It's so interesting hearing Irish trad music in a British patriotic context, normally it's rebel music.

In our army we're the best From the north, south east or west The best of boys are following the drum. We are mighty hard to bate, I may say without concate, Faith the enemy are welcome when they come. Be they Russiand, French or Dutch Sure it doesn't matter much, We're the boys to give 'em sugar in their tay For we're the Connaught Rangers, The lads to face all dangers, Fallaballah, fallaballah, Clear the way! cho: You may talk about your guards boys Your lancers and hussars boys Your fusiliers and royal artillery (without the guns) The girls we drive'em crazy, the foe we beat them easy The rangers from old Connaught, yaarrr, the land across the sea! Now allow me here to state, It is counted quite a trate, In old Ireland just for fight for friends's sake To crack your neighbor's head, Or maybe your own instead. Faith 'tis just the fun and glory of a wake So you see all Irish boys are accustomed to such noise It's as natural as drinking whiskey neat. For there's none among them all, from Kingston to Donegal, Like the gallant Connaught Ranger on his beat. Chorus T'was Bonaparte who said as the Frenchmen on he led Marshall Soult, be them the Rangers do you know? Faith says Soult, there's no mistake, to our heels we'd better take I think it's time for you and I to go. When the colleens hear their step, it makes their hearts to leap Aaargh, jewels will ye wist till Parrick's day? For they are the Connaught Rangers, the boys that fear no dangers And they're the lads that always take the sway. Chorus Now you haven't far to search, for the lads who best can march The lads that never fear the longest day, Faith you easily will know, their dashing step will show Tis the Connaught boys who always lead the way. If me words perhaps you doubt, come and join 'em on a route I'm thinkin' you'll not find it quite a treat; You'll see them in the van, you may catch them if you can Faith you'll have to travel fast or you'll be late.

You do know that the Connaught Rangers were disbanded in 1916 afterthought mutinied in India because they heard about the Easter Rising, thought they weren't British any more and refused to Obey orders: it wad when they were being shot fir mutiny they realised the rising had failed.

they where disbanded when Ireland got independence and hence Connacht was no longer part of the UK, nothing to do with the mutiny, sure they are from the west of Ireland, probably as far away from Britian as you can get whilst on Irish soil

Men of Harlech is a great song. However the regiment at Rorkes Drift was an English regiment which was the Royal Warwickshire Reginent(24th Foot). It had 16 Irishmen including Surgeon Reynolds. Zulu is a great movie but it has historians tearing their hair due to inaccuracies. The vast majority of the garrison was English.
