One of my all-time favourite movies and soundtracks. The music is so powerful and fitting.

I have read many comments on here concerning the English or Welsh debate, the answer is that at the time of the battles (Isandhlwana and Rorkes Drift), the 24th was English, it's full title being, the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) regiment of foot. The regiment relocated it's depot to Brecon and recruited men from the area, hence some Welsh in the regiment. After the reforms of 1881 the 24th sadly had it's name changed to the south wales borderers. The SWB did NOT exist during the Zulu wars.

Never get tired of this. Stirring. Thanks for posting.

@travett1001 Those who fought in Isandhlwana? I'm not sure about the Zulus, but it took the 24th about 6 months to finally go back there and bury their dead.

I'm curious to know more about this actually, is there any way you could message me some time with some of his stories? Are you saying that men who fought on both sides actually returned to the location?

Here we are again, a bunch if pimply moron arguing about a war they never saw or could never even possibly fathom. Shut up, listen to music, rate and enjoy. End.

My wife visited Isandhlwana with the kids back in the 80s (I had to work in Jo'burg)
The events of Isandlwana bear a remarkable similarity to the battle of the Little Big Horn in Montana territory just 3 years earlier. In each case (Lord Chelmsford, General George Armstrong Custer) The hunter split his forces to search for the enemy within enemy territory and in each case were unaware that they too were prey. Each paid dearly for the lesson. Of course Chelmsford survived his lesson.
