The 145 anniversary is today. Rest in peace those who fought and died there.

Just getting ready to make the exact same comment. You beat me to the trigger.

Did you know at the premier of the film , private hooks daughters (which were older) walked out of the cinema due to the fact private hook was a tea total religious gentleman, not a rouge from the east end

Shame, as they would have seen him being shown as a brave man and hero at the end.

@@lyndoncmp5751 they already knew he was that, but I get what you mean 👍

[@lyndoncmp5751]

@@Johnny-w15 Cheers. While it's not an accurate portrayal by any means, Hook is still a humourous loveable character and does become a hero. He's not some nasty villain and the film made the name Henry Hook pretty famous for a lot of people.

They say the 577-450 Martini Henry was 95 to 98 percent fatal wherever it hit you due to shock & blood loss. So a small wounded figure is probably correct.
