Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior pennants streaming
To this battlefield
Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Welshmen never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let these war cries 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

Jones-593: Oh, I think he wants to be a hero, Seven-one-six.
Schiess: Haven't you rednecks got names instead of numbers?
Jones-593: This is a Welsh regiment, man - though there are some foreigners from England in it, mind. I am Jones from Builth Cywyd. He is Jones from Builth Wells. There are four more Joneses in C Company. Confusing, isn't it, Dutchy? What's your name, then?
Schiess: It's Schiess - and I'm not Dutch! I'm Swiss.
Jones-716: Well, there's a silly man, by damn. He's got himself into a private war!
Schiess: I belong to Natal Mounted Police.
Jones-593: (sharp intake of breath) That true, then? He's a Peeler, Seven-one-six, come to arrest the Zulus.
Schiess: What do you know about Zulus?
Jones-716: Bunch of savages, isn't it?
Schiess: All right, how far can you rednecks march in a day?
Jones-716: Oh, fifteen, twenty miles, is it?
Schiess: A Zulu regiment can run - RUN - fifty miles, and fight a battle at the end of it!
Jones-593: Well, it's daft that is, then! I don't see no sense in running to fight a battle.

"I don't know what effect these men will have on the enemy, but by God, they terrify me."

Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, talking about the Scotsmen.

Last I heard, Scotland was part of Europe. What.

Me, I say it will be New Zealand. No one ever knows what the hell goes on so far south. Except the Aussies. They will be our only hope...

Just wait till we invade NZ! Once we have unified the lands under the Southern Cross we can move onto the rest of world as long as there's a day off in it.

I didnt expect to see anyone quoting Zulu.

Nah, the Australians are always too busy dying in other people's wars to organise a decent one themselves....definitely the Kiwis, now that Ferdinand Poo went and changed its name..

Okay, I'll re-cycle my old joke:

What about all the hobbits that live there? They were quite a fearsome force.

Meanwhile......at the frontlines of combat...The Scottish juggernaught meets...

The English!

But the stunt double for jimbuna was slightly burned

And the sword fights.
