23rd April 2001	Men of Harlech By James Wilson I found this web site with the lyrics of several diffent versions of "Men of Harlech" including the one used in the movie "Zulu" http://ingeb.org/songs/menofhar.html?clkd=iwm

26th April 2001	James Wilson Here is a link to another site with a history of the song. (Can you tell I like the song?) http://www.data-wales.co.uk/harlech.htm
26th April 2001	Peter Critchley Again James, very interesting!! I think I'll add them both to the links page! All the best. Peter
30th April 2001	George Hartnell Well, those site and words are good. But, from my ears, none of the lyrics fit snugly with the words on the (excellent) site rendition. Perhaps the Royal Regiment of Wales might be a resource? The words to the 1964 "Zulu" tune are a wee bit off, as well. Of course, for me, a "wee bit off" is a merciful discription of my singing.... Very best, G.
29th May 2001	Bernard Wilson The version of MoH given on this website has to be the best. Sung by the Royal Regiment of Wales, at Rorkes Drift! The lyrics are available via e-mail from the Royal regiment of Wales museum, but,although the exact words as sung on this site, they are in different verse order. I will send the words to the person running the site for possible inclusion on the web site.
1st June 2001	James Wilson It is quite stiring. The people I work with are, by now, quite use to me queing it up on the computer (thanks to the download on this site).
