  5.  @dougearnest7590  No as a name we would spell and pronounce it, it Zee Zee. as double letters it would be Zed Zed. Out of intrest , cause we are winding each other up:-) How would Zoo be pronounced in US.? Mind you sit drinking tea in England when a very attractive American Girl walks in complaining she can't find her Fanny bag. She wondered why I and my friend sprayed tea everywhere and were chocking. Well, to put it delicaltly :-) By fanny you may mean back, opposite in England.

  6. The rifles at 1:47 are British Long Lees. The famous Mauser Rifles ,were actually few on the ground. The Commando's fought with what they had. A lot of Brtish subjects were also forced to work for Boer Coloums, Fortunatley by 1914 the Britsh Army had learnt a lot of lessons from South Africa, and we were friends again. It is also why Churchill named the Speacial Stricking Forces in WW2 Commando's. Another story worth remebering of this time , that of Breacker Morant and the Bushveldt Carbiners.
