Over the Hills and Far Away - British Army Song

We're in dire need of new redcoat 🇬🇧 films, because we're running out of scenes to edit with. Great video btw 👍🏻

[@patrioticarchive]

We definitely need more redcoat and Royal Navy films and thanks mate.

Im in the process of writing a novel. It will eventually be 3 books,. It is already a work of art. It will be complete in about 5 years.

[@bieituns]

@@ivankomadanvonrakovac8415 It is similar to Sharpe and Hornblower and master and commander in that it takes you on a journey of a fictional character based on real life characters and real life events while exploring the historical importance of even earlier events that created the circumstances to shape the future, it explains the formation of Britain and how the declaration of obroath was the inspiration to the declaration of independence and the significance of magna carta. The story unfolds in England when a man and woman leave England for the new world to start a new life and a family after the seven years war. Here they meet certain significant people such as George Washington who explains the cause of the French and Indian war, as the story progresses we see the revolutionary war break out. This is the basis of the first book, it is very profound and educational, I have learnt a great deal in the process and even shed a few tears with the deaths of certain characters. The second book opens with the explanation of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon, I have bought over 90 books on the era and used many real life quotes and events to get it all as accurate and as real as possible. The main protagonist in the story has learnt to fight during the revolutionary war under the Prussian Von Steuben. He returns to England and is press ganged into the royal navy and fights at the battle of Copenhagen under captain Bligh. He eventually fights at the battle of Trafalgar under Horatio Nelson. I have some very interesting twists on the myth of his death. For example, when Nelson died legend has it that his final words were kiss me Hardy. But there is also a myth which I believe is probably true that he actually said kismet Hardy which is Turkish for fate or destiny Hardy. Or god's will. I actually spoke to a Turkish man in marmaris who explained to me that Nelson was in marmaris preparing for the battle of the Nile. The final book leads on to the peninsula war and Waterloo with Wellington and after being wounded seriously in battle he becomes destitute and homeless and without wanting to spoil it it ends at peterloo in Manchester.

As have the Belgium been of the British. It seems to have been forgotten over time that it was Belgian battalion with a Luxembourg Platoon that did its best to hold the right flank for the British Gloucestershire Regiment during the Battle of the Imjin River, which was a key battle during the Korean War. The battle itself reads more like a story from Hollywood than real life and the fighting reads as if it taking place in the napoleonic era.

The Paras' uniform in the closing years of the war, with the Dennison smock, and 44 webbing and Airborne helmet was the best issued to the British to that date, and was the model for everything that followed.

Just been told on another thread "King Charles" in reply to my post (from two months ago) regarding there not being a King of England then. Look at when the post was, anyone. But it is very fascinating historically than now we have a King Charles again. (Not the one with the spaniels. Not the one who had his head cut off. And not Bonnie Prince Charlie either. A different one. But still Charles. Good old historical name. Although not very lucky in the past. But still historical.)

Respect from South America. I sometimes wonder what our lot would be like had we been conquered by the Brits

[@davewolfy2906]

What a strange comment. However, the British did allow most of South America to be independent.

[@TheCdr19]

@@davewolfy2906 I’m willing to hear your explanation as to why my comment is strange. I actually think your comment is stranger, South America became independent because of creole and Spanish enlightenment values, not the British.

[@davewolfy2906]

@@TheCdr19 there are a number of Royal Navy captains that were involved in the independence of some South American countries. Indeed, some countries name warships after them. Besides, you lot have the best of both worlds, look at Africa.

[@TheCdr19]

@@davewolfy2906 Fair enough, I guess what I’m trying to say is if we had had the Protestant work ethic of North American colonies coupled with the enlightenment’s impact on USA’s founding fathers, our culture would be better and we’d be more productive, if not arguably more united than the ragtag bunch of unstable republics we have now.

[@moiradalgleish]

Someone on Quora asked: 'Why is the U.K. so incapable of protecting itself?' Chris Murphy replied: What a fantastic question. No sarcasm at all. I'm an Aussie, and the Brits, as small as the land mass they occupy, are the last people I would want to fight with. The last. I'll deal with crocodiles, over a tonne, I'll deal with kangeroos who will punch and kick your teeth in, not to mention the Kiwis (New Zealand). You don't want to start a fight with the UK. Seriously. You really don't. They have a don't care attitude towards you. Stiff upper lip if you will. Gentlemanly, if you please. That attitude will be maintained until the last. The very last. They are the only group who ruled the world, and then gave it back. England, Scotland, Wales, N Ireland. I salute you.

Not only America but even all Latin American countries will apply for Commonwealth membership in the future. Will you help us to welcome them all?

Poor sods - recruited for the most part by unemployment or the magistrates as an alternative to something worse, for a bob a day - minus dishonest deductions - a usually secondhand uniform but typically new boots and a share of a bunk in decrepit barracks - only benefits, some very basic medical care, regular if dodgy rations, and a free funeral. The Victorian army was only a mite better - one bunk, razor and towel per man, and the barracks tended to be newer, and not so many dishonest deductions.

[@raylumley5019]

I agree> However, civilian life in Britain was just as horrific..Even after the 1st world war, the land "fit for heroes"was a hell hole for the working class. In fact ,I have read a german soldier at Dunkirk , who could'nt believe how small and puny the British soldiers were. Thanks to the class system.

Not eerything is from an American lense- sincerely, an American. Perhaps that's why the world thinks us ignorant. Edit: the world could say the same thing about our defeats being left out of most of our things.
