I don't think I have any Welsh ancestors but have admired them ever since learning the defenders at Roark's Drift were Welsh Engineers.

Pff. Most of the Rorke's Drift defenders were in fact English.

Recruiting mainly from Warwickshire. The 24th did not become a Welsh regiment until 1881. So this crap about them singing 'Men of Harlech' in the film 'Zulu!' is rubbish...
