As a retired U.S. Army LTC, I’m proud of my then two teen-age Paisley uncles whom served honorably w/ the Argylls, but unfortunately were KIA in northern France in the Great War.
Salute froma Paisley buddy
The other unit involved in Assaye was the predecessor to the Madras Regiment. Still exists today in the Indian Army - there are 20 battalions all of whom served with distinction in all the engagements of the pre and post Independence Indian Army. The Madrasis still sport the elephant on their epaulettes. The battle standard can be seen in the Madras Regimental Centre museum which is unfortunately not open to the public.
A shame the museum isn’t open to the public.
10 (Assaye) Bty Royal Artillery were there too.
Outstanding history👍 God save the jocks👊
Served with the HLI. TA for many years🏴
You just know that this young officer has ancestors in this regiment’s service
His platoon Sgt clearly didn’t make sure he knew Haworth to dress himself.
Apparently the later to be duke of Wellington turned green when he read the casualty list.
Why are a few of the soldiers wearing trousers, even though they have the same headgear?
They will be from attached personnel from the Royal Logistics Corps and other units who do no wear kilts. It is the custom in the British Army that these personnel wear the headdress of the unit they are attached to.
@@sublicense18a13 Thanks, that makes sense!
Arthur Wellesleys campaign conquered more land than Napoleon but is still seen as his inferior. Clearly Wellington is the greatest strategist in history.
Absolutely right. Napoleon was too cocky to face a mere " Sepoy General " in the Peninsular War where all is marshals failed.
2nd Lt is not your name - its your rank - and then you have a name if you have Lt - GE Cpt and i have a name
What's with these soldiers wearing skirts ! Funny .. they made their own stories.
Y'all gotta celebrate imperialism come on there are so many other great moments in british military history that weren't fought for imperialism and theft
Oh, shut up! The Battle of Assaye was fought against an evil man.
Well apart from the last two world wars, and the fallout of 9/11 "no". Everything was about the Empire.
@@gray3553 true but there are degrees of everything, this was fought for explicit conquest and not soft power/informal control
@@gray3553 The Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, the West Africa Squadron, the Malay Emergency...
Yes we are proud of our ancestors achievements in science and war.
