The wreath used on rank markings is also referred to a chaplet (a wreath worn as a headdress as seen on Julius Caesar).

My grandfather was a Pioneer with the Engineers -- a discussion of his possible experiences would be great -- such as a day in the life of a private in the Engineers

When did the brigadier rank charge from what you showed to three stars and a crown ?

Stimmgeräte waren eine wirklich gute Erfindung.

Marshal is a rank. Marshall is a name.

My father WO2 Sargent Major Peter McIntosh served in the QOCH from 1929 -1951

The biggest class of frigate worldwide

I have a photo of my father, (James Watt Easton,) who served in the A&SHs from 1936 until 1949. How can I send it to you? James Robert Easton

Pvt Kenneth 'Kenny' Green, (of Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire), 2nd Gordons, Died of Wounds, Festubert, 1915 - aged 19 - never forgotten!!

Remember getting a bollocking of an Argyll Sgt maj in Stirling ACIO, i phoned to ask for a travel warrant to get a flight back to my Regiment in Germany. He got pear shaped because i didn’t scream , yes Sir no Sir enough times on the phone. I remember he had swallow tattoos on his hands, really was a clown. Even the Sgt in the ACIO with him ( also an Argyll) rolled his eyes at the Sgt maj. Glad i never joined them😂

This was most enlightening. Gratitude. I'm a new sub. And i look forward to catching up with your back catalogue. As well as future post's. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Canadian made

You didn't mention that David Niven also was a Iron Cross bearer. Here he tells the story himself: ua-cam.com/video/S1jMK-XIvUY/v-deo.htmlsi=JZI2gI4Ww00JjK0i

when the word British evoked the very best

Cavalier and Jacobite spirit was very much present in the South

True Scottish hero We salute you.

Shame they cut the Argylls down to a company . Mind you it was planned for a long time & even in the late 60s. In Stirling ACIO they were all mainly Argylls & definitely tried to get you into the Argylls, infact the Argylls Sgt got a bit annoyed when i said i didn’t want to join the infantry. He got over it because he had a Quarter at the QV school in Dunblane & came in the Dunblane Hotel one Saturday afternoon. He hadn't drove far so his Quarter was in Dunblane as he still had slippers on his feet😂 He recognised me & i said hello & asked if he wanted a drink. He said no let me buy you one & he bought me & my friend a pint. I think he was just a fiercely loyal Argyll.

I grew up near Stirling in Dunblane & even our war memorial looks better than that. The one in Dunblane is much larger & is situated across the River Allan facing the Cathedral. Most named on there were Black watch as Dunblane came under Perthshire back in the day. Saw a few other cap badges like Royal Artillery which i served in on there. Was also some Royal Scots soldiers named on there too.

Im great grandfather was in 92th Gordon Highlander and a p.o.w in ww1

Ireland showed him the door. 🇮🇪

My father David Anderson Martin MM served with the 2nd Battalion RHR ‘The Black Watch’ in Palestine in 1938 where as a Lance Sergeant he was awarded his Military Medal for his actions during an ambush of a Convoy he was in command of. During WW2 he was promoted(emergency commission) Lieutenant in the 7th Battalion and eventually rose to the rank of Temp Major A Glutton for Punishment He went back to Palestine having transferred to the Police Mobile Force of the Palestine Police as an Assistant Superintendent and just missed being killed in the King David Hotel

My father joined the Black Watch in 1936, enlisting in Perth at the age of only 16 (he falsified his age somehow and got away with it). He served as part of the 2nd Battalion's operations mentioned here from 5th May 1937 until 1st Sept 1939 when he was posted to the 7th Division HQ in Egypt. He was only just 19 even then. He was therefore a similar age to several of the casualties, and I guess by sheer luck of the draw, he survived to fight on throughout the war, the Malayan emergency and the Aden crisis until he left the army to retire to the other Perth, in Australia. He passed away in 1992.

My grandfather had a bit of a run-in with the Scots, the 51st Highland Division and the 9th Highland Division, at the Battle of Arras in 1917. He managed to get back to the rear positions after the frontline had been overrun by the Royal Scots and the Seaforth Highlanders while being wounded in the neck by a bullet from "a Scotsman in a girl's dress".

🙈 Promo-SM

My maternal grandfather served with the 7th Bn The Norfolk Regiment (Pioneers), with the 51st at St Valery and was taken POW. We still have photos of the POW camp he was held in. He eventually was released from captivity by a Red Cross prisoner exchange due to failing health weeks before the long march. This was a fascinating insight into not only the history of the 51st but also into Rommels personality and interests. This event is definitely worthy of a full documentary

Really should watch the film The War Below about tunnelers I liked it.

A great wee video! 👏👏👏

I enjoyed the video .very interesting and informative. Always keen to hear about scottish troops. Cheers from Melbourne. Tommy ex glasgow. 👍

Thqnk you for this.

I'm proud because I served in highland infantry in my country and David Niven is one of my favorite actors 👍

Both my mom and dad(10 Scott Street), uncle(3 Bannerman street) were in the Blitz, heard stories of it many times. Including being up in the hills on the second night and watching the bombers fly low over head. I keep looking at the pictures and wondering who is who and where the were living. Did they know the family? Where did they all end up going... My family moved all the way over to America

SALUTE

As a child I was taken by my father, ex 51st who served from El Alamein to Bremerhaven, to what was probably the last reunion of the 51st. It was held on the Inch in Perth in 1967. Tough old soldiers who came to meet there comrades and listen to Monty with affection.

Very interesting. God bless the fallen.lest we forget.

My father WO 2 Sargent Major Peter N McIntosh served in the QOCH from January 1929 - January 1951, he originated from Nairn

Some gave all All gave some. Thank you for posting this. I have recently posted my own for our fellow "Jocks".

🇺🇸🫡 Happy Veterans Day Bros. Stay strong. Fair winds and flowing seas

Respect

My father Jim Cameron from Montrose led the funeral parade for Private Brodie and had recorded details of his death on the back of a photograph which still exists. My father served with the regiment for 23 years and ended his career as CSM in 1946 with the 7th Battalion in NW Europe.

Hugh mciver is my great great uncle ❤
