    SEIGE OF JADOTVILLE - UN

    Saw this film some years ago. It is a true story about an Irish unit sent to the Congo in the early 60's who were hung out to dry not only by their fellow country men, but also the UN. Watched it again last night, brilliant movie for those that like nostalgic weapos like the 4T/Bren and Auto SLR!

    The detail in weaponry and the handling of such varied weapons is outstanding.
    Highly recommended, when you consider it took over 50 years before these lads were honoured with medals the bravery was outstanding against overwhelming odds.

    Highly recommended viewing guys. This link is when they were old men and given their rightful medal tally:
