- Presentation of the Zulu Diorama's at Brecon Museum with 71, this is a two part video, just need the time for filming some very cool video, stay tuned you'll be glad you did. :)
The Museum tells the fascinating story of some of the British army’s most famous regiments. The Royal Welsh is comprised of antecedent regiments which, through amalgamations, has made it what it is today.
Our antecedent regiments:
The South Wales Borderers (the 24th)
The Royal Welsh Fusiliers (23rd)
The Welch Regiment (the 41st)
The South Lincolnshire (the 69th)
The Monmouthshire Regiment
The Royal Regiment of Wales
The Royal Welsh
The Royal Welsh Regiment exists as a result of a number of mergers of other, earlier units. This table shows the current Regiment’s proud and extensive lineage.
This long history, dating back to the late 1680s, is told through many kinds of objects including uniforms, medals, weapons and models. The regiments have seen action in many prominent events, including the British campaign in South Africa (visit us and discover what really happened in the 1879 Zulu War!), and both world wars. Forty-three of the regiments’ soldiers have received the Victoria Cross, and we commemorate their sacrifice and heroism as well as that of all the men and women associated with our regiments who have contributed so much to our country.

Thank you for the tour .
Thanks so much. God bless the Royal Welsh, brave men all!
Thank you for your kind message.
Thanks for putting this video up Will. I found this by pure chance and now I'm definitely going to be visiting the museum when all this is over. Guessed you were fellow ex-forces as soon as you said 'wrong' when you corrected the calibre from 7.62 to .45. All the best.
Excellent. Thank you. I remember reading Washing of the Spears as a 13 year old boy... it fueled my love of history
without the Past, Present and future, we have no History, and History can not be changed Keep Safe Will 71
The museum is great, and my Dad WO2 DJ Carter was CSM B Coy 1St SWB. His brother, CQMS 1St SWB had the CAFE opposite the barracks.
I have been in that cafe a few times over the years.
These are bloody superb! I watched these back in November / December 2020 and have spent all winter / spring building my own version to wargame with. Done a series of Rorke's Drift videos recently, might interest you. Thanks for the inspiration.
I will have to get myself down here for a visit as well, would be in my element in that room!
Hi, Would be interested in seeing your Vid, you could be on one of our Vid's and have a chat, Keep Safe Will71

Magnificent. What a beautiful museum. Excellent hosting and presentation Will. The diorama is visual art of the noblest form. Truthful reality. Extreme human ( and animal) experience.
Thank you Will for sharing real history. I wish you a super Sunday when the Zulu King arrives. Love your interesting videos.

Thanks, interesting , especially regards the dogs,
I would often pop in here for a quiet break and wander about to clear my head. Good video. This is a great diorama and the museum is well worth a visit. The one in Cardiff Castle also.
He does look familiar. Nice model, not as good as your stuff though!
@@reubendobbs8011 I'm working on the battle of hastings 1066 at the moment. I've finished the Norman's and should have Harold's army finished in a few days. I might try doing a video on it.

Cheers old boy .
Try counting the number of times he slams his fist into the palm of the other hand for emphasis.
Thanks for this.
Thank you for looking, Keep Safe Will 71
The original 24th regiment were not a Welsh regiment , they were mostly English, they were the 2nd Warwickshire Regiment later amalgamated with the South Wales Borderers after the battle. The film was not historically correct about a lot of things but mostly in its portrayal of Private Hook, his family complained at the time they made it to change the name of the Charactor because the original Hook was nothing like the one portrayed in the film. Just saying
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your comment:
Reference Henry Hook, British Musum ua-cam.com/video/CIRTVls5Wj8/v-deo.html
In 1873, Brecon Barracks became the depot, for two battalions of the 24th, 2nd Warwickshire Regiment of Foot. A recruitment drive, for both new battalions began throughout South Wales.
On the 1st July 1881 following the Childers Reforms that reorganised the infantry regiments of the British Army, the 24th Regiment (2nd Warwickshire) was renamed the South Wales Borderers
@@MilitaryHistoryWithWill71 There is an interesting radio interview with Colour Sergeant Frank Edward Bourne; B Coy, 2nd/24th Foot on Utube. He talks about the fact that almost all the casualties on the British side were due to musket fire and very few from hand to hand combat. He gives a different take on the battle than that portrayed in the film. :)
@@MilitaryHistoryWithWill71 I would say, no Regiment in the British Army had all English, Scot's Welsh or Irish it was a miss mash, one King/Queen, one nation, one army, you were told where when and how to go, this is the Britsh Army.
@@fenthedog Thanks for your commets, I would say you are right, but this was a film, not Fact enjoy, Keep Safe and Keep Well. will71
@@MilitaryHistoryWithWill71 I didn't mention that I still love the Diorama! :)
I have read that ,in reality, there was no firing by rank as portrayed in the film Zulu, so which is it?...Thank you...
Entertaining interesting and anything that shows the truth about war and how the British empire maintained their wealth. When I say wealth I mean for the country not the soldiers or wives who's husbands died for their country . Nice fact about ammunition have you seen the claim about the black powder clogging the barrel due to the hot weather and the black powder .
The reason at Islandawana for the slacking in fire was due to where the Ammunition was placed and the line was too far out and spaced to thinly. They should have made a stand at the camp possibly in square but with ammunition and in close order unfortunately they were way out and spread too thin. Even so, initially the Zulus could not advance on them even though the British were in open order. Only when the firing slackened did they make a successful charge. This is recounted by several Zulu eye witnesses. If the British had deployed in square around the ammunition wagons it would have been a very different ending. Tactical error.
@@fenthedog You have hit it on the nail, Keep Safe will71
The same 577/450 round was used at R. D. no report of Black Powder clogging the barrel at this location, words,reports can cover a lot of sin's Keep Safe will71

@Live Life Same Rifle, same Ammo, same Country The Victorian Soldiers of the 24th Regiment were one of the most experanced Regiment of the day, fought in the Cape Wars, marched 2500 miles to enter the Zulu Wars, Islandawana reports by experts of the Martini-Henry having a tendency to jam when the Rifle overheated, R.D. sameday Battle lasted longer, reports if any about the Rifle jaming could not find?
IMPI ORIGINAL MEANING WAS THE THE NAME OF SHAKA ZULU'S WARRIORS( IMPI MEANS WARRIOR)AND LATER THE MEANING CHANGED. NOW THE WORD MEANS "WAR".
