"United in the strife that divided them"
This battle took place in 1879. If the soldiers had had 1866 Winchesters (~15 round magazine) rather than the single shot Martini Henry rifle they would have prevailed with no losses. The British military brass thought that the MH was good enough for dealing with the Zulus.

I watched this when I was a small child and ever since learning the song a couple of days after watching it for the first time, I sing it ever time i'm scared or nervous and it fills me with courage and hope and I feel I can take on the world. And it also helps that i'm fiercly proud of being Welsh.

@VampiricVeils actually i jus did this in history and this bit is fictional, only a third of the men station there were welsh because the welsh regiments had not been formed yet
when the welsh start singing you know the shit's going down

"singing in a firefight would kind of give your positions"
LOL! That's some comical military analysis right there! They're in a damn fort or redoubt, it's not like the Zulu's were wondering were the British were.
