Why does these guys remind me of this:

Mr. Witt sir... be quiet now will you, there's a good gentleman, you'll upset the lads.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I still can't figure out why they made Rev. Witt such a coward in the movie. In real life he was a great help to the troops at the battle. Also the character of Trooper Hook, who went on to receive the Victoria Cross was portrayed as a malingerer throughout the movie. The real Trooper Hook was a hero's hero before the action at Rourke's Drift.

.....you'll upset the lads

Great stuff. Just before the record number of awards for the Victoria Cross, at Rorkes Drift.1878.

Funny thing though, too many co-incidences for my well being. Kember is stated as being from Pinner, Middlesex. I was from the neigbouring district, as a young lad. Sir (if you please) Elton John, comes from Pinner. I wonder if he put in a good word for Kember? My adopted home town is Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, now loudly touted as the home town of James Loney.(a fellow hostage of Kimber).

A battery of lovely people on our T/V tonight. Ah so happy, praising the Lord. Not a bloomin' peep about our now better known special forces. Nary a word.

An old song comes to mind- Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
