ZULU Final Battle with Michael Caine - 'They've got a very good bass section mate, but no top tenors...' Even then, Heldentenors were scarce. The anniversary of Rorke's Drift 1879, with magnificent Zulu warriors, and my favorite British service rifle - the Martini-Henry 577-450. In Zim, I stood with the Ndebele.

ReplyDeleteMen of Harlech, stop your dreaming,
Can't you see their spearpoints gleaming?
See their warrior pennants streaming,
To this battle field!
Men of Harlech stand ye steady,
It can not be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready,
Welshmen never yield!
From the hills rebounding,
Let this war cry 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!
