I always pay my respects at CWGC (and German cemeteries) paying special attention to Scottish regiments. In St Valery-en-Caux they still remember the 51st, the Saltire still flies. #wewillrememberthem An excellent video.

My Grandfather was a Captain in the Gordon Highlanders, during WWII.

What a fascinating history!

Swear my chest expanded 6 inches ❤❤ 😂😂

Who pray tell possesses the incredibly beautiful voice that sings the title song in these video`s?

Thank you for posting this history of the Gordon Highlanders. As A Buchan loon I was named after the regiment.

What was that intro song??

A grand old Regiment.

I come from Dundee my father my uncles me was all black watch it was just what you did my father was in Crete Burma done more than me i was in Germany never done active duty

Long live the regiment.Brought me to tears

1:10 Is that the Cameronians?

My grandfather lied about his age to join RSF at the outbreak of WW1. He was recalled for WW2 and ended up as Regimental Sgt Major.

Brave men all. Lest We Forget

All of my uncle's on my mother's side served with the Black Watch in WW 2 only 1 was KIA in Italy days before they surrendered. I was attached to the BW as a medic ,the best attachment I ever had.

When are Parts 2 and 3 coming out?

"Infamous Gordon Highlanders"? Infamy, Infamy they're all got it in for me.

I'm curious why there isn't a video on The Royal Scots

What an amazing series of videos! Thanks for sharing the history of these legendary Scottish regiments.

Probably the Finest Regiment in the world👍

When I was 13 years old, I wrote to the commanding officer of the Black Watch and requested if I could join. First he said I was too young, and they only took the men from Scotland. But he sent me that small book, but I still have a short history of the BW that he sent to me. I am almost 70 and just did time in the US Marines. I do have the blood of Scotland running through my veins, but not enough

The Gordon Highlanders redeemed themselves? The 51st Highland Division were so far from Dunkirk that they had little or no chance of holding back the Germans. You never hear of what happened to the Division. Unless you’ve read some history of these brave and many of them young men. The Gordons never had to redeem themselves. Just an outstanding soldiers.

This is the first I've heard of it's religious origins. My grandfather who was in the regiment during WW2 was a Catholic of Irish descent so that was surprising. I am not sure exactly when, but at some point he was transferred into the Essex regiment. No big deal for him, but I vaguely remember watching a documentary about a 'mutiny' where many Sots refused such orders. Does anybody have any info on this?

I was in the watch, snco's and officers were a bunch of wankers, it was none stop bullying I witnessed loads of shit in that regiment the jocks had to put up wae some shit ,so as the tattoo says on my leg,fuck the watch 😁

Wonderful account of the Gordon's history. any thanks to all contributors. Bravery beyond all expectations. I can recall the advance party of the Gordons arriving in Celle in early 1958 to replace the then !st Devons whonwere off to Linden to become the Devon and Dorsets. A slim hope .....but......are there any of the then children of the Gordons still, around from 1958 who came to Celle?

My family has had at least 1 man in BW since Victoria's reign think I am the last as my lads have no thoughts of joining was in for 8 years loved it unfortunately was medically discharged miss it every day great blokes and best regiment ever in british army am very proud to have served in BW and for Queen Elizabeth

Remembering: My grandmother's brother, Pvt Kenneth "Kenny" Green, 2nd Gordons, Died of wounds at Festubert, 1915, aged 19. Not forgotten!!!

Amazing we had this Regimental history…. Now we have the Royal Regiment of Scotland…. So boring…

Wonderful channel. Please don't give up, there's still a lot to do for each theme.

Apart from the repeated weird pronunciation, there is no British Army Bugle Call to Charge. The one used is the US Cavalry trumpet call!

No personal link whatsoever, other than that my son was at Aberdeen University! Many visits to Bridge of Don (where the depot was) and Aberdeen itself, where the old depot, long gone, at Mariscal Court was located. Terrific memorial in Aberdeen City Centre.

Rather have the Stuart's than the Islamists. Superb video though

Tha alba cho math

I'm a big fan of the Gordon Highlanders, but I have to comment on the part about Majuba Hill and the remark they were facing a superior number of Boer troops. At Majuba hill the numbers were about the same on both sides, the British lost to superior marksmanship and rifles, not numbers....

😊❤️

great history spoilt by piss poor narration

I was a former Gordon Highlander and left the Regiment and took my discharge in 1969. I miss the lads of my old Regiment and the camaraderie we had. Many a lad has now passed awa but I still think of them and the closeness of our friendships. March no more ma Soldier Laddies............!

Me myself and I xx

If you're nay a Gordon, you're nothing to me.

😊😊 I've arrived here courtesy of The jolly Reiver xx

But where are the other two episodes though?

My late father in law was the RSM 2batt “Black Watch” WW2. Later a WO. Were at Edinburgh Castle when the BW was amalgamated into the Scottish Regiment

Minden is pronounced as it is spelt - not M'ndairn.

Please do part 2 and 3

I was at a conventicle on Sunday 4th feb 2024 at sorn

Puttees outside in. Brilliant.

Sir you need check your info for Gordons did 2 tours of Ireland after 1979 Belfast and Londonderry in 1980s

Can’t wait to see the next 2 parts and more Hopefully after part 3 it will be the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders

Thank you for this enlightening history. Both my father, Alex Mitchell and my uncle, Bill Mitchell, (both of Coatbridge), and my maternal grandfather, Thomas Morrison, (of Gartcosh), served as Cameronians. As a young boy I can remember a discussion between my father and uncle about the standing down of the regiment.
