Jadotville was fought by irish soldiers not british . A battle fought in the Congo in 1960 but soldiers of the Republic of Ireland . not the Uk .. This gentleman is telling us the history of the British Army not Irish . I suggest you educate yourself a bit more

Only through a passing reference reading about the Kimberly horse etc,British military history is such a wonderful landscape veering from total bumbling disaster to incredible feats of genius and fortitude so I learnt a shed load thanks chap....since I saw Zulu as a sprog the Red Surge has held deep fascination here particularly Crimea and Boer wars.The thought if a grenadier gaurd on picket wearing that kit in a muddy freezing waterlogged trench really resonates.✌️
Great video. I think you have moved your auto-cue closer to the camera lens so you now look straight into the camera when speaking. When you started making these videos it seemed you were looking slightly to the slide. A big improvement . I look forward to watching these videos.
Another well informative video of a scrap I'd never heard of. Have you done the siege of Chitral? I have just read an old book about it.....fascinating
@SteveHB59 Indeed! That's due to the Aussies getting pissy over our politics....... meanwhile they were chaining up their Abo's and issuing hunting licences to anyone who wanted one! And plied them with alcohol and smallpox infected blankets! The irony.

What's the difference between a South African and an Australian settler?
The South African paid his own passage.
And a lot of the SA decedents have now fled to Australia. 😆
