Robert I served 83-90. Your brothers were my senior enlisted. Just finished reading “We were soldiers once and young” and “We are soldiers still. “Thank you brother for all your generation has done for mine. I’m a veteran mentor now., in Miami. I see a new generation of vets. But it’s your generation that taught us. Yes, 7 Cav and the brothers of Drang Valley live on. God bless.
I learned about that battle in the late 1980s while volunteering and raising funds for DVA(Disabled American Veterans)and PVA(Parallelized Veterans of America), and my boss at my boss at work Mr. Tony Nadal who was a Captain in US Army’s Green Beret attached to the Air Calvary and great friend with Lt. Colonel (later Lt. General) Hal Moore and told me all about the battle of Ia Drang and it’s aftermath. Gave me the book We were Soldiers and Young book which I read cover to cover. Mr. Nadal did 3 tours in Vietnam and was wounded several times because he was a true warrior (West Point class of 1958 I believe), and spoke very highly of the courage of Journalist and Author of the aforementioned book about the battle, Joe Galloway whom he still calls as part of the regiment. The regiment lives on!
i remember when my grandfather came to see me complete the spur ride when i was stationed at ft lewis 10 years ago...when i got my spurs my unit let him put them on and afterwards he handed me down my great, great great grandfather Eustis' Stetson. He fought and died with Custer and his stetson was all my family could recover so it's been handed down through the generations until it came to me and i cant wait to hand it down to my own kids!
@Werr Perq proof of what? It wasn’t only the 7th cavelry song it was the Rainbow division song fighting 69th,42nd division etc they are the NYARNG-72-78- the movie was great and the song has lots of history including the British army
My father was part of the 7th Calvary during WW2.... I love this movie because it always makes me think of him... he was VERY proud to part of that regiment. SWAK Melody Dawn
My father was a 17/21st lancer in Britain there's a always a certain thing with cavalry regiments around the world we know we're better than the rest we ride to sound of the guns Death or Glory ...
Oh without a doubt my friend.... its like our Polish friends in 39 charging the Panzers with swords and lancers, the 21st charging the guns at Balaclava, the thing with the cavalry is we don't give up ever ( fucking insanity I know) 🏴☠️
Several years ago, I recall reading that Flynn when he would sometimes go out for a night on the town would also have a few musicians come with, to give him background music like a movie in real life. Can imagine them breaking into this number.
I've seen Little Bighorn Battlefield during a school trip. I went off by myself from the rest of the class, but I knew I wasn't alone. It was the most surreal feeling, almost like I could sense the ghosts of the fallen wandering the battlefield
@@craigclarke3298 Same here! I went on cold, cold for San Antonio anyway, Sunday morning in December with my girlfriend who was a nurse at Ft Sam Houston and we had the same feeling.
My great uncle Arthur V. Hegney died at age 18 after arriving in France in November 1917, with the Fighting 69th regiment first engaged in training near Valcouleurs and Grand. It then undertook a legendary muddy 80-mile march just after Christmas through the Vosges mountains to Longeau and Luneville. It had its first combat experience on 26 February 1918 in the nearby trenches of the Rouge Bouquet Chaussilles Sector in the Foret de Parroy near the village of Baccarat. While there, it suffered its first combat casualties, including the deaths of 21 men from the 2nd Battalion on 7 March when a dugout collapsed under bombardment. This event was memorialized in Sergeant Joyce Kilmer's poem "Rouge Bouquet" and by a painting of the same name by Emmett Watson. The name of the song is "Garyowen" and is Irish Gaelic compounded word composed of two Irish words, which means . The movie made in 1940 is named, "The Fighting 69th" and my uncle's name is on the memorial at the end of the film.
Your great uncle was a fool who surrendered his life for nothing but the whims of other men. Now his soul burns for eternity because of his folly. In the military we say “ play stupid games win stupid prizes” what a loser.
@@RErnie-gv1hv Garryowen comes from the Irish words Garraí and Eóghan/Eóin which means Eoin's Garden. The first song was written (or sung) by drinkers in around Garryowen, which was then a fashionable area of town, and was picked up and carried abroad by the 5th Royal Irish Dragoons who were billeted in Limerick. Garryowen isn't a village, it's a suburb of Limerick city.
The legend is Brevet General Custer overheard one of his Irish NCOs singing the tune and thought the rhythm of the song matched the trot of a horse, and thus adopted it for the 7th Cavalry Regiment, especially after he heard the song's "rough and tumble" message.
@@georgebarlow5829 The Connaught Rangers were one of the finest regiments in the British army and they covered themselves with glory in Spain under Wellington 1809-1814.
Yes, it definitely is that. My grandfather was in the 7th the first decade of the last century. I believe it also went over to Europe in WWI, perhaps under Pershing who commanded the unit my grandfather was in. I don't care if this film takes liberties with history, altho the Capt. Fitzhugh Lee segment is true, it is a great Raoul Walsh film. It was also the last pairing of Flynn and DeHaviland.
My wife and I visited little bighorn battlefield in 2002. We walked the path that you could walk on. We saw the head stones were the soldiers fell that day, and also were General Custer fell. For years I thought he was buried there, but found out at the request of his wife, his body was exumed and buried at West Point
My ancestor, Eric Fuchs who came to Nebraska from Germany in the 1890s actually ran into two Little Bighorn veterans in Wyoming, a ArapahoIndian who fought against Custer that day, and a 7th cavalry retired officer. He got to hear from both sides of one of the last great battles on American soil ever fought, and eventually managed to get them both to meet each other and reconcile.
Mi abuelo era Zapatista, y por mi abuela, eran gente de Pancho Villa, en el estado de Durango, abajo de Chihuahua. Me encanta la historia universal. ¡Qué emotivo tu relato!
Bloody marvellous! I play this in memory of my father, who rode with the cavalry when they still had horses. Watching this clip reminds me of watching him on mounted parade when I was a very small boy.
This is a good example of how film composer Max Steiner could take a vernacular tune and use it effectively. Another good example is As Time Goes By in Casablanca.
My gr-gr-gr-grandfather Henry Jackson was the only Englishman to hold a commission in the US 7th Cavalry in June 1876 (though he didn’t take part in the Battle of the Little Big Horn). He was a lieutenant of light cavalry in the British Army during the Crimean War (1853-56) AND a lieutenant in the 14th Illinois Cavalry (Union Army) in the War Between the States (1863-1865). I have his letters. He spoke highly of his commander, Col. George A Custer 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Just found out earlier tonight ill be one of the newest members of the 7th cav reg as a brand new medic. Pretty excited and honored to be envolved with a regiment steeped in such a long history
Fought with and used the 1st Cav 1/9 and 2/7 INF as my team’s QRF While in Baghdad Iraq in 2004-2005. On many occasions they helped us out of some shit. This is their song, Much respect.
Thank you for your service...You served with the 1st of the 9th, an aggressive, outstanding Cav squadron in the 'Nam...their esprit de corps was second to none...Scouts, Guns, Slicks & Blues....all hard chargers, brave men...as I understand it, the unit, under the 1st Air Cav, initiated the majority of the actions of said Division in that conflict...they literally were the tip of the spear...one of their principal units were known as the "Headhunters"...you must be very proud...I would be...Garryowen!
When I was a young child I asked my Grandfather if he had been in the Army. He replied that he had. I then asked if he had been a sergeant in the Army. He replied that he had been a sergeant of Cavalry; not a sergeant. It wasn't til I grew to manhood that I realized just how cool he was! The Seventh Cavalry Regiment lives on as a unit of the 1st Cavalry Division stationed at Fort Hood, Texas! BTW, My brother's name is James Carter!
Love this song, I'm proud of my service in the modern " air cavalry" HHT 1/6, B TRP 4/7th ( yes seventh cavalry) D Trp 3/5th Cav and D Trp 1/9th Cav. What a feeling to do a pass in review and listen to our division band break into "Gary Owen" as we marched pass. I hope to hear it as I march up to the Pearly Gates, that before St. Peter turns me around and sends me off to "Fiddlers Green"!
As I've added to comments in this section, there's a certain kind of brotherhood and yes an insane bravery that only the worlds cavalry regiments ( my dad was a 17/21st lancer , the mob that got wiped out at Balaclava The 7th Cavalry under Custer. The Polish Lancers in 39 charging tanks with swords and lances, ) truly ride to the sound of the guns lads death or glory ☠
C Trp and HHT 4/7 Cav 82-83. My dad was 5/7 Cav RVN. It was also the regimental song of the Royal Irish Fusiliers of the British Army and the NY Fighting 69th! “Instead of spa, we’ll drink brown ale, and pay the reckoning and the nail, For debt no man shall go to jail, for Garryowen and glory!”
after seeing this for the first time as a child, never the slightest chance i would ever forget either the film, the song or errol and olivia. remains one of my top ten movies of all time.
I remember back in the 60s... it was a Sunday afternoon after lunch and this came on tv. I was 6 and my parents had me wash dry and put away our dishes! I missed the first 20 minutes as a result. My great grandfather was a trooper in the Roughriders and later served in the Phillipines. After IOBC and Airborne I served in the 2d BN 7th Cavalry- mech InFantry as a platoon leader and later as a Company Commander. Great times. GARRY OWEN!
I cannot agree more. I moved to Idaho 15 years ago from Nashville and on my way out there was one place I had to see, the Little Big Horn battle site in Hardin, Montana. Very somber and humbling place.
1963lsteveo, no “Gary Owen” - not a place or a person. At least not connected to this song or to the suburb of Limerick, Ireland. It is one word, “Garryowen”, and translates as “Garden of John”.
I prefer the later Son Of The Morning Star, is more historically accurate, but this older version is a great adventure story combing together parts of the history of the West.
Historical accuracy was never a priority then as now. It's release date of 1941 should sum it all up. The world was in flames and Hollywood was the epicenter of changing public opinion about the war in Europe as well as Japanese aggression in the all-important Pacific. The Sea Hawk in 1940 was another propaganda movie that was Pro-British. The character of the British Officer, Butler in TDWTBO was not just for amusement. It was a plug for Britain & it's desperate hold out against Nazi aggression. In short, It worked!
Yes -- the cinematic equivalent of that famous but really inaccurate heroic lithograph of the Last Stand that appeared behind many a bar back in the day.
I patrolled the border of the east german/Czech border in the mid 80s in 1st platoon, e trp, 2/2 acr as a 19d20. Hard life, but cannot imagine a better group of men I want with me when shit hits the fan
Those drums always haunt me, just imagine the sound they made back then as the troops marched on. Errol Flynn , well no need to elaborate just spell binding charisma. Many thanks.
I know this post was along time ago but I just wanted to say that my dad worked with Errol Flynn on Robin Hood and always loved this movie 🍿 regardless of how truthful it really was too what actually happened... But my dad was also in Pearl Harbor as a photographer and after the attack a few days later the Navy band played this song on Ford Island because one of the admiral's loved it ... plus it was a tribute to the band from the U.S.S. Arizona that were all allowed to sleep in that morning because they had won the battle of the bands the night before...they of course were all killed when the Arizona was hit...just a little bit of history I thought I'd pass along...
I remember when I surprised my brother by finding and getting him the CD of this score....even though this movie is SO inaccurate, I do like Flynn's portrayal. Listening to this makes me smile just a little because I think of my brother (he passed in 2007) up in heaven bugging the hell out of the real "Audie" :-)

When Custer lost the 7th Cavalry's battle flags on the Little Big Horn in 1876, it was not until the year 1919 when the Army restored to the 7th Cav new battle flags. My father rode in the last horse mounted review of the First Cavalry Division when he served in that division's 5th Cavalry Regiment: its oldest and most highly decorated of the division's four regiments: the 5th, 12th, 8th and 7th. When the division's horse mounted elements formed a column of two's, the column extended six miles long. Incidentally, the 7th's song Gary Owen and the film "They Died With Their Boots On" rankled my dad. The rivalry among the regiments proved quite strong and enduring since the 5th Cavalry regiment's standard carried more campaign ribbons than any other regiment in the division---in fact, far more than the standards of the 7th, 12th, and 8th combined.
The Seventh Cavalry lost company guidons -- at least five -- during the fight, and Gen. Custer's personal HQ flag, but apparently not its regimental colors, which were with the Seventh's pack train during the destruction of Custer's five companies (C.E, F, I, and L).
Served as troop commander in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and remember many “pass and reviews” with the band playing the Garry Owen and yes, I earned my spurs and they remain mounted in my den. Blood and Steel!
🤠👍This has always been one of my all time favorite movies as from the time I watched it way back when as a kid, And I own this today on DVD, But then I loved all Errol Flynn's action adventure movies back then as well!,👌.
Probably as historically inaccurate as humanly possible but, nevertheless, one of the greatest scenes in the history of movies!. And still one of the greatest songs EVER! Long live the 7th!
This film like Charge Of The Light Brigade are the currently unrealistic historically or UN PC versions of Little Big Horn and Charge Of the light Brigade at Balaclava. You see kids today, back then they made the movies reflecting how they wish the heroes were pure and stories told were motivating and patriotic. And yeah, I WILL take these unrealistic stories over the current PC correct ones anytime.
How movies portray historical figures depends almost entirely on the cultural attitudes that are prevalent at that time, and often involve warping the figures in question into something that they never were to begin with. Custer is a prime example. The real George Custer of course was not the flawless, uber- heroic champion of all he was portrayed as in this movie, nor was he the demented, heartless, genocidal monster he was portrayed as in the film 'Little Big Man.' Both of those films' portrayals of Custer were shaped by the periods in which they were made and the attitudes people had toward war at those times (This movie was made in the middle of World War II, 'Little Big Man' was made in the later years of the Vietnam War). The real George Custer was a man much like most of us: He had both good and bad traits. He was a vain and egotistical man (In a journal entry, he once described his own face as "Beautiful") who had a lot of the prejudices that were common at that time. However, he also had a strong sense of honor and was genuinely devoted to his men. It's believed that all of those qualities were what led him to do what he did in Little Big Horn.
I love this song and my dad loved it too! I read several books about Custer and 7th Cavalry and at last I heard there is still a 7th Cavalry Regiment in the army and Gary Owen is still their song.
I know this Glorious piece of music and history belongs to The (Mighty) Seventh Calvary, but it sure does make You stick Your chest out with Pride when standing in a Parade!
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I wonder what was going through Custer's mind when he realized that he'd led his men into a slaughter? Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, Custer was a pussy. You ain't. One of my favorite movie lines EVER!!! Gary Owen!!!
I don’t believe the real Sgt Major would say such a disrespectful comment about their Regiment’s most famous soldier. Probably just a Hollywood screenwriter’s creation.
What a wonderful song and what a wonderful film! I was a kid when I watched for the first time "They died with their boots on" and I became a fan of the US cavalry in spite of being born and bred in Argentina. When we played "cowboys and Indians" I was always a trooper of the 7th.
Queens own Butler my Arse, The tune was brought to the 7th Cavalry by Brevet Colonel Myles W. Keogh He was from County Carlow. After the war, Keogh remained in the regular United States Army as commander of Company I in the 7th Cavalry Regiment under George Armstrong Custer during the Indian Wars, until he was killed along with Custer and all of his men at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.
Watching this scene, I have always imagined that the actor on the left near the piano with the long sideburns had to be Keogh. See how he quickly picks up the tune, exactly as a good Irishman would be expected to.
Keogh was the one. Rode a horse named Comanche. Indians had scared him as a young horse and while Keogh and another soldier were bathing in a stream, the horse threw a fit, warning the men, who escaped. Supposedly was only living creature to suvive the battle
@@irenestewart1942 Straight no he was a Catholic By 1860, a twenty-year-old Myles Keogh had volunteered, along with over one thousand of his countrymen, to rally to the defence of Pope Pius IX following a call to arms by the Catholic clergy in Ireland.
We are probably the only culture on earth today and perhaps in recorded history that chooses to mock or belittle our heroes. Men who fought and sacrificed to give us what we have today. When we finally fall, what rises up will without mercy or regret hail it and celebrate there heroes and our demise.
And that's a healthy thing. No room for foolish idol worship to those who had malintentions and were self promoting grandstanders. The first sign of a declining super-power rotting from within, whether the Roman Empire, the Egytians, the British, etc., was the selfadulation and monument building for its own glorification.
@@docfurious2408 name one society/culture that hasn't perpetrated that upon or it hasn't happened to. To the victors go the spoils. And so it follows that history is written by the victors. Tough.
Custer stopped cold Jubal Early's flanking maneuver against the Fishhook at a critical point on the second day at Gettysburg. Leading three understrength Michigan cavalry regiments against the arriving Confederates, he charged so intrepidly that Early became convinced he was either facing an entire cavalry Division, or the leading elements of a Union infantry corps. Early therefore took the time to deploy from column to line before moving his men forward -- which time delayed his attack until it had less chance of success, such that he ultimately demurred to make it. Early was late! Had Custer merely fallen back through the woods before his obviously much stronger enemy, as a cavalry screen "should" in this instance, we might all be speaking Southern now! Custer also took leading roles at Brandy Station, in the Valley and in other cavalry fights, and led a cavalry division that prevented Lees' departure from Appomattox -- effectively ending the war. None of Custer's postwar antics and controversies -- not even the LBHorn -- can tarnish his Civil War record, as the youngest general officer on the Northern side.
Ser Awesome Bill of Dawsonville yeah tbh he would probably be part of the Me too movement. Womanizer, underage girls. I doubt he was gay though. Also shocked me to learn Clark Gable raped a girl once. A lot of bad stuff happened in old Hollywood (and even new Hollywood)
As the late, great Olivia de havilland said about Flynn, "No one in Hollywood did what he did better than he did." May the two reunite to entertain in the heavens.
I will always like the song Gary owen because i sing this song when i was working it makes me feel better about my work and it makes the day go fast im retired after over 43yrs
It is not real history but captures the spirit of the times. So many times has I wished that things had been at least in part that way. Custer was an egomaniac who I believed could not be made to reason. But at least the part where he sees the plotting of the stealing of the Black Hills and he recognizes Crazy Horse's side of the story was interesting. I loved how Butler calls things as they really are when he calls the Native Indians as the only Real Americans.
We can dare or we can do United men and brothers too Their gallant footsteps to pursue And change our country's story. Our hearts so stout have got us fame For soon 'tis known from whence we came Where'er we go they dread the name Of Garryowen in glory. And when the mighty day comes round We still shall hear their voices sound Our clans shall roar along the ground For Garryowen in glory. We'll emulate their high renown To strike our false oppressor down And stir the old triumphant sound Of Garryowen in glory.
i always loved this movie. made me want to be in the Cavalry. and when i joined the Army, yep my first and my second assignment was Cavalry. the 1/14th Armored Cavalry Regt in Germany and the 1/3 Armored Cavalry at Ft Lewis WA.
Me: I should go for a walk today, it's nice out *puts this song on MP3 player and steps out* 'Five Minutes Later' *riding upon a horse with a sword and saddle carbine* How the hell did I end up here?
In September last year I visited The Little Big Horn battle site, and like Culloden, it was the very last place to mount an offensive for ‘trained’ military.
As stirring a tune as Gary Owen is (i'm an former !st Cav trooper), The official tune of the 7th Cavalry at the time of the Little Bighorn fight was not Gary Owen but She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.
I once saw Olivia de Havilland years ago on TV being interviewed on the popular morning talk show The View. The question came up if she and Errol Flynn were ever (secretly) romantically involved. After all, they starred in so many pictures together. Being the lady that Olivia was, she looked down with a coquettish smile on her face and moved on to another question. What a grand lady she is, and always will be.
The values create the type of music. Also, if it is popular music, the result of a spark of enthusiasm, you can see that mix between fun with dignity and greatness.

7TH Cavalry Version We are the pride of the army, And a regiment of great renown, Our name's on the pages of history, From sixty six on down. If you think we stop or falter, While into the fray we're goin' Just watch the step with our heads erect When our band plays "Garry Owen." Chorus: In the Fighting Seventh's the place for me. It's the cream of all the cavalry; No other regiment ever can claim It's pride, honor, glory, and undying fame. We know no fear when stern duty Calls us far away from home, Our country's flag shall sagely o'er us wave, No matter where we roam. T'is the gallant Seventh Cavalry, It matters not where we're goin' such you'll surely say as we march away, When our band plays "Garry Owen." (Chorus) Then hurrah for our brave commanders! Who lead us into the fight. We'll do or die in our country's cause. And battle for the right. And when the war is o'er And to our home we're goin' Just watch the step, with our head erect, When our band plays, "Garry Owen."
The Irish immigrants to America from '48, became the backbone of the Union Army during the Civil War, and of course, the remaining in the cavalry or the digging the railroad bed and laying track in the West, were the only real choices for furloughed soldiers without a real job at home "back East". I am an amateur American Historian, especial of the central West where I grew up. The immigration to and development of the city of St. Louis and the State of Missouri were so dependent upon the Irish from several generations. They weren't simply "murdering Scum" and they are not seen by Americans as a stain on the Irish Character. I am not of Irish heritage at all, I do admire their grit and determination to succeed in being and becoming American.
I'm not an American, but I saw this on TV as a kid and even now, this scene still gives me goosebumps.

My great uncle Arthur V. Hegney died at age 18 after arriving in France in November 1917, with the Fighting 69th regiment first engaged in training near Valcouleurs and Grand. It then undertook a legendary muddy 80-mile march just after Christmas through the Vosges mountains to Longeau and Luneville. It had its first combat experience on 26 February 1918 in the nearby trenches of the Rouge Bouquet Chaussilles Sector in the Foret de Parroy near the village of Baccarat. While there, it suffered its first combat casualties, including the deaths of 21 men from the 2nd Battalion on 7 March when a dugout collapsed under bombardment. This event was memorialized in Sergeant Joyce Kilmer's poem "Rouge Bouquet" and by a painting of the same name by Emmett Watson. The name of the song is "Garyowen" and is Irish Gaelic compounded word composed of two Irish words, which means . The movie made in 1940 is named, "The Fighting 69th" and my uncle's name is on the memorial at the end of the film.
Very interesting story. Thank you for sharing. What does "Garyowen" mean?
@@RErnie-gv1hv dunno. Name of the song.
Garyowen. Is a small in town in the Republic of Ireland.
Your great uncle was a fool who surrendered his life for nothing but the whims of other men. Now his soul burns for eternity because of his folly. In the military we say “ play stupid games win stupid prizes” what a loser.
@@RErnie-gv1hv Garryowen comes from the Irish words Garraí and Eóghan/Eóin which means Eoin's Garden. The first song was written (or sung) by drinkers in around Garryowen, which was then a fashionable area of town, and was picked up and carried abroad by the 5th Royal Irish Dragoons who were billeted in Limerick.
Garryowen isn't a village, it's a suburb of Limerick city.
The legend is Brevet General Custer overheard one of his Irish NCOs singing the tune and thought the rhythm of the song matched the trot of a horse, and thus adopted it for the 7th Cavalry Regiment, especially after he heard the song's "rough and tumble" message.
Wow...thank you for sharing*
Regimental March of Connaught Rangers and Royal Irish Fusiliers, both regiments sadly gone.
There were 110 Irish troopers fought and died with Custer at the Big Horn.
History states they were first generation Irish.
Little Big Horn.
@@georgebarlow5829 The Connaught Rangers were one of the finest regiments in the British army and they covered themselves with glory in Spain under Wellington 1809-1814.
I dare you to get this song out of your head once you hear it.
Why would I wanna do that! 😬Motivation 💯
Antoino Mckay I sing it i n my head so NO
Yes, it definitely is that. My grandfather was in the 7th the first decade of the last century. I believe it also went over to Europe in WWI, perhaps under Pershing who commanded the unit my grandfather was in. I don't care if this film takes liberties with history, altho the Capt. Fitzhugh Lee segment is true, it is a great Raoul Walsh film. It was also the last pairing of Flynn and DeHaviland.
Its my ringtone.
Nope it's stuck love this song
The 7th Calvary still lives to this day as part of the 1st Cav division
My wife and I visited little bighorn battlefield in 2002. We walked the path that you could walk on. We saw the head stones were the soldiers fell that day, and also were General Custer fell. For years I thought he was buried there, but found out at the request of his wife, his body was exumed and buried at West Point
Forward to the Lt. Gov. of Minnesota who even denounces Columbus!
My ancestor, Eric Fuchs who came to Nebraska from Germany in the 1890s actually ran into two Little Bighorn veterans in Wyoming, a ArapahoIndian who fought against Custer that day, and a 7th cavalry retired officer. He got to hear from both sides of one of the last great battles on American soil ever fought, and eventually managed to get them both to meet each other and reconcile.

Beautiful story that would be awesome story to set and listen to from two people that were actually there!!💗💗💗
Bloody marvellous! I play this in memory of my father, who rode with the cavalry when they still had horses. Watching this clip reminds me of watching him on mounted parade when I was a very small boy.
Used to love marching this song when I was in the Army in the 70s. Did time on the old West German border with A Troop 1/11th ACR "Black Horse".
Score any Czech beer?
This is a good example of how film composer Max Steiner could take a vernacular tune and use it effectively. Another good example is As Time Goes By in Casablanca.
Warner Brothers brought incredible entertainment to our lives........Errol was a class act! ! !
For all of Custer’s troopers out there forever on the Little Bighorn.
See you all one day on Fiddlers Green.
Garry Owen!!!
STRIKE HOLD
My gr-gr-gr-grandfather Henry Jackson was the only Englishman to hold a commission in the US 7th Cavalry in June 1876 (though he didn’t take part in the Battle of the Little Big Horn).
He was a lieutenant of light cavalry in the British Army during the Crimean War (1853-56) AND a lieutenant in the 14th Illinois Cavalry (Union Army) in the War Between the States (1863-1865).
I have his letters. He spoke highly of his commander, Col. George A Custer 🇺🇸🇬🇧
So the guy in the clip then?
Forward to the Lt. Gov. of Minnesota who even denounces Columbus!
Did he meet Harry flashman who was also in Crimea and LBH?
Film composer Max Steiner always did great things with vernacular tunes. Garryowen, as used in this film, is a good example.
My late father was from Limerick and played rugby for the Garryowen club. This was a song we knew well when I was little. Rest in Peace pops.

Fought with and used the 1st Cav 1/9 and 2/7 INF as my team’s QRF While in Baghdad Iraq in 2004-2005. On many occasions they helped us out of some shit. This is their song, Much respect.
WOW!
great respect to each and everyone one of you.
GarryOwen!
Thank you for your service...You served with the 1st of the 9th, an aggressive, outstanding Cav squadron in the 'Nam...their esprit de corps was second to none...Scouts, Guns, Slicks & Blues....all hard chargers, brave men...as I understand it, the unit, under the 1st Air Cav, initiated the majority of the actions of said Division in that conflict...they literally were the tip of the spear...one of their principal units were known as the "Headhunters"...you must be very proud...I would be...Garryowen!
This will be stuck in my head all day now.
When I was a young child I asked my Grandfather if he had been in the Army. He replied that he had. I then asked if he had been a sergeant in the Army. He replied that he had been a sergeant of Cavalry; not a sergeant. It wasn't til I grew to manhood that I realized just how cool he was!
The Seventh Cavalry Regiment lives on as a unit of the 1st Cavalry Division stationed at Fort Hood, Texas!
BTW, My brother's name is James Carter!
Oh, my! A stroke above the Submarine Carter's of Plains, I'll bet.
Love this song, I'm proud of my service in the modern " air cavalry" HHT 1/6, B TRP 4/7th ( yes seventh cavalry) D Trp 3/5th Cav and D Trp 1/9th Cav. What a feeling to do a pass in review and listen to our division band break into "Gary Owen" as we marched pass. I hope to hear it as I march up to the Pearly Gates, that before St. Peter turns me around and sends me off to "Fiddlers Green"!
As I've added to comments in this section, there's a certain kind of brotherhood and yes an insane bravery that only the worlds cavalry regiments ( my dad was a 17/21st lancer , the mob that got wiped out at Balaclava The 7th Cavalry under Custer. The Polish Lancers in 39 charging tanks with swords and lances, ) truly ride to the sound of the guns lads death or glory ☠
A TRP 4/7 Cav myself👍
C Trp and HHT 4/7 Cav 82-83. My dad was 5/7 Cav RVN. It was also the regimental song of the Royal Irish Fusiliers of the British Army and the NY Fighting 69th! “Instead of spa, we’ll drink brown ale, and pay the reckoning and the nail, For debt no man shall go to jail, for Garryowen and glory!”
I like it how first they dont know the song but in 20 seconds they sing it like they sang it as young kids
Don't overthink it amigo
Our high school marching band played it in the new York St Patricks day Parade.
after seeing this for the first time as a child, never the slightest chance i would ever forget either the film, the song or errol and olivia. remains one of my top ten movies of all time.
I remember back in the 60s... it was a Sunday afternoon after lunch and this came on tv. I was 6 and my parents had me wash dry and put away our dishes! I missed the first 20 minutes as a result. My great grandfather was a trooper in the Roughriders and later served in the Phillipines. After IOBC and Airborne I served in the 2d BN 7th Cavalry- mech InFantry as a platoon leader and later as a Company Commander. Great times. GARRY OWEN!
I cannot agree more. I moved to Idaho 15 years ago from Nashville and on my way out there was one place I had to see, the Little Big Horn battle site in Hardin, Montana. Very somber and humbling place.
your easily pleased, Hollywood nonsense.
Thanks for posting, One of the best movies EVER !!! and lets not forget the song----Gary Owen.
1963lsteveo, no “Gary Owen” - not a place or a person. At least not connected to this song or to the suburb of Limerick, Ireland. It is one word, “Garryowen”, and translates as “Garden of John”.
The best image I have of Custer is the one portrayed by Errol Flynn, I know its Hollywood but who could portray it better than this man.
Eddie Murphy?
@@johntuttle4486 cocaines a hell of a drug
I prefer the later Son Of The Morning Star, is more historically accurate, but this older version is a great adventure story combing together parts of the history of the West.
Yes we all know that Custer was an Aussie!
@@kevinlevin3479 Except Errol Flynn wasn't an Aussie, he was a Kiwi.
I watched this movie with my father many times growing up. Great memories and a great movie.
I watched this movie as a child and the best thing about it, the thing I most remember, is the "Garryowen"!
Did you have the Custer Annual?
I wonder where my copy is now?
Historically a mess, but as a movie it earns my highest rating.
For you a mess, but it was the REAL history. No paid liar "official" historians.
Historical accuracy was never a priority then as now. It's release date of 1941 should sum it all up. The world was in flames and Hollywood was the epicenter of changing public opinion about the war in Europe as well as Japanese aggression in the all-important Pacific. The Sea Hawk in 1940 was another propaganda movie that was Pro-British. The character of the British Officer, Butler in TDWTBO was not just for amusement. It was a plug for Britain & it's desperate hold out against Nazi aggression. In short, It worked!
No doubt
Yes -- the cinematic equivalent of that famous but really inaccurate heroic lithograph of the Last Stand that appeared behind many a bar back in the day.
Well there were a number of films like that during the war that ignored history over patriotism.
Cav All The Way! Thanks! I will never forget this tune, as I will never forget I was a proud cavalry trooper too! Thank you!
served in the cav also, loved it. 2nd AD, 2nd Inf Div, 1st Cav Div. we started wearing the black berets in 74 or 75
I patrolled the border of the east german/Czech border in the mid 80s in 1st platoon, e trp, 2/2 acr as a 19d20. Hard life, but cannot imagine a better group of men I want with me when shit hits the fan
Those drums always haunt me, just imagine the sound they made back then as
the troops marched on.
Errol Flynn , well no need to elaborate just spell binding charisma.
Many thanks.
I know this post was along time ago but I just wanted to say that my dad worked with Errol Flynn on Robin Hood and always loved this movie 🍿 regardless of how truthful it really was too what actually happened...
But my dad was also in Pearl Harbor as a photographer and after the attack a few days later the Navy band played this song on Ford Island because one of the admiral's loved it ... plus it was a tribute to the band from the U.S.S. Arizona that were all allowed to sleep in that morning because they had won the battle of the bands the night before...they of course were all killed when the Arizona was hit...just a little bit of history I thought I'd pass along...
Nice clip, with a nice touch of Hollywood, nostalgia thrown in. One of my favorites. Thanks. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I remember when I surprised my brother by finding and getting him the CD of this score....even though this movie is SO inaccurate, I do like Flynn's portrayal. Listening to this makes me smile just a little because I think of my brother (he passed in 2007) up in heaven bugging the hell out of the real "Audie" :-)
And so was born The immortal 7° U.S. CAVALRY . ❤️

When Custer lost the 7th Cavalry's battle flags on the Little Big Horn in 1876, it was not until the year 1919 when the Army restored to the 7th Cav new battle flags. My father rode in the last horse mounted review of the First Cavalry Division when he served in that division's 5th Cavalry Regiment: its oldest and most highly decorated of the division's four regiments: the 5th, 12th, 8th and 7th. When the division's horse mounted elements formed a column of two's, the column extended six miles long. Incidentally, the 7th's song Gary Owen and the film "They Died With Their Boots On" rankled my dad. The rivalry among the regiments proved quite strong and enduring since the 5th Cavalry regiment's standard carried more campaign ribbons than any other regiment in the division---in fact, far more than the standards of the 7th, 12th, and 8th combined.
The Seventh Cavalry lost company guidons -- at least five -- during the fight, and Gen. Custer's personal HQ flag, but apparently not its regimental colors, which were with the Seventh's pack train during the destruction of Custer's five companies (C.E, F, I, and L).
Thanks for posting this. This is the BEST version of the song. Hollywoods 1941 version of current MTV. How things have changed.
Served as troop commander in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and remember many “pass and reviews” with the band playing the Garry Owen and yes, I earned my spurs and they remain mounted in my den. Blood and Steel!

THANKS FOR THE HISTORY OF THIS SONG...
Now that I've heard I realize I've heard it many times before in lots of movies!
Movie that really got me into researching Custer and the Indian wars
Love it !! Thanks for the post!! You can never get tired of this one !!!!
Probably as historically inaccurate as humanly possible but, nevertheless, one of the greatest scenes in the history of movies!.
And still one of the greatest songs EVER!
Long live the 7th!
It is Artistic License at it's simplest and finest alright.
I am actually fine with this as it actually made a good story, not like some weird shit where they recreate history and think its the best shit ever
HUZZAH!
Yeppers true, most movies are inaccurate. I only know the old movies, and love this one greatly, even not being a Custer person.
Superb version of an everlasting tune/song with an intercontinental history behind it that spans for hundreds of years now...
This film like Charge Of The Light Brigade are the currently unrealistic historically or UN PC versions of Little Big Horn and Charge Of the light Brigade at Balaclava. You see kids today, back then they made the movies reflecting how they wish the heroes were pure and stories told were motivating and patriotic. And yeah, I WILL take these unrealistic stories over the current PC correct ones anytime.
Neo-Nazi?, really that is low for a criticism. At least try to make a better argument based on facts or different filmmaking styles over the years.
Wolfen443 you just said you werent interested in facts you idiot
Wolfen443 im confused are you on the side of the british or the americans?
on could say when "They Died With Their Boots On" was made it was a PC film of it day. so it take Historical truth over Historical lies
How movies portray historical figures depends almost entirely on the cultural attitudes that are prevalent at that time, and often involve warping the figures in question into something that they never were to begin with. Custer is a prime example. The real George Custer of course was not the flawless, uber- heroic champion of all he was portrayed as in this movie, nor was he the demented, heartless, genocidal monster he was portrayed as in the film 'Little Big Man.' Both of those films' portrayals of Custer were shaped by the periods in which they were made and the attitudes people had toward war at those times (This movie was made in the middle of World War II, 'Little Big Man' was made in the later years of the Vietnam War).
The real George Custer was a man much like most of us: He had both good and bad traits. He was a vain and egotistical man (In a journal entry, he once described his own face as "Beautiful") who had a lot of the prejudices that were common at that time. However, he also had a strong sense of honor and was genuinely devoted to his men. It's believed that all of those qualities were what led him to do what he did in Little Big Horn.
I love this song and my dad loved it too! I read several books about Custer and 7th Cavalry and at last I heard there is still a 7th Cavalry Regiment in the army and Gary Owen is still their song.
19 delta the cav is very much alive i just graduated from fort Benning A trp 5-15

Totally love this movie. Flynn does it well. Back when hollyweird tried to make people happy instead of angry. Like Brigadier General Jimmy Stewart.
Great Song and Great History for American Patriots going into battle against ANY Enemy Foreign & Domestic ! Very encouraging !
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore:
I wonder what was going through Custer's mind when he realized that he'd led his men into a slaughter?
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley:
Sir, Custer was a pussy. You ain't.
One of my favorite movie lines EVER!!! Gary Owen!!!
I don’t believe the real Sgt Major would say such a disrespectful comment about their Regiment’s most famous soldier. Probably just a Hollywood screenwriter’s creation.
@@Redwhiteblue-gr5emCuster lost at the Little Big Horn. Moore won in the Ia Drang Valley.
Game, set, match.
@@starguy2718 Moore had radios and called in air and artillery support. Custer didn’t have this capability .
The roll of media, movies, TV is very strong they play a big roll to influence what is and what is not.
What a wonderful song and what a wonderful film! I was a kid when I watched for the first time "They died with their boots on" and I became a fan of the US cavalry in spite of being born and bred in Argentina. When we played "cowboys and Indians" I was always a trooper of the 7th.
Queens own Butler my Arse, The tune was brought to the 7th Cavalry by Brevet Colonel Myles W. Keogh He was from County Carlow.
After the war, Keogh remained in the regular United States Army as commander of Company I in the 7th Cavalry Regiment under George Armstrong Custer during the Indian Wars, until he was killed along with Custer and all of his men at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.
Watching this scene, I have always imagined that the actor on the left near the piano with the long sideburns had to be Keogh. See how he quickly picks up the tune, exactly as a good Irishman would be expected to.
Damn right it was Keogh. A hero of hero's.
Keogh was the one. Rode a horse named Comanche. Indians had scared him as a young horse and while Keogh and another soldier were bathing in a stream, the horse threw a fit, warning the men, who escaped. Supposedly was only living creature to suvive the battle
Was he a full British officer before the American Civil War?
@@irenestewart1942 Straight no he was a Catholic By 1860, a twenty-year-old Myles Keogh had volunteered, along with over one thousand of his countrymen, to rally to the defence of Pope Pius IX following a call to arms by the Catholic clergy in Ireland.
I love the expression on Olivia de Haviland 's face as the troops ride by.
We are probably the only culture on earth today and perhaps in recorded history that chooses to mock or belittle our heroes. Men who fought and sacrificed to give us what we have today. When we finally fall, what rises up will without mercy or regret hail it and celebrate there heroes and our demise.
It’s what brainwashed leftists do.
And that's a healthy thing. No room for foolish idol worship to those who had malintentions and were self promoting grandstanders. The first sign of a declining super-power rotting from within, whether the Roman Empire, the Egytians, the British, etc., was the selfadulation and monument building for its own glorification.
Tell that to the indigenous peoples they murdered and stole their lands.
@@docfurious2408 name one society/culture that hasn't perpetrated that upon or it hasn't happened to. To the victors go the spoils. And so it follows that history is written by the victors. Tough.

Custer stopped cold Jubal Early's flanking maneuver against the Fishhook at a critical point on the second day at Gettysburg. Leading three understrength Michigan cavalry regiments against the arriving Confederates, he charged so intrepidly that Early became convinced he was either facing an entire cavalry Division, or the leading elements of a Union infantry corps. Early therefore took the time to deploy from column to line before moving his men forward -- which time delayed his attack until it had less chance of success, such that he ultimately demurred to make it. Early was late! Had Custer merely fallen back through the woods before his obviously much stronger enemy, as a cavalry screen "should" in this instance, we might all be speaking Southern now! Custer also took leading roles at Brandy Station, in the Valley and in other cavalry fights, and led a cavalry division that prevented Lees' departure from Appomattox -- effectively ending the war. None of Custer's postwar antics and controversies -- not even the LBHorn -- can tarnish his Civil War record, as the youngest general officer on the Northern side.
I always thought Flynn was a great actor.
Ser Awesome Bill of Dawsonville yeah tbh he would probably be part of the Me too movement. Womanizer, underage girls. I doubt he was gay though.
Also shocked me to learn Clark Gable raped a girl once. A lot of bad stuff happened in old Hollywood (and even new Hollywood)
As the late, great Olivia de havilland said about Flynn, "No one in Hollywood did what he did better than he did." May the two reunite to entertain in the heavens.

Thank goodness you adopted an Irish song as inspiration. We have endured 700 years of persecution and survived.
I will always like the song Gary owen because i sing this song when i was working it makes me feel better about my work and it makes the day go fast im retired after over 43yrs
Freedom of speech is a precious thing, always guard it men.
The glory and song to unite regardless of political endeavour.
This beginning scene is very moving as you know most of them are doomed…
I was in the in the 1st Cav in 67 68 and 69. The band would play this song when the Veterans we’re going home.
It is not real history but captures the spirit of the times. So many times has I wished that things had been at least in part that way. Custer was an egomaniac who I believed could not be made to reason. But at least the part where he sees the plotting of the stealing of the Black Hills and he recognizes Crazy Horse's side of the story was interesting. I loved how Butler calls things as they really are when he calls the Native Indians as the only Real Americans.
We can dare or we can do
United men and brothers too
Their gallant footsteps to pursue
And change our country's story.
Our hearts so stout have got us fame
For soon 'tis known from whence we came
Where'er we go they dread the name
Of Garryowen in glory.
And when the mighty day comes round
We still shall hear their voices sound
Our clans shall roar along the ground
For Garryowen in glory.
We'll emulate their high renown
To strike our false oppressor down
And stir the old triumphant sound
Of Garryowen in glory.
i always loved this movie. made me want to be in the Cavalry. and when i joined the Army, yep my first and my second assignment was Cavalry. the 1/14th Armored Cavalry Regt in Germany and the 1/3 Armored Cavalry at Ft Lewis WA.

I wish there was a rendition of Gary Owen like this to be found somewhere. The words I mean, they're different than what are generally found.
If anything the actual Gary Owen is a much more ribald and masculine song than the lyrics here.
Victor Orozco Yes, paying one's bar tab is the height of manliness.
Look it up. Google.
In September last year I visited The Little Big Horn battle site, and like Culloden, it was the very last place to mount an offensive for ‘trained’ military.
Still the song of the 7th Cavelry
the song Garryowen originated in England in the 1850s.
Cavalry
Teddy Roosevelt proposed it as a national anthem
As stirring a tune as Gary Owen is (i'm an former !st Cav trooper), The official tune of the 7th Cavalry at the time of the Little Bighorn fight was not Gary Owen but She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.
So why the switch in songs?
@@nicholasmuro1742
Olivia de Havilland was such a beautiful woman.
+Satan Himself total fox she was
+Kent Tarlo ditto
She still is, even at her current age.
She turned 100 years old a couple of days ago.
I once saw Olivia de Havilland years ago on TV being interviewed on the popular morning talk show The View. The question came up if she and Errol Flynn were ever (secretly) romantically involved. After all, they starred in so many pictures together. Being the lady that Olivia was, she looked down with a coquettish smile on her face and moved on to another question. What a grand lady she is, and always will be.
The values create the type of music. Also, if it is popular music, the result of a spark of enthusiasm, you can see that mix between fun with dignity and greatness.
As much as I love this film, I also have haunting images from Little Big Man when I hear Garry Owen.

7TH Cavalry Version
We are the pride of the army,
And a regiment of great renown,
Our name's on the pages of history,
From sixty six on down.
If you think we stop or falter,
While into the fray we're goin'
Just watch the step with our heads erect
When our band plays "Garry Owen."
Chorus:
In the Fighting Seventh's the place for me.
It's the cream of all the cavalry;
No other regiment ever can claim
It's pride, honor, glory, and undying fame.
We know no fear when stern duty
Calls us far away from home,
Our country's flag shall sagely o'er us wave,
No matter where we roam.
T'is the gallant Seventh Cavalry,
It matters not where we're goin'
such you'll surely say as we march away,
When our band plays "Garry Owen."
(Chorus)
Then hurrah for our brave commanders!
Who lead us into the fight.
We'll do or die in our country's cause.
And battle for the right.
And when the war is o'er
And to our home we're goin'
Just watch the step, with our head erect,
When our band plays, "Garry Owen."

The Irish immigrants to America from '48, became the backbone of the Union Army during the Civil War, and of course, the remaining in the cavalry or the digging the railroad bed and laying track in the West, were the only real choices for furloughed soldiers without a real job at home "back East". I am an amateur American Historian, especial of the central West where I grew up. The immigration to and development of the city of St. Louis and the State of Missouri were so dependent upon the Irish from several generations. They weren't simply "murdering Scum" and they are not seen by Americans as a stain on the Irish Character. I am not of Irish heritage at all, I do admire their grit and determination to succeed in being and becoming American.
this tune and waltzing matilda get me worked up--@ 70 not much else does
If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to tear it up in a US Army cavalry bar, get every bastard drunk and have them sing the Gary...
Nine Years later, still not had the opportunity.
