To make the Anniversary of the Battle Of Rorke's Drift (1879) here is the Men Of Harlech scene from the 1964 film Zulu.... Although the 24th Foot was a South Warwickshire Regiment at the time of the Battle, there was a significant number of men from South Wales in the 2nd Battalion, as testified by the names of the defenders at Rorke's Drift. The Regiment became the South Wales Borderer's 2 years later under the Childers reforms due to its close links with South Wales. | British & Commonwealth F
