Taking to the front line, the 57th formed up on the ridge of the hill, and with the other redcoats advanced in line towards a mass of French infantry who were moving forwards in a column of attack. In the ensuing fire-fight, both sides fought ferociously, neither willing to give ground. Many battalions suffered terrible casualties, and the 57th was among the hardest hit. Inglis himself sustained severe wounds when struck by French canister in chest and neck. Refusing to be carried from the field, as he lay wounded and losing blood, he was heard to cry ‘Die Hard, the 57th, Die Hard!’ The men of the 57th did just that. As soldiers in the ranks fell, their comrades continued the grim work, rallying around the battered regimental colour. The men in the forward battalions fought themselves almost to destruction, salvation coming only when Cole’s 4th division hit the exposed French left flank. (From a forum post about the 57th) The battalion earned the regiment its nickname of "the Die Hards" after their participation in the Battle of Albuera, (order of battle) one of the bloodiest battles of the war, in May 1811. (Wikipedia) This tune is sung by “Songs and Music of the Redcoats” I do not own the song in any way
