- Colonel Will Norcott reflects on the distinguished history of 47 Commando, following in the footsteps of the giants before them who exemplified their unique mindset.
47 Commando Royal Marines, the UK specialist's in amphibious warfare, established in August 1943. Since D-DAY, the battle space has changed but our mindset has not. We are the first to understand, the first to adapt and respond and the first to overcome.
We will remember them.

My family have been Royal Marines since about 1880. My great grandfather fought in the Opium Wars: my grandfather in WW1 and we have a son currently serving in 40 Commando. Over 140 years of proud service to the Corps.
But, on this day, my thoughts are with my father. He was in 47 Commando and landed on Gold Beach on DDay. He saw many friends injured and killed; in fact, he was shot the very next day and had to be shipped home.
It was due to the selflessness and the bravery of thousands like him that Overlord became a success. In the cynical world we now live in, the sacrifice of so many cannot be allowed to be forgotten. Their legacy carries on.
The Corps has fought in many campaigns since then. Those have taken their toll, physically and mentally, on Marines. Please help, as I do, support the Royal Marines Charity who care for those Marines in desperate need. It’s a great way to help the toughest, best trained Corps in the World.
Wow! What a fantastic Heritage! I would enjoy a pint with you guys in the pub, must have some incredible stories.
Mine have been at sea for hundreds of years , every generation including myself.
With the exception of the Opium War, which was immoral and pathetic, that is a proud legacy.
@@DF99993many conflicts, and I include Afghanistan, are futile. Heroes sent in by corrupt, inept politicians and bankers. But the soldiers themselves do not choose - that’s why I do what I do for the Charity whilst despising almost every politician
to think that these men fought for the livelihoods of the people who made skibidi toilet brainrot saddens me
I wonder what they would make of col norcott and his pride flag 🌈 🏳️🌈 🏳
My grandad was a Royal Marine who, thankfully survived the war. I have yet to me a more honest, direct, hard and loyal man. We do remember them.
Lest we forget
Well done Royals from ex Pongo.
Love and respect from Sweden
my nephew is a serving Royal marine my grandad was at D DAY 6TH of june aged 19 Royal Navy he survived the war and passed away in 2015 aged 90 a remarkable generation they all gave everything for you
My Father was with 47 RMC during D Day 1944, and through out the WW2. They were tough men, God bless them all.
Respect ! ❤ Greetings from Sweden
respect
My great grandad was a marine in 41 commando and landed on Sword beach on D-Day. He survived the war and died in 2008. His Name was Aubrey E Rolfe and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here. These men were a different bread and hard as nails. Thank you to all the marines who served and continue to serve our country. God bless.
God Bless you all...
Proud Father of a serving soldier..
Thank You.
nothing against these brave hardy blokes; but how are we giving our country away on a platter on the streets while protecting ourselves against foreign aggressors?
Draft , problem solved
@@adambreslow6721Good luck training people who dont want to be there 😂😂😂😂
@@WALTONCHIEF Simple. They can leave.
@@commercio3564 So why draft them in the first place?
No professional wants conscripts. Get them to work for the politicians - that will scare both parties
Thank you!
Norcott such a grand old Devonian name. Sort of appropriate given the links of the Marines to the county.
🇬🇧🏴
So cool 👏
Thank You
Deo Gratias Anglia, Redde Pro Victoria, lest we forget
I totally agree. We are the pawns on the board, and probably never know the actual reasoning behind the decision to go to war, if there is any.
I watched with great pride how we honoured the special generation I joined as a J/Ldr in the 1960s.
How does one contemplate having a Nazi Leader at the D-Day commemoration this year.
As a Former Royal Marine, a third generation Royal Marine, from a Family of continuous Service from 1912 until 2010, from a Grandfather, two Uncles, my Father to my own 25 year Career, retiring at E-8 rank (operational in every rank, most at least twice) I know that my Father, Uncles & Grandfather are turning in their graves today.
Zelensky there as well. The whole thing is politicised
Fucking awsome! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
🇬🇧🇭🇲🇬🇧🇭🇲🍺🍺🍺🍺👍👍
Can’t believe there is a discussion in Britain about disbanding the RMs! Unthinkable
Can understand it. The shores of the UK are wide open to continued invasion. If there is no will to stop the boats. Then why do you need ANY military?
there's not
There isn't. That's clickbait shit
The Corps are working to make themselves both the best in the world at littoral conflict but also flexible to deal with civil emergencies. Pay the boot necks more and we might not get so many leaving the Corps - costing the Corps a fortune to train recruits. Our cleaner earns more than our son.
✌️🇬🇧💕
A heartfelt thank you *. I was absolutely disgusted..... To find out that... So called..... French authorities.... Required the showing of UK passports...... Disgusted *
The Army Commandos came a year before the Royal Marines were seconded into it.
Of the many lost men on D-Day, and the days following, King Solomon said as a wise old man: “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” There were many stories of miraculous deliverance among them. Only "in the judgment" will "the saints" come to understand the rules of engagement between Christ and Satan that allowed GOD to intervene for some of those men as He did for Desmond Doss.
I heard the British Paratroopers who took part in the D Day memorial were asked for their Passports on French soil. Did they do this to the Marines too?
Every foreigner had to do this. The troops who had not been prescreened were screened.
These are the exact men needed to stop the boats coming across the channel now, put the men in 1st line of defence of the country.
What would you give the commandos as their brief? Sink the boats? Try and tow them back. Good luck with that. An unachievable objective is just that the politicians gave them in Afghanistan
That would be the biggest waste of highly capable resources ever. What the UK needs is a capable and credible boarder force with associates logistics and law to back it up.
@@mattersabo3117 and what would the brief be to this new credible force? Turn the boats back (and what if they don’t?); sink the boats? Fight the French to get them to accept the boats back?
It doesn’t matter what you say or think or what your group maybe capable of this country is finished the back door has been left open and nobody gives a shit I once fought now i wouldn’t lift a finger there’s no point so build your walls higher and look after your family no one cares anymore
Top lads from a hat 😂🤟
Cheer up lads. Sunak has your backs 😂
Haribo and fuckloads of ammo is the staple for any solder.
YES but unfortunately there's only 6000 of us so unfortunately we would all be gone in a month ..... drop in the ocean
There’s only one thing wrong with you. There’s scarcely none of you left. We need to double out funding, triple our recruitment,quadruple our support.
Don’t forget your passports if you need to pull the French out of the shit again
Can we have some Hat called Chris Thrall?
Google - who were the FIRST British Commandos in WW2?

The British Army is the best trained in the world without question. Their equipment is not the best and the size of the force is laughable. The members of the British armed forces deserve better.
May I ask.
Do the MEN in the paras have a pride flag outside of their training camp
Are you not ashamed. ? 🎉
Hope you had your passports, or did they just pick on the Paras
For the protection of our northern flank from Russia aggressive behaviour
The boss sold all of you out
Happy pride day.
Are you not entertained
According to MSM and you lot....there is only the RM in our forces.
The Airforce maintains a state of readiness 24/7 365
The RN protects our maritime interests.
AND...
The Army has done the heavy work for hundreds of years ...well before virtue signalling became the primary weapon of RM's
LMAMOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope they get your medications balanced
Have You Still Got A PRIDE FLAG 🌈 at Lympstone
Are you not ashamed.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
These guys are wading ashore, however further up the French coast, the enemies 5th columns are being escorted by the so called border force and rnli to the Kent coast safe and dry...........with no questions asked?
What would the veterans being honoured make of that insane decision?
Why did you not take the illegal immigrants back.
Because they're Commandos not politicians
They don't get to write policies, they follow orders whether they agree with them or not
It's called 'duty'
of which most people these days have no comprehension
Skull and Cross bones at 1 min 25 seconds - deliberately placed front and centre. Even if someone could make an argument for a British military unit having a skull and cross bones as their unit motto, there is absolutely no need to put it on an Ad, on D Day commemorations. Shame on whoever thought this was a good idea. The message is 'Lest we Forget'. I think it is fair to say that this ex-commando is a little bit pissed off today. And in the going down of the sun and in the morning - we will remember them.
Высадка в Нормандии сил США, Великобритании и Канады состоялась 6 июня 1944 года. В операции со стороны союзников участвовали 156 тысяч человек, общие потери составили около 10 тысяч человек, 2,5 тысячи из них - американские солдаты. В Курской битве с июля по август 1943 года, к примеру, участвовали более миллиона военнослужащих Красной армии, потери исчислялись сотнями тысяч. Господа вы ЛИЦЕМЕРЫ....
