Poor Mark Anthony, he deserved better.
I was reading about rifle units in the British Army during this time. They were formed, trained, and used tactics based on experiences in North America. They typically worked in teams, actively used cover and terrain, and were taught to be self-thinking and flexible. I would think being in a rifle regiment would be preferable to being in a line infantry unit.
The 5th/ 60th rifles battalion was called the royal Americans and was still fighting with north American volunteers during Napoleonic wars although the battalion also contained Germans by this point.
@@robdee81 What we called 'Tories'.
I think the most preferable place in this time period would be out of Hagmans sight.
As I recall, thats how many Minutemen fought during the American Revolutionary War
@@L3FT2BURN It's because they had to. They learned going against British infantry in open battle usually ended up with Minutemen skewered on British bayonets. They simply weren't disciplined and trained as most weekend musters were mainly excuses to have a picnic and drink at the local tavern with a little drill and shooting thrown in. (And locals derisively saying they were just 'playing soldier' and 'weekend warriors'.)
Ah James Purefoy, another prince of historical television.
Achievement Earned:
*WITNESS ME!*
(I'm outta ideas guys.)
Charging a fort alone now that's soldeiring .
Misspelling soldiering now that's typoing 🤣
Lerooooyyyy jjeeenkkns!!!!
Just a film mate.
Definitely you guys haven't watched the full episode yet.
There are times when a bayonete would have been useful. French not attaching them to their rifles; that's not soldiering.
Ironically it is a French word and the bayonet originates there.
If I recall they couldn’t attach bayonets to their rifles, only the muskets.
@@Southern_Crusader Only the green-coats had rifles, all of the French and all of the Redcoats had muskets. Though in the OP I did make the rookie mistake of calling their long guns rifles; that's not soldiering.
@@Southern_Crusader If I recall, the Rifles of the Napoleonic era called their bayonet a "sword". It was certainly a very long bayonet possibly to compensate for the relatively short Baker rifle.
I think the problems with making a film. I suggest the available number of muskets (not the rifles) including plastic models would have passed around many times.
Cheers for Officer sent off to die “YEAAAAH!”
Cheers when Sharpe says he wants the flag “..... Ye.... eaaaah.... 😅”
"sir, should we help him?" "he'll get the help he needs"
Maybe they should have, I don't know, followed after him and used his distraction to charge the fort rather than waiting until he was fully dead before charging? Now that would be soldiering
symbolism is powerful and matters. the flag being planted gave them the reason to go. 'rescuing the colours' allows for a few things.
I always though it would have better that way. It would have been good cinema, with Spears falling as he hears the soldiers behind him, possibly with a ground level shot of them marching. Then Sharpe says "I want our flag back", and the troops keep up the pace. You could have the troops start marching during one of the points when it cuts away from Spears charging the lines.
Harnessing the rage from witnessing a comrade falling to charge a fort. Now that’s soldiering!
Cannonball hits the ground behind everyone
Three seconds later
Oh, I must fall down now
You make a point but shrapnel needs to travel some distance before hitting the soldier, and it's not three second later, like one, one and a half
Normally the movies are idiotic, but it this case it could make some sense. Sometimes a piece of shrapnel would pass clean through a soldier, and it might take a few seconds for the poor fellow to realize he's been mortally wounded.
@@DrCruel yeah depends on the occasion, you are right
2:20 bruh, guys just fix your bayonets. You are tiralliers, not mere french militia for god's sake!
tirailleurs
i used to march around and playing bagpipes with the tune from this scene
What’s the name of the song?
Connecting an electrical circuit…. Now that’s soldering 👍
1:26 "If you have to urinate, now would be the time."
Not forming a line...that's my style sir
....I gotta watch this series.
This just looks cruel if you were one of the soldiers there who didn't know what was going on. Like Sharpe just cruelly sent a man to his death.
@@derrylritchie5890 The Colours and the Colorguard are not at the front of any line deployed for battle.
@@derrylritchie5890 Literally your first paragraph, but regardless if you look atcany manual or study of unit formations people carrying the flags are not to be at the front of the line. They may be center as a point of reference but should not be forward of the unit.
@@EzekielDeLaCroix I’m pretty sure in the case of a charge all of that goes out the window and their only objective is to inspire the unit, keep the flag off the ground and try to stay centered of the formation but not necessarily the middle. Typically the flag bearer was a lower enlisted man that had shown great courage and loyalty or was senior.
I don’t have a source to quote I can’t remember where it comes from unfortunately, I hope I’m not wrong.
Spears was a traitor though, wasn't he? He'd done something anyway.
@@MostlyPennyCat Yeah but they were hiding that fact. It's just that to an outsider who does not know what's going on, Sharpe made it look like he just cruelly made a man charge alone.
I didn’t quite get this scene in that did the tank and file know he was a traitor in the show and he was purposefully making a suicide charge? I know the book handles it a bit differently.
Though he was a traitor he was given the privilege of having an honorable death. Instead of being shot by firing squad he went down in battle, taking a few French soldiers with him. He was cut down as a hero, instead of a scoundrel.
Harris knows, having decoded the message. Most of the rest don't.
It has been a while since I read it, but I don't think they knew. I think soldiers did sometimes charge the enemy alone for glory or honor or whatever. Not much the rank and file could have done about it anyway, and discipline would have prevented them from chasing him.
I think only sharpe and the rifles knew.
But Sharpe had been his friend, so let him reclaim his honour in the end instead of being courtmarshalled .
C. F. Dances with Wolves opening sequence, "We have a suicide....." when Dunbar would do anything rather than lose his leg to the surgeon and charges the Confederate lines.
Something I always noticed in sharpe is that officers are the most unlucky ones, they always get wiped by artillery before even reaching the enemy 😂
very often the officers were leading.
Things change but I am grateful that the Sharpe account continuing to post clips of Sharpe isn't one of them!
Absolutely Kino
Where i can get that tune along with drums ? I need it for my work alarm 😊
Is that James Purefoy?
Yep
BY GOD LADS ARE YOU GIVE HIM A CHEER 💯👍🏻
What’s the song on the bagpipes?
As you see folks, the basic infantry had no way of winning wars without the Light Division, the Light Infantry, The Royal Green Jackets and now The Rifles. S&B
it would be funny if Spears survived
I think I downloaded the wrong Rome movie, how come Mark anthony is holding the english flag.
I had steel bottom and toe shoes way back in the 1975’s. They had spring steel wafers over and under laying the one before and after on the bottoms and steel toe covers at the front. They were also well insulated for the very cold winters we had then. I had this in both my law enforcement footwear and my fire fighters thigh boots and never had a spike or a nail get through them. Nice to see they are making good footwear again.
ER, whut?
What does Harris say at 2:30?
Come on, come on
@@daemonartursson7159 lol thank you. I thought he was saying something about cover
WHY Would YOU HAVE YOUR Men STOOD UP !!!😨😴and Within Range too 😣g
yeah. in reality, they would be digging trenches and wea down the enemy with artillery
Found the Simmerson in the comments
@@genghishank1 however this simmerson is actually competent in reducing casualties
@@loyalpiper well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I have no doubts that Geoffrey is just as cowardly as Simmerson though
@@genghishank1 who you talking bout mate?
Wtf are they expecting him to do lol
What was the sin of Spears?
He sold information to the French.
@@amaybury4672 ahh, so now he dies a hero so he doesn't get hung as a traitor. Got it, thanks!
Actually I think there was more to it than that, I've just remembered. I think he was captured and tortured by the French until he agreed to work for them, and then they paid him as well to make it doubly difficult for him to confess to the British. Sharpe works with him trying to find another spy during the episode and befriends him, so he has quite a lot of sympathy for his situation. So yes, he gives him the opportunity to die a hero's death rather than be shot at a court martial.
Did Spears also have a Venereal Disease too? Colloquially referred to as 'The Black Lion' in the British Lines. Possibly meaning Syphillis.
I am trying to recall what the books say, rather than the films. I can't remember his back-story. He might have been too fond of gambling & had heavy debts.
Why else would he sell himself to the French?
@@NJPurling he was tortured
This must be a BBC production since there's about 20 extras pretending to be an army. Also, what's with the teeny tiny li' Union Jackie? I laughed heartily.
Why does the one soldier carry a Nock Volley Gun? No one in the field would have carried that.
Sergeant-Major (later RSM) Patrick Harper. And as Pat was the only one strong enough to manage its recoil. . .a present from Sharpe.
That was Harper's personal weapon from the beginning. It was quite common for men during these days to provide their own weapons.
These days very hard to find men willing to die for a flag .
The soldiers today talk of fighting for right against wrong -whatever that means
It is what the colours symbolise.
Fighting for a flag, a scrap of dyed material, has always been utterly foolish.
I mean, is anything wrong with that? And for plenty of soldiers (depending on the conflict, at least) 'the flag' will represent the 'right'.
Well in Sharpe's time preventing your flag from falling into your opponent's hands was seen as worth more than a few human lives.
Count me out from this way of thinking .
@@rajivmurkejee7498 Are you saying that dying specifically for the flag as a physical item is a good thing or a bad thing? because your original comment seems to say that it's a good thing, but this one seems to say otherwise.
if you're against it, I agree. i was talking about the flag in the abstract sense of what it stood for, not the actual flag itself.
No diversity picks. A good time.
