The Mk I Martini-Henry: The Battle of Tel El Kebir, 1882

I hope to do more of these kind of themed shoots... I hope you enjoy things... It's a bit more in-depth than usual and hopefully the shooting compliments the history nicely.... Please understand that this is not a comprehensive look at the action but rather a way to put the use of the Martini in some what of a context. Any details I have missed, are of course, due to the fact that the video can't be an hour long!.... :-).

[@jamescater305]

love how the bagpipes were played during battle. it truly must have been a huge morale boost. gives me chills just listening to them.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers.

[@TheWolfsnack]

...imagine the fear of the enemy confronted with a god awful racket and facing men in skirts with large bore guns....

[@rootbeerking2892]

@Matt allen yes

[@spartanalex9006]

His clones are very impressive, he must be proud.

[@andybelcher1767]

Strangely it was the clones that gave me a better indication of the amount of smoke generated during a battle as my view was focussed on the group rather than just the single shooter. Excellent, superb work Rob, you have surpassed even your own fantastic standards.

[@CaptainBogroll]

Absolutely terrific, I can't think of anyone else who goes to such lengths for the quality of content in their videos, and historical accuracy This could be aired on TV fairly easily and people would believe it was made by a full production team and so on Lovely work Rob

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thank you very much indeed, CB. Very kind words.... I'll let the cameraman know...!

[@Hedgecore138]

Thanks for posting this video! I'm just starting to put a kit together for the RMLI at Tel El Kebir, and I found this very helpful. Question, though: why the use of the older round canteen and not the "Italian" barrel canteen?

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Now I remember being in Edinburgh on the day the news that the Cameron Highlanders were going to be disbanded. It was in the early 1990s. I was on the High Street just by St Giles Kirk. Suddenly the traffic ground to a halt, and you could hear the skirl of the pipes, next thing there were police quickly clearing the road of traffic and behind them the pipe band of the Camerons led the resident garrison battalion out of the castle and down the Royal Mile, in column, bayonets fixed, full No1 dress at the quick march. The Queen was in residence at Holyrood and the regiment had spontaneously decided to march to the palace to make a point about loyalty to the snake politicians who had disbanded this ancient regiment. The city ground to a halt and every one stood up and applauded, there wasn't a dry eye on any of the soldiers as they matched past in perfect time. Most of my fellow Edinburghers were also in tears. At the time the incident was hardly covered in the press at all, the political spin had been so efficient, but I remember thinking, This is the end of an era, this is an important thing you are watching... Such decisions are made by political leaders many of whom are obsessed with virtue signalling, few of whom have served or understood the importance of fighting for something bigger and more enduring than a 21st C intervention... Thus the hearts are cut out of our army. There was a second 'reform' where all the remaining infantry regiments of Scotland were amalgamated into the Royal Regiment of Scotland each regiment making a single battalion. It was pointed out at the time that, given Scotland is one of the parts of the UK where recruiting for local regiments us rarely an issue, that this was a foolish move. Well, despite objections it happened anyway and we're yet to see if it has a long term negative impact. But with a navy with no fighter planes for its carriers, no frigate to escort them or no plans to retain a ship to ship capability once Harpoon is scrapped I'm 2020 the future looks increasingly bleak for the UK forces, expected to pull their weight in Nato and meet the over stretching commitments with less and less resources... They learn nothing from history

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

The Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons) were a fine battalion. Such a shame that they were the victims of such short sightedness. What a great story. Thanks for sharing!

[@gortnewton4765]

You did not mention they were victims of LEFT-WING politicians who despise loyalty, who despise tradition, who despise your history. Vote those kinds of politicians INTO office and your culture will disappear OUT of your country.

[@sichere]

Richard - It's a fact of living in peaceful times - The Army has been shrinking in size since 1945 - Tradition has no place in economics. Without Highland divisions there would not have been an Empire and many Scottish troops have made the ultimate sacrifice including the 51st Highlanders that ensured the majority of the BEF escaped from Dunkirk - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eILTaZl-oKd9p8U - Lest we forget

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Thanks Murph!... Time, yes,... lots and lots.... Money,.. not a lot really... Ammo?, the frock I've had for a while.... I guess a bit for lumber to make the targets.... Now, if I had some photos and video of the actual ground (vis a vis, taking a trip there) then, yes,... it would have been a great deal of money... :-) Wouldn't the have been awesome......

I think so. No other channel conveys as much esoteric and occult information from history into such a clear and concise manner; making it a modern preservation. These videos remind me of the wonderful U.S. and British military training films of the 40's, 50's, and 60's. None of this has to be so, from someone just enjoying a hobby.

As Johnnie Wayne(Wayne & Shuster) once said after seeing a Black Watch soldier from Montreal during WW2 "Damn fine soldiers those French Canadians" lol.

Rob your work is outstanding, you have such a keen eye for historically accurate detail. Also I just noticed this battle took place exactly a century to the day before my birth a strange coincidence. Thanks for your superb content 👏

You are most welcome! Cheers!

Terrific! I loved watching the live fire , so realistic battle sounds ( except the absence of visceral screaming, thank God). Your efforts are very much appreciated in England, thank you, Gentlemen.

I watch this channel for the accuracy, background, research & understanding that goes into them.But I REALLY like the hats....they're the icing on the cake.

[@britishmuzzleloaders]

Ah,.... a hat man. All I can say is that there lots of them here...!
