*_Disused Bases_* Who will recall for us our lost companions, in their beauty, pride and love? None but the solitary Corporal Heron is on parade. His one legged guard's a mockery of last stands; Of red brim hatted staffer Golden Eagle; Whose glory could equal his command.'s "No one, no-one"" says Duty sargeant Song Thrush 2nd Loo Coyote supports the call "None, none; none, none; none none.; none; none." th' unnumbr'd Privates Bison Their cavalry divisins near wiped out in former wars. "They are forgot!!!" alarms the Bugler Sparrow Capt. Racoon yelps "Turn out the guard" But from the guard house there comes only silence No order given as no one heard. No one will recall our lost companions Their pride and beauty doomed to die On batleffield or lucky home for veterans Mem'ries fall like leaves , and there they lie Only the old airmen wlll renmber spewcifcics cf a place and time The jokes we told and how we did our duty, , In moments touched by the divine. yours hunlyy a Brit civiliabn. #PParkinonnss ssorr for te ttyypos

I am American with Afrikaner roots.

The Black Watch is very honorable and were done dirty by England. When they were established, England told them they would never be sent abroad to fight and were to defend only on UK soil. England reneged on the deal and forced them to fight overseas time and time again. Doesn't surprise me one bit though. England has done Scotland a great injustice for centuries.

@@ChrisCaldwellO66 I bet the Black Watch arent complaining after you look at their vast array of battle honours

To heaven, the rest hell awaits

⁠@@ChrisCaldwellO66yes, Scotland was so reluctant to take part in building the empire. Those evil English forced them to participate as enthusiastically as they did. The SNP and Mel Gibson have really done a number on you haven’t they pal

YOU GOT IT RIGHT U TUBE I A TIME MACHINE/ RIGHT FROM VAD YAHIM NARRATING THE HOLOCAUT TORIE

My uncle was there in the band.

@@jocktamson6493 Some 13 years later I had privilege of meeting some of them, incl. some who played that day and the President's funeral; when the Black Watch was here for the Bicentennial. It was beyond thrilling!

My Dad was the Drum Major that day. Much love, pride and so missed. He was a lovely Dad and a real gentleman x

More like “🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 God save the queen, rule Britannia🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧”

Look up Tyler Fry to see it today

That's because it had been so long since an assassination had occurred. We can't forget any of our history in order to keep it from repeating.

The classic liberal arts education, oratory skills, proper grammar, logic, the way of the world, and people. Today, it's all about STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Bunch of technocrats with shiny gadgets but no sense of history, respect, culture, the human mind and behaviour. They think regurgitating buzzwords willy-nilly like misogyny and toxicity means respect towards humanity. Philistines.

Tis a well versed description is it not?

See Bozo Joe Biden?

...and to think our Beloved JFK was gone a month later, such a tragedy!

Indeed.

SO SAD DAY

You mean only nine members -- not the full regiment -- would be back in DC for the funeral. Jackie knew that the optics of having an entire foreign regiment of bagpipe players in addition to the already present USAF regiment of bagpipers would have looked incredibly indulgent. Thus she invited only 9 members of this regiment back to the funeral.

*CORRECTION* It will only be 12 days until they return for The President's final procession. TRULY THE DAY AMERICA CHANGED.

Alongside Officer Cadets from Óglaigh na hÉireann, who formed the honour guard.

Aye mabye but the english cannae play the pipes like the scots or the irish for that matter , you stae safe n be well

@@johntyfleming4581 we also don’t wear a skirt as good as a Scotsman.

@@beast4517 That is correct ye do not wear any thing as good as us,not even yer pride

@@jamestheman1962 it’s a good thing we’ve maintained our hold on the majority of the power on this little Island then

@@Arm4G3doN Is it?

And mostly at the beck and call of a foreign country.

Nice place Pitlochry

@@ianmacewan9416 Not a kind remark to make, there is a difference between what you said and an allie is a difference

@@pjmoseley243 Kindness has nothing to do with the truth and facts. Facts like a whole brigade of Black Watch being left behind in France on the orders of Churchill orders while English regiments scuttled off in little boats leaving a trail of sewage behind them. Just a fact. Rephrase your last sentence because it is unintelligible.

@@ianmacewan9416 Don't be daft Ian, there were other regiments holding the line. Churchill loved the Scottish regiments, in particular the Gordon Highlanders.

A single 't' in Scot. Scott is a name not a nationality.

@@ahorsewithnoname643 Sat rite pal n dinnae call a scot scotch for sure thats a wee dram

your always welcome to come home brother .

So happy to be reminded of a happier time, when we had class in the WH, namely, the last administration

Twice. Revolution and 1812

@@ChrisCaldwellO66 yep

And we're all very fond of you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁🥃

@@keithlordofalbascotland3371. Thank you very much

Aye was wunderin that masel. lol

@@johntyfleming4581 - me tae.

Alot of the Scots upper class and aristocracy are and were sent to boarding school in England, hence the accent. The Queen mother was a Scot and came from an old Scots family but sounded entirely English.

@@andrewpark6223 that may well but there ws also a study into folk who lost their born accents who were judged to be of weak character many years ago , ?

@@andrewpark6223 would disagree as I could always hear the brogue when she spoke

🛒☔🦋🔥Not true abt civility!

Old Joe Kennendy was great friends of the Calder family (distilling and brewing) and JFK visited their Perthshire estates not long before before WW2 where he learned grouse shooting.

Thanks. Stewart had emigrated to Canada. Returned with CBW to WW1. My dad was in BW. Stewart named on Arbroath Black Watch memorial. Respect.

The slow march is the Highland Cradle Song, and the return to quick march is The Men of Argyll.

Thank you for responding to my comment.

It's the Black Bear and the Highland Laddie. Traditional coming home tunes for Highland Regiments

@@johnharvey7672 Thats not The Black Bear.

AS AN ELDERLY INFANTRY SOLDIER ( British) 30 yrs. PROUD SERVICE . THE SOUND OF A PIPER PLAYING A TUNE AS WE ADVANCED INTO ATTACK STIRRED THE BLOOD MAKING US ADVANCE FEARLESSLY YET PUTTING THE FEAR OF GOD INTO THE ENEMY. THE PIPER WAS USUALLY UNARMED. BRAVE MEN ALL OF THEM.

1812 was the Canadians smashing American invaders.

They weren't in North America during the War of 1812.

@@Andy-ScotsIrish-TheGAEL. No...

@@sirisaacbrock798 listen here why you acting like a child, that's you following me on my posts. I'm not againt Canada or British. My ancestors are Scottish and Irish. Alot of my ancestors and current serve on highland regiments. Go move on or I'll give you a square go sunshine.
