We hear a lot about famous last stands in military history, for example the legendary last stands of the 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae and the 200 Texans at the Battle of the Alamo. However, in the West at least, we don’t hear much about the story of the Battle of Saragarhi, in present day Pakistan, where 21 Sikh Indian soldiers of the British Indian army fought a last stand against more than 10,000 Pashtun Afghan tribesmen. Theirs is indeed a remarkable story of hopeless bravery in the same cast as Leonidas’ Spartans - unbelievably brave young men fighting to the death against overwhelming odds.

ULYSSES FILES is a RU-vid channel dedicated to showcasing primarily military history content (plus certain other topics) in short documentary form, featuring interesting and quirky characters and stories from the late 19th Century on through the 1st and 2nd World Wars to the present.
It is not always possible to find 100% accurate footage to illustrate these cinematic short films, but where possible ODYSSEUS FILES strives to keep it authentic. Background music will always attempt to provide appropriate emotional mood.
Topics and content are thoroughly researched and portrayed in their historical context for both educational and entertainment purposes. We try our best to be accurate in terms of the data in our short films, but are not experts in all areas and are always learning new things, so if we get something wrong - please feel free to contact us. Also if you have an idea you believe may fit the scope of our channel - again - do not hesitate to let us know.
