You really dont want to watch new history documentaries, you know what you are going to get; politics, woke, race and gender issues etc. Real history does not exist in media anymore. History is being used as a weapon.

That was an interesting, informative, and well put together video. However, I must take exception with the narrator, or more exactly whoever wrote his script concerning British small arms at the time. According to the script the issue rifle went from muzzle loaders, probably the P1853 musket, to the breechloading Martini-Henri. The intermediate rifle was the Snider conversion. This was a P1853 musket converted to a breech-loader by adding a breech block. It worked much like the Allin conversion in US rifles, but swung to the side, not forward. Black powder did gum things up, even jamming rifles. However, to hold the rifle at extended arm's length as stated, because of bruised shoulders and excessive recoil, I question that. I had a Martini-Henri and its .577/450 cartridge dwarfed .45-70-405. It had a healthy recoil and I always made sure the rifle was snug to my shoulder before squeezing one off, otherwise I think I would have risked breaking it for sure. Thanks for the video, I marked it for future reference.

It's mad to think that less than 40 years later, the British would try the same tactics as the Zulu's in the battles of WW1 as they went across nomansland only to be machine gunned enmasse by the Germans. I take my hat off to all soldiers who have fallen in battle, I doubt I would be anywhere near as brave.

British are among top sources of foreign interference in Greece and Cyprus. Let's just tell it straight the British owe trillions of dollars and looted stuff to Greece.
The British owe trillions of dollars and looted stuff to India. The British owe trillions of dollars and looted stuff to Africa. The British owe trillions of dollars and looted stuff to the Middle East.
The British owe trillions of dollars and looted stuff to Australia. When are the British going to pay their bills?

A bit stupid to continue with the myth that the QM of the 24th refused to supply Durnfords troops with ammo because they didn't belong to the battalion. It was quite sensible to not issue Durnfords troops with ammo, as they used Sniders and Westley-Richards rifles that could not use the .577/.450 cartridges of the 24th. The ammo box myth is also gettingh a bit long in the tooth as every damn NCO on the firing line should have had their standard issue combination tool to hand, that included several screwdrivers. The broken ammunition boxes is more likely to have been broken into by the Zulus after the battle......

You know, out of all the wars we've been involved in, over our two thousand year history, the Boer War is the one that I know the least about. Why is it hardly ever covered? Thing is, how do you think that empires are made? It's not a tickling contest. What we have done is no different than what every other empire has done over time, whether it's the Spanish, the French, the Americans etc. We were just the largest and most distinctive empire in history. If the Spanish empire had eclipsed our own empire, it would be the Spanish empire getting the flack now.
