My grandma worked as an ENGLISH women's land army in WW2 and my grandpa was 82nd airborne, they met he brought her to the States, I am forever proud of my ENGLISH SIDE, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!! 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲
the 57th (and the die-hards for that matter) was and were united with the 77th (East Middlesex) Regiment of Foot to form The Middlesex Regiment. (in case anyone was wondering)
Damn! What rich history! I'm loving it! No wonder British Empire ruled the world! Even with commonwealth you have now... you guys are still badasses! From the Uk all the way to Australia! I'm proud to call you allies! And would be shitting bricks if we weren't!
thank you for the compliment nice to see not everyone is sore about our past. you will never find a braver man than the british infantry man we've developed that rep and we plan to keep it so.
When the bugle for battle so merrily sounds, In the ranks of the Die-Hards each heart then rebounds, As fearless of danger, right onward we go, When up go our colours and down go the foe. Be they Russians or Prussians or Spanish or French, At scaling a rampart or guarding a trench, Neither bullet nor bayonet our progress retards, For it's just all the same to the gallant Die-Hards. Our regiment has conquered, but never in vain, Bear witness those hills and the mountains through Spain, Bear witness the shades of those hundreds who fell At red Albuera, and our victory can tell How Soult and his Frenchmen were beaten and sank, As we fell on them fiercely, rank after rank, Invincible seemed those brave children of Mars, When Lord Beresford styled us the "Gallant Die-Hards". What harm if we suffer from hardship at times, What harm if e're bronzed by those hot eastern climes, Such trifles as these our spirits can't damp For we're jovial in battle and more so in camp, Watch the girls, how they smile when we march through a town, When they hear we're the Die-Hards of far famed renown, So fill up your glasses and show your regard By drinking the health of each jolly Die-Hard.
One original verse seems to have been omitted-probably to avoid upsetting modern sensibilities . "When the black hearted savage, with treacherous guile Slew our brave comrades, did they reckon the while That our steel was as sharp and our arm was as strong As the day when we hurled the wild Cossack along The Die-Hards advance-how fiercely they cheer Our foes they are taken, without dread or fear And the Maori's are vanquished and got their reward For our Chief, like his men was a gallant Die-Hard.
‘There is no beating these troops in spite of their generals. I turned their right, pierced their center, broke them everywhere; the day was mine, and yet they did not know it and would not run.’
Not quite how Soult said it but it has been misquoted to appear as a compliment to the redcoats (it was a backhanded compliment). He said something like: "I always thought they were poor troops, now I am sure of it..." then he says the "I turned their right,..." bit

When the bugle sounds with a pipe and drumbeat ! I will lay down my fork and forget the wheat !. to take up the musket weald bayonet and all . I will fight the bloody fight til I fall .
This album is one I have wanted for ages, mostly for the songs from The Druids on it. The whole thing is a treasure, and thank you for uploading some of it!

I think I can find some brave men, US Marines to be exact.
Our history is your history too.
@@Memento--Mori not the same
Although served twenty years with the Royal Engineers still proud to have served two years as a "Die Hard"
When the bugle for battle so merrily sounds,
In the ranks of the Die-Hards each heart then rebounds,
As fearless of danger, right onward we go,
When up go our colours and down go the foe.
Be they Russians or Prussians or Spanish or French,
At scaling a rampart or guarding a trench,
Neither bullet nor bayonet our progress retards,
For it's just all the same to the gallant Die-Hards.
Our regiment has conquered, but never in vain,
Bear witness those hills and the mountains through Spain,
Bear witness the shades of those hundreds who fell
At red Albuera, and our victory can tell
How Soult and his Frenchmen were beaten and sank,
As we fell on them fiercely, rank after rank,
Invincible seemed those brave children of Mars,
When Lord Beresford styled us the "Gallant Die-Hards".
What harm if we suffer from hardship at times,
What harm if e're bronzed by those hot eastern climes,
Such trifles as these our spirits can't damp
For we're jovial in battle and more so in camp,
Watch the girls, how they smile when we march through a town,
When they hear we're the Die-Hards of far famed renown,
So fill up your glasses and show your regard
By drinking the health of each jolly Die-Hard.

@@alistairthompson8311 I think that quote is attributed to Marshal Soult at Albuera.
Not quite how Soult said it but it has been misquoted to appear as a compliment to the redcoats (it was a backhanded compliment). He said something like: "I always thought they were poor troops, now I am sure of it..." then he says the "I turned their right,..." bit
@@leod-sigefast I always thought it was a little too high a praise for a french general, but i like the idea of turning an insult on its head. :D
My grandad was a die hard in ww2. God bless all the die hard's over years! Down go the foe!
So proud that my dear old dad was a die hard.
Listening to this song?

With the decisions we've made in leaders this time, I think I'm ready to be a subject of the crown again
The monarchy will raise in all americas my friend.
Democracy didn't work out too well did it?
We're always ready to bail out old colonies, as the empire will rise again
It's one of those things given how bad it is now would a Monarchy work.
Five years ago? Five years ago America had an excellent leader.
Now you are being tested. If the government get the revolution they want...
my English and Scottish fought for the Empire with pride
