Zulu Film - Men Of Harlech + Final Battle Scene

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

...can everyone just stop this arguing and random fact statin, it doesnt really matter weither they were mostly english, scottish or welsh, i'm neither nationality when this song gets playing, I'm just British and proud, plain and simple

@swanyAJ Please learn to speak English before trying to back up England, it quiet embarrassing to see you throw pathetic arguments at people when you your self don't even know anything which happened at Rorke's Drift . For a start it was a Welsh regiment with English people in it.

@Jord838 Apologies, but that's not correct. In 1879 the 24th Regiment of Foot was the Warwickshire Rgt. An English regiment. It had a lot of Welshmen in it and the regimental depot had been moved to Brecon. A few years after the battle the 24th was amalgamated with the South Wales Borderers and became 24th Regiment of Foot, the South Wales Borderers. The SWB did exist at the time of Rorke's Drift but they weren't there.

on the matter of origins (for what it matters) even a website on the battle quotes a historian as saying :49 were English, 18 Monmouthshire,16 Irish, 1 Scottish, 14 Welsh and 21 of unknown nationality. (The Noble 24th. by Norman Holme) Of course Monmouthsire is not a nationality and was a county in Wales. Even 14 out of 80 (never mind 14+18) is a far higher % than the Welsh pop of the British Isles population - so its more accurate to say it was a regt with a not insignificant Welsh influence

w@karezza6 Well congratulations!! I never would of guessed that was the British Army, It doesn't matter where they are from they fight in the same Army, and that still stands now!!

I'm Welsh, I'm British They are both the same place... My Home!!

to be british means nothing now it will be britianstan one day

I absolutely love this movie and I love all the Welsh songs in this movie. I am Cornish, Irish and Scottish descent and if I find any Welsh origins I will be really proud. Loved Micheal Caine and it was very funny, that when he opened up his mouth to yell - you could see his silver fillings, which do doubt would not have been there in 1879 at Rorke's Drift.

the fact is it was a regiment of the warwickshire's , only 19 welsh men .

the truth is everyone a bloody brave man , and this should not be forgot .

be proud and stand straight ye men of harlech

@3tangle3 3tangle3 does it really matter where these origins came from? just be proud of your country and be proud of your nationality and just enjoy the song/film
