Scrap that, in all my study of this battle, I have never looked it up.
It's not Men of Harlech.

Although depicted in the movie "Zulu" as being the "South Wales Borderers", at the time of the action the 24 Regiment of Foot was called the "2nd Warwicksire" and its regimental march was "Warwicksire Lads".
Although its home depot was moved to Wales in 1875, it didn't become a Welsh regiment until the name was changed in !881, and the song "Men of Harlech", so stirringly performed in the movie, at that time became the regimental ditty.........
What was Ben Hur's oar station number?
