- The crowds were out in force in Ayr to welcome the boys back. Job well done lads. We'll remember those who didn't return. I must add they are my old battalion (1RHF) As time goes by the memories and personalities keep interrupting the day to day, each time I hear of another one passing on I think Christ, were we so young, so keen. Aye, if they couldn't fight the enemy they fought each other just for the fun of it...The best years of our lives and we didn't know it!
My US Marine Corps company was hosted by the fusiliers during the 1991 Gulf War. They put on a display of their equipment, and gave us a brief of the regiment's history, traditions and such. We then hosted the fusiliers at our camp. The lads had a good time driving our automatic transmission HUMVEES! Good soldiers, though I could hardly understand the language. LOL Much respect.
My grandfather was in this crew in the First big un , they look fine .
The Royal Highland Fusiliers carry three Colours. The Queens Colour, The Regimental Colour, and the Assaye Colour.The Assaye Colour was awarded for bravery at the battle of Assaye, when the Regiment defeated a much larger and determined enemy force. The only officer left alive at this battle was the Quartermaster John Grant. So by tradition the Assaye Colour is normally carried by the Quartermaster of the Regiment.
curra hee lads god bless chests out march!!
Did I see women in the ranks. In the Infantry ? 0:34 & 1:25
0:34 What is she doing there?
Wdym
@@thomaskayak5536 That wee lassie!
She is an officer, and I am just guessing she is a platoon leader.
At the time what she was doing there was returning with her comrades from Afghanistan!
Whits the score wi the union flags.Its a Scottish regiment.
It's a Scottish regiment John though all its fighting was done under British colours. So a British regiment doing duty for UK (Scotland is still part of UK and our fellow Scots do honourable service still)
All British infantry battalions have two colours: the Queens Colour and the Regimental Colour. The PWRR have a third: The Colonels Colour.
Fuck off John.
After have killed Thousand and Thousand of inocent people, specially elders as well children.
Can you provide documentary evidence of such atrocities?
@@Keithbarber Of course he can't. He is talking out his arse!
@@daf62757 I know. When asked to back their claims up, the silence is always deafening
@@Keithbarber Hate the war but love the warrior. These young men and women are true warriors. I am not English but I sure do respect the English and their history. To insult these fine people should be a crime.
@@daf62757 It's a Scottish regiment of the British Army David. The English are merely (Like Scotland) a component part of the Union.
change the title as pirates returns home from looting
Yeah no
