If you've never all seen this, trust me, it:s well worth te time, a true story, though not terribly accurate, one of the Victoria Cross winners was depicted here as a drunkard, his daughters were so offended, they walked out of the premiere, still, I found it quite wroth watching, honest...

Yes, sadly, entertainment is needed over accuracy. So liberties were taken with Private Hook's character. In all actuality, Hook had a fairly well-behaved British Army life with no misdemeanors, bad behavior, etc. As an interesting aside, there were actually 12 Victoria Crosses awarded. Color Sergeant Bourne was awarded one and traded his for a commission.
Now of course, the "dispatch" had already gone out saying that he'd been awarded it, so although he passed on it in return for commission, he was accorded the honours bestowed on someone who was given it.

I have this movie, as well as, several other Zulu movies. Shaka Zulu by far is my favorite. Nice post Capt Daniel Goodman
