In this audio, we follow the men of the Irish and Welsh 24th Regiment (later became known as the Royal Welsh) and the heroes they would become at the Battle of Rorke's Drift during the Zulu Wars. This is a captivating story about fear and courage and of being in combat.
Rob Caskie will intrigue you with his recount of the Battle of Rorke's Drift. Rorke's Drift is arguably one of the most famous British battles ever fought where eleven Victoria crosses and five distinguished medals were issued. The Royal Regiment of Wales or Royal Welsh consisting of 139 men would fight off an attack by 4000 Zulus. It is the highest number of Victoria Crosses ever given at a single battle. We tell the life story of some of the heroes of this battle.
