During the set-piece battle stage of the Boer War (1899-1902), the Boers always gathered for a short sermon before entering into battle. They prayed and sang psalms. Such a gathering was always concluded by the loud and inspirational singing of the Boer Battle Song (Boerenkrijgslied). The Boer Battle Song is originally a Dutch victory song, called Merck toch hoe sterck, which means See how strong. The Boers adapted the lyrics and called it the Boerenkrijgslied (Boer Battle Song).
a more contemporary one. the battle song of our most successful battle unit since wwii. a mix of natice angolans and portuguese lead by south african officers. the terrible ones.
