Im a Yank, Retired US Army Infantryman. I just did my ancestry. My 7th Great Grandfather served in the 42nd during the American revolution. Fast forward to 2004 my infantry Battalion relieved the Black Watch in Iraq.
I have many relatives in the states all the men in my family have served in uniform ,hearing the pipes play as we marched was always uplifting especially abroad with our kilts swaying our chest heaving with pride no wonder our enemies feared us ,
The sound of bagpipes terrified the Germans during WW1. If they heard the pipes prior to a British advance from their trench, the Germans knew it was going to be a hard day. During WW1, the Scottish regiments often wore their kilts, leading the Germans to refer to them as the women from hell......
As a Former service member of the Finnish Border Patrol Units)I'd estimate the British Army & Navy being one of the very best in the world .God Bless Your Great Country and Nation, Greetings from Finand❤
Im Canadian but my parents are from Glasgow and the pipes speak to my soul. This is a Scottish regiment so have the respect to post the flag of Scotland.♥️🏴🇨🇦
Hearing those pipes and drums unlocks something deep inside me. Just look how people respond when this happens. They hearken to something important outside of the day to day normal life. God bless the troops.
@@DarrenJamiesonJamieson The first description of bagpipes is from Egypt c40BC. There are depictions of what could be bagpipes from what is now Turkey c1000BC but apparently arguments could be made they are not bagpipes.

It's "Gurkha". And BTW, the Gurkhas were the only nation that the British could not defeat in battle. So the British, impressed with their fighting abilities, asked them to become allies - and +200yrs later the Gurkhas still are!! Bravest of the brave!! 👍
@timcubison9832 Yes, but the spelling I've used is that preferred by British Army Gurkha regiments for the past 100yrs - as opposed to the spelling used by the Indian Army. BTW, India continues to wrongly claim that the sovereign nation of Nepal (and all Nepalis) are Indian!! Furthermore, the Indian Army apes British Army policy, by only allowing Indian officers to command Gurkha (or "Goorka" - using current Indian Army terminology) formations.
@tim7052 You may be interested in reading the Ospery book (elite series 49) The Gukhas which gives a very interesting study of the Gurkha Brigade as it became since 1947.

prowed member of the Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment of Canada since 03. so glad to see my elder siblings again. miss you all dearly ❤ once on the Watch alwase on the Watch.
I played the Bugle in the Royal green jackets band as a cadet at 15 in 1982 I was a natural at it. I still love military bands now it s some how ingrained in me. I never jouned the regulars I chose to rebel 😢. My grandad was a decorated US soldier and was involved with d day landings. Whilst delivering beer kegs to Aldershot last week my truck got caught up in the Irish guards parade band, Irish wolf hound all in full regalia, it was a joy to be held up for about half hour, so smart and well drilled it made my day!!! ❤
This is beautiful. To see the men in such order playing the bagpipes and drums. It’s such a display. They’re showing us that they’re here for us and will put the fear of god into our enemies. ❤
The song is Wha Ha the forty-twa. Respectfully, I have a different origin story. The Black Watch was a group of Scots who patrolled the border between Scotland and England. Their job was to apprehend the reavers, aka rustlers, who were returning from their raids. It was composed of of Frasiers and Lindsays, aka the Frasier/Lindsay company. After the Battle of Culloden, the only way a Scot could carry a weapon was to serve in the British Army. Then it was renamed the Crawford Highlander Regiment. Crawford is a region of Scotland that was ruled by the Earl of Lindsay. In 1751 they were renamed the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment because of their heroic conduct at Fort Ticonderoga, formerly named Fort Carillon by the French.
What a lovely sight to see something we Brits need to see so makes you proud to be British as a lot of the stuff we hear nowadays tells us that being a white. Brit is Racist.
I too am the grandson of a scotsman (Jamie Jamieson), and our troops used to fight wars to defend our (not foreign), women and children which was part of our brutal past?
i love the sound of black watch pipes and drums. sends shivers up your spine hearing them coming up the long walk in the early hours of the morning when its still dark. an experience i will never forget.
Hey ho the forty second , hey ho the forty twa . Hey ho the forty second Comin down the Broomielaw . Some of them had tartan trousers , some of them had none at all. ( These are the lyrics .😀)
No one doubts the fighting quality of American military units, but damn the Brits do parade so much better! That tradition really shows. Absolutely inspiring to watch! Respect from across the pond
British Army infantry regiments are generally tribal in nature, due to recruiting from specific regions of the UK. Highland units are particularly clannish, so you find generations of families, relations, friends and acquaintances etc. with a common bond service connection to their local regiment.
