I'm originally from New Marske (1956-1981) just over a mile away, but went to Senior School in Marske (Bydales County Modern) it was called back then. I have spent many days on Marske Beach in my childhood through to my teens, (great memories) it was also a part of our School Cross Country Course. It's a long time since I was last there, probably in the late 70s early 80s and one day I might pay it a return visit. If you've never been it's well worth viewing. Regarding to The Battle of Marske Beach yes I have heard about it before, a long time ago. Thanks for the video

Never heard of this, lived in the Kirklands untill 1976. Ran wild on the beach as a kid. Still love the place. Great video 👍

I lived in the area between 1959 and 1989, never heard this Battle ever mentioned. A Beautiful tribute to the brave souls and their families who defended the Area.

Interesting! Never heard of this particular skirmish before. Just a note though; I only hear the voice audio for this video through the left channel of my headphones. The music plays in both, but the commentary is only the left.
