After the actual Rorke's Drift battle, 11 Victoria Crosses (the highest British award "for valour") were awarded, the highest number ever given in a single conflict.

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never yield

Thanks for posting those details of the battle... Great movie... even if it did exaggerate the "history".

Men of Harlech stop your dreaming
Can't you see their spear points gleaming
See their warrior's pennants streaming
To this battle field
Men of Harlech stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Welshman never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding
Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen will not yield
