      Britannia
      Why do you think I'm white? Bizarre...
      And I'm a coward for offering an opinion different from yours? Even more bizarre (but very British of you).
      You seem to be confusing the events in the movie "Zulu" with what actually happened in reality. That's not how movies work.
      What about this for reality...
      The British Army and associated colonial troops were armed with state of the art firearms (for the time period), faced a force of untrained (in modern warfare of that period) farmers armed with spears and cow-hide shields. This gave the British a colossal superiority over their foe. This is a fact.
      After the battle Trooper William James Clarke of the Natal Mounted Police described in his diary that 'altogether we buried 375 Zulus and some wounded were thrown into the grave... We were very bitter and did not spare the wounded Zulus'
      Lieutenant Horace Smith-Dorrien wrote that the day after the battle an improvised gallows was used "for hanging Zulus who were supposed to have behaved treacherously'. (British justice) Many wounded Zulus were summarily executed on the Battlefield where they lay. A war crime by modern standards.
      I have no doubt that the individual British soldiers were brave, fought well and did their duty on the day. But please don't try to make it out like a glorious victory for the British Empire. It was another squalid and shameful event in the history of the inglorious, blood soaked British empire.
      In the words of the song;
      "Come tell us how you slew,
      the poor Arabs two by two,
      Or the Zulus armed with their bow and arrows.
      How you bravely slew each one,
      With your sixteen pounder gun,
      You frightened them poor natives to their marrow'.
      And I'm a brat? I'm quite close to pension age!!! LOL!!!

      You can be forgiven when you understand that only 10 soldiers of the 1/24 that fought in the battle were Welsh. Many of the soldiers of the junior battalion, the 2/24, were Welshmen.[55] Of the 122 soldiers of the 24th Regiment present at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, 49 are known to have been of English nationality, 32 were Welsh, 16 were Irish, one was a Scot, and three were born overseas. The nationalities of the remaining 21 are unknown.[56]

    I sang this song at Harlech Castle in Wales with my family and family friends in 1982 when I was twelve! That is an experience I will never forget...some English school children on a field trip thought we were famous and wanted their photo taken with us! Almost half of those who sang it with us there then are gone now. This song means a lot to me and this rendition by Charlotte Church and the Welsh Men’s Choir makes me tear up!
