25 October is Saint Crispin’s day. Shakespeare’s “Henry V” calls forth the remembrance of the Battle of Agincourt that may have changed the future of England. Shakespeare gives Henry a wonderful “Band of Brothers” speech that may or may not have some real historical background to it. Other notable battles have also happened on that day, the Charge of the Light Brigade and the naval Battle of Leyte Gulf for two. The clip is from a movie of Henry V.
