'This will ever be your story'

The video is from the movie Zulu, depicting the besieged British at Rorke's Drift, singing the song 'Men of Harlech.' I thought this was appropriate to post today because in the battle of Rorke's Drift,on this day, January 22, in 1879,  160 British soldiers successfully defended their garrison against thousands of Zulus. Some sources put the number of Zulus at 4000; some say 5000. Eleven soldiers were awarded Victoria Crosses.

Whether they fought off 4000 or 5000, it's an inspirational story, in that the British soldiers prevailed despite their being greatly outnumbered. Something to ponder.

Note: The Mad Monarchist gives a detailed account of that battle here.
