Or visit www.rrw.org.uk - select 'museums' then under SWB Museum select 'Facts Sheets' you will find various versions of the words to'Men of Harlech' the regimental march.
26th November 2001	Dan Rudary Here are the words to the version of "Men of Harlech" that the men of the 24th sang in the movie "Zulu". Men of Harlech stop your dreaming Can't you see thier spear points gleaming See thier warrior pennants streaming To this battle field Men of Harlech stand ye steady It cannot be ever said ye For the battle were not ready Stand and 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 Deep these fighting words before ye Welshmen shall not yield
