Always interesting 😊

This museum should be moved to a safer nation. The UK does not deserve it any longer.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the British lancers the 17th lancers didn't arrive until after isandlwana

The way things are going we've got more museums and more weaponry in museums than we have troops and bases

Very cool thanks!

A very nice regimental museum, during my two visits to the UK (1999 and 2005) I had the chance to visit a few military museums, they all seemed to me fairly small but well-designed. I remember particularly the nice museum of the Royal Green Jackets at Winchester. The Household Cavalry Museum was fairly gloomy although its curator (Major Kersting, 1999) was an excellent and courteous guide.

Being a woman, I have to comment on a few additional things: the fashion and the fighting femme. I thought they were going to be brave filmmakers and semi-accurately dress the female main character as an appropriately clad married gentlewoman when she had her hair entirely covered in that first hall scene, but alas, they couldn't bring themselves to trade appeal for accuracy. An eyeblink later, she's running around with her hair flying about, maidenly and silkily clean in an era before shampoo, during an absolutely terrifying crisis in front of a dozen armed men she just met and pervy King John on the other team of barbarians. Not even a braid to keep it from being grabbed by all and sundry during the fight while she's valiantly wielding a mace that looks like it would weigh at least 10 lbs if made with era appropriate materials, so dang, she got the stamina of the veteran Templar knight twice her size in that lovely slender frame. She also crazy af for going out there in a gown (albeit with a cool off the shoulder ensemble complete with a rivets on the bodice...wow, must be just as good of protection as Marshall's hauberk!) There are several more fashion sins, but I will get on to the next point about she of the luxurious swinging locks: wow, what a warrior woman. Like my goodness, people are getting split in half and there's our feminist icon right there in the thick as if she's been training with the young squire in the muddy yard every day. Honestly, everything about this lady was nowhere near how a woman of that time conducted herself, and I do hope people kniw that. She initiates conversation with Marshall, who is wearing the insignia of a highly respected holy order. Tends to his wound personally, giving him sass, when there are males to do the bandaging. She seeks him out alone, as if privacy was an actual thing. The whole picking up his sword thing...I snorted my drink so hard right there, it came out my nose. I was wondering if she was going to put a Scarlet Letter on her chest and get it over with, or dump some anachronistic gasoline on her reputation and flick a lighter...and don't get me started on what happened in that barn. I'm all for modern ideas of equality, but they look ridiculous in medieval England. The gender customs of that time weren't just stuffy misogyny. There were no paternity tests nor were SA evidence kits a thing. Reputation was absolutely necessary to one's credibility and safety. Boundaries of class, gender, status, and wealth were things the smart person of the time didn't cross.

Amazing!

Love york a holiday favourite as a younen ❤

Dear Frederick Hitch - London is now majority non white.

Great movie.

Great commentary yet again! Thankyou

Good doc! 'Scots Greys' rather than Scotch Greys, ' 'Scotch is a drink' according to John Laurie from Dad's Army.

This is a much needed analysis. The Anglo-centric account stems from the efforts of a British captain who was charged a decade later with collecting oral histories of the battle from surviving British officers. This was a laudable effort, but it also resulted in a very English slant, with barely any attention paid to the Prussians, who broke through the angle of Napoleon's lines at around 6:30 pm, invested the rear of the Old Guard, and started the panic that became a rout of the French army. Although director Sergei Bonderdunk couldn't make enough mud, he still landscaped about ten square mile of the Ukraine to match the Waterloo battlefield, and even planted the correct crops! The expense of it all bankrupted Dino de Laurentis's production company.

We can never know the true story

What a jumbled up, poorly edited bore this film was. This moment in history was very interesting, but this movie was a slop bucket that blew through a big budget to make a dismissible, garbled mess that neither celebrates a great Zulu victory, or shames a moronic English defeat. This was no where near as good as "Zulu". I blame poor casting and an unskillful screenplay. Burt Lancaster? You call that acting? No charisma. The Zulus are portrayed as a Zombie army, their leader portrayed as a Sadist, and the English as what they are, TeaBagging wankers. Was the director of photography a wedding photographer? Everyone seems so stilted, except the Zulu Dancing scenes, which are the best part of this whole rotten egg. P.U. this thing stinks.

Excellent. Thankyou

Hey SDB great upload ❤

So interesting

I have read enough British military history to know that the hateful (there is no other word) British government NEVER took care properly of their war veterans. Does Lloyd George´s famous sentence "A land fit for heroes" ring a bell? It is both sad and infuriating, and I am not even British. I always have a deep sympathy and respect for old soldiers, it is as simple as that. War veterans should be priority No. 1 for any decent gorvernment.

What if Lady Jane Grey hadn’t been executed and was spared, she had kids with Gilford Dudley and became queen of England in 1603. How would she have ruled England in your thoughts and opinions? Great video it’s sad what happened to Lady Jane Grey poor child

Thanks for this informative look at Clifford tower. I am fascinated by the history of the churches and castles of england.

Interesting 🤔

Hey Sdb tis loka really interesting and if i wcer ventilation oop norf ill be aure to try get ghere x

Sense of reality with this collection. Fascinating!

THis movie is a classic. Portraying the bravery against overwhelming odds.

Thanks so much for sharing all there is very interesting , very beautiful greetings from Mexico city!!!

Enjoyed this!

The massacre of the Jewish community is heartbreaking.

Really cool, thanks for sharing

Hello! Here is your Argie fan! (LOL) The number of artefacts and historically important buildings you have in the UK is mind-boggling. The same happens all over Europe, particularly in the land of my ancestors, Italy. I shall never catch up with all the videos I have in my "Watch Later" folder! 😭😭😭Thank you! 😁😁😁

Fascinating place!

😊😊 I always wanted to live in a tower and be rescued by a knight ♞ in shining armour 😊😊

Thank you very much for this video. I like the way you tell facts from fiction in a clear, straightforward manner without going into unnecessary details or trying to show off great knowledge. Luckily, in 2004 I purchased a most beautiful edition of the "Waverley Novels" (Adam & Charles Black, Edinburgh, 1871) for a ridiculous price. Some of Scott´s novels are more entertaining and easy to read than others. Thanks to you I shall start on "Rob Roy" this weekend! I vaguely remember the film, which was entertaining at the expense of historical accuracy (as usual). Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Let's keep in mind whatever atrocities happened the undeniable truth is that the British invaded America! The Americans had no imperialist interests the British invaded another country!

Keeping the Jocks in their place....

Great objective analysis of the battle in which the contribution of the Dutch is finally recognised.

I recognize one of the rooms on the inside from the 2008 BBC Drama TV Movie of The Duchess.

Very Interesting.

The British used a PHALANX which was often used by the Israelites against their enemies as written in the Old Testament 📖

My home miss it so much because l live in England now because of my job but will never be the same down here Scotland is my home can’t wait to go back home 😢😢

Pure bracing ventilation!

Great vid

How boring really, I mean one could never mistake this fantastic film for a documentary, ...thank God for that!

Zulu Dawn was a great movie but it completely bombed at the box office. The scenes before the actual battle with Durnford, Chelmsford & Pulliene were very well worked out & you can see why Elliot was chosen for "the gentle Pulliene", ever ready to accommodate Col Durnford (Lancaster) into the British camp & make him part of the Imperial effort. Another thing they did well was that sense of impending doom surrounding the thing as you see Crealock's (Jayston's) unease as Noggs Newman (Lacey) harangues him whilst reports come in of the camp's unrest. We could do wonders nowadays with the technology we've got by way of the battle. It would be much more visceral, bloody & realistic. The original'79 print does no justice to the fight as both Zulu & Imperials seem evenly matched. I think to do this film today would be a good idea as it shows tremendous fortitude on the side of both Zulu & Brit alike.

Based on what I read, Christian had wanted to either an academic or legal career, but his mother ran out of money , so Christian, one suspects reluctantly, joined the navy, at the advanced age of 17...it's also probable he was still unused to Bligh's verbal tirades, and was told it was par for the course for being a sailor in the Royal Navy in the 18th Century...time might have improved him had he been willing to endure it, but he could not.

😊 hey SDB great upload x

Enjoyed great commentary yet again. Thankyou
