Great movie – shows a side of warfare not often portrayed – authentic feel of the Boer War too. |

If Breaker Morant gets the juices stirring about this first modern conflict, I would suggest reading Thomas Pakenham "The Boer War" to get a very good overall understand of the conflict. |

Good film,
good boer war feeling |

CooperSteveOnTheLaptop I will have a look this week for you if you wish, and if I find a copy I can mail it too you, a £1.00 GBP won't break the bank. old smokie |
| CooperSteveOnTheLaptop | 12 May 2008 6:38 a.m. PST |
That would be extremely generous! |
| Old Smokie | 12 May 2008 6:41 a.m. PST |
no problem, if I find a copy I'll post here on TMP to let you know sometime this week should be either tommorow or Wednesday. old smokie |

The movie was used as a training aid for discussion for law of war training when I was in the army (this was the 80s).

Breaker Morant is one of my favorite movies. Well acted and a great story. |

Well I ran across "Castle Keep" at my local Big Lots this weekend for $3, so I'm not complaining. |

"A View of Vultures" remains my definitive "experience" of the Boer War. How, btw, can the Boer War have a "good feel?" |

Will look out for that film, I like it and haven't seen it in years. As an aside, I never realised the significance of the Kop to Liverpool football club till my Dad told me about Spion Kop. |

It's your lucky day friend I managed to get you a copy after trawlling through a whole pile of DVD's. If you email me your address I will post it on to you, I will send it recorded delivery, just to make sure it does not get lost by the royal mail. My email is : oldsmokieATsupanetDOTcom |
| CooperSteveOnTheLaptop | 13 May 2008 5:56 a.m. PST |
Thanks- look out for my mail |

Damn, I went into Poundland in Basingstoke and couldn't find one anywhere! Will have to try some other branches. |

Great film. I do believe I'll dig it out and watch it this evening. |
