Zulu

[Jon Skagfeld]

Those of you who, like me, watch "Zulu" and "Zulu Dawn", from time to time might be interested in the following:

WRT to the thread which Hanno linked in, about the 60+ year old Maisy Battery, in the same publication, Armourer Militaria Magazine, Issue 73, Jan/Feb 2006, is the following extract from an article on p 72...

"The death last year of James Booth, who played Hook in the film "Zulu"...

...and Joe Powell, who played Sgt Windridge...

...another "Zulu" star, Larry Taylor who played Pte Hughes (soldier with the leather collar)...also took part in "Zulu Dawn".

In passing, it's interesting to note that Henry Hook (Yer no good Hookie...Hookie, that's a flogging offense.) was a Temperance man, not taken to drink at all.
