It wasn't a Welsh Regiment...

@Henners1991 Hello, Interesting comment. I will have to view the movie again. I thought it was South wales borderers and I thought I read at least some of the VCs are now in Welsh Museum can you say more. May account for why Michael cane settled in the east end of London and changed his name to Hary Brown and became a Vigilantie. Interesting. things do come up

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming Can't you see their spear points gleaming See their warrior pennants streaming To this battlefield Men of Harlech stand ye steady It cannot be ever said ye For the battle were not ready Stand and never yield From the hills rebounding Let this song be sounding Summon all at Cambria's call The mighty force surrounding Men of Harlech on to glory This will ever be your story Keep these burning words before ye Welshmen will not yield

I had the luck to read the letters of some of the men at Rorke's Drift. The conditions were extreme and they had to keep their uniforms buttoned even in the intense heat! I also think it sad that the survivors, like Jobbins, suffered greatly on their return. In Jobbins case he lived until his eighties and died 'in want' and suffering 'mental distress and enfeeblement'.

@Henners1991 It was an English (British) regiment,although it moved its HQ to Brecon in 1873..6 years before Rorkes Drift.The HQ,(depot) is where men are trained etc & generally 'recruited' from the surrounding areas..The 24th Reg.of foot became the South Wales Borderers in 1881.
