Oddly, I can't seem to discover if the "video" about Isandlwana by Peter Quantrill and Ron Lock in the store is a DVD or a VHS? We in the States can play any PAL DVD on any newer DVD player, but if its a VHS we're stuck.

Sawubona,

If you tick in www.rrw.org/shop [the website of the Royal Regiment of Wales] you can purchase the dvd and a damn good one it is too.

All the best, Robert

Thanks to both of you. Check me on this one, but I didn't see that it was listed as anything other than a "video" without being clearly stated as a DVD.

I just checked it out, Alan, and the shop doesn't say whether its a DVD or a VHS. The museum however does.

The RDVC shop version is a video, VHS.

Thanks for that last Alan. I do want a copy of it and didn't think it mattered from where I purchased it, but it does make a huge difference. Unless someone knows something I don't about VCR's, I'm of the understanding that a VHS from the UK (in PAL) is absolutely unplayable in the States. No problems with a DVD from the UK though. Thanks again, you saved me a lot of hassle.
