Adding Kilts to Remakes of Old Movies

[Jock Scot]

Aye, Jock...and actually, the regiment was known as the 2nd Warwickshires in 1879; the name "South Wales Borderers" would come with the Cardwell reforms of 1881. While the regimental depot was in South Wales, the regiment was not exclusively Welsh.

And one more point: Men of Harlech was not the regimental march; it was The Warwickshire Lads. The words used in "Zulu" were written especially for the movie:

Don't get me wrong; I love "Zulu" and especially Men of Harlech, but I love the real story as well.

Cheers,

Todd

Hi Todd,yes I knew about the Warwickshire(pronounced worrick-shire) connection,but I did not want to complicate things!I have family connections to both the Warwicks and the SWB.I might have known you would pick me up on this!
All the best,
