Lovely, what a pleasant lilt! Since we seem to be doing counties (and I dont think Ive seen it yet), maybe Widdecombe Fair?

[@patrioticarchive]

That wasn't my intention, but I'll look out for songs or marches to try and cover all the English counties.

[@dernochjungenoergler]

I now understand why they didn’t use this in Zulu. Imagine trying to sing this shit. More tongue twisters than actual tongue twisters have

[@joshuagrover795]

Warwickshire Lad would have been more accurate since the majority of soldiers were the 2nd Battalion of B Company of the 24th Foot, subsidly the 2nd Warwickshire Regiment later in July 1881 changed to the South Wales Borderers now the modern day Royal Welsh.

@@joshuagrover795 did you read what I said or did you just post this for the sake of it? It’s irrelevant to my statement.

[@joshuagrover795]

@@sarahshaw7315 I am only saying in Zulu, 1964 the narrator Richard Burton mentions the regiment at Rouke Drift was the South Wales Borderers which is incorrect for the time period only bit of history and no harm and some viewers of comments meant want to know why because of your comment.

@@joshuagrover795 I legit do not give a single fuck, if I wanted to know if have researched it. It just so happens I never watched the movie, I just know what song they used. I made a joke about how hard this song is to sing.
