The Brave Defenders of Roarke's Drift Sing "Men of Harlech" to Steel their Courage ~ Movie Clip from "Zulu"

The Heroic Last Stand at Roarke's Drift:
The Battle of Rorke's Drift was a heroic display of British resilience and military prowess that took place on January 22-23, 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War. The defending English troops, numbering only 150 men of the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot, faced an overwhelming force of 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors.

Despite being vastly outnumbered, the English soldiers demonstrated exceptional bravery and tactical acumen under the leadership of Lieutenant John Chard and Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead. They fortified the Rorke's Drift mission station with makeshift defenses, turning it into a formidable stronghold. The Zulu forces launched multiple waves of attacks against the British position, but the defenders held their ground, repelling each assault with a combination of disciplined firepower and ingenious defensive tactics.

The battle lasted for 11 hours, with the English troops enduring relentless onslaughts and grueling fatigue. In the end, the British forces emerged victorious, inflicting heavy casualties on the Zulu warriors and successfully defending the mission station. The Battle of Rorke's Drift became a symbol of British military valor and adaptability, earning 11 Victoria Crosses for the defenders – the most ever awarded for a single action by one regiment.

The courage and determination of the English troops at Rorke's Drift serve as a testament to their unwavering spirit and commitment to defending their country and protecting their fellow soldiers. Their actions in this historic battle will forever be remembered as a shining example of British resilience and tactical prowess.

"At the end of the fighting, 351 Zulus lay dead on the battlefield. Only 17 British were killed, but almost every man in the garrison had sustained some kind of wound." (Wikipedia)

"Rick Rescorla, a Welsh expatriate, retired Green Beret saved thousands of lives on 9/11 by leading an orderly evacuation of one of the towers in which he was employed. As people were making the long decent down the stairwell he sang “Men of Harlech” so loud that it was heard almost to the bottom of the tower. He perished when the tower fell as he was scouring the building for more survivors."

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
Welshmen 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
