe us, which is Not a nest for fleas. Romans keep your armours; Saxons your pyjamas: Hairy coats were meant for goats, Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas. Tramp up Snowdon with our woad on: Never mind if we get rained or blowed on. Never want a button sewed on. Go it, Ancient Bs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Anthem_of_the_Ancient_Britons
