- This item has PATHE GAZETTE OPENING TITLE (01:47:45) - (48:03). A loudspeaker with cockerel is seen on the left side of the screen - accompanied by the sound of Morse Code - bleeps.
Letters appear from the speaker (and some flashes). Letters read Pathe Gazette, which is replaced with First in 1910 - Best in 1934. This is replaced with Speaks for Itself. Now all lines appear from the loudspeaker together - looks very loud - Pathe - Gazette - Speaks for Itself - First in 1910 - Best in 1934. Both picture and sound then slowly fade out.
The full title reads "Berlin and Aldershot "GALLANT GESTURE" General Sir Ian Hamilton brings back the Gordon's Drums - returned to the Regiment by President Von Hindenburg."
Nice close up shot of General Sir Ian Hamilton in uniform. Three heavily decorated men (Sir Ian in the middle) with drums in front of them.
Sir Ian speaking into microphone, several high ranking officers behind him. General brought back the drums from Berlin War Museum. Sir Ian talks about German President, General Paul von Hindenburg.
Top shot of the military pipe band marching along the street. Several shots of the drums being ceremonially marched along the ranks lined up in a square. An officer reads the message from German President. Follows a march past.

"...that the old allies of the Battle Of Waterloo..." At 1:28 I just love that the British and German officier snap their heads up and look at each other with an expression of "Aight, sounds good" after hearing that.
"old allies of Waterloo" the sadness that the remark evokes. England and Prussia were allies many times in history
I think Hitler thought the same might happen against the common enemy of communism, and Churchill proposed such a move after the surrender in 1945, that Britain, France, America and rearmed Waffen SS and Wehrmacht soldiers push forward and attack the Russians to destroy communism. Cooler heads prevailed. I wonder how that would have gone?
These films always make a great impression on me. Absolutely fascinating and moving.
And 6 years later we were at it again
I might have but a small % of Scottish blood flowing through my veins, but there's something about this bagpipes that stirs the emotions.
General Sir Ian Hamilton passed away in 1947. He was said to have been a fan of Adolf Hitler but before it was known of Hitler's war intentions and everything else that followed. General Sir Ian lived through WWII to see Germany's second defeat. He also served in the Boer Wars and WWI. You can't say he didn't live his life! He died aged 94.
Said in the video he was 81, pretty good shape/health then, so yes 94
Still can't get over all those medals.... Godfrey Daniel!! Too much cow-bell! Hahaha!
Amazing seeing someone born in the mid 1800's in this video.
Yeah weird. They were a teenager when the civil war was raging.

Which civil war?
FD S USA
@@lostinpa-dadenduro7555
Well, seeing how he's _British..._
FD S Well yes, but our history here is my point of reference in the world. I’m sure someone from Britain would say wow he was a teen during such and such. 😀 👍
Sir Ian Hamilton was a terrible general (Gallipoli) But this is a great clip. Shows the discipline and mutual respect. Great historical record. THANK YOU for posting it.
Its a shame we fell out with the Germans twice within a 20 year period because certainly all the Germans I've met born after WW2, I've thought them all rather agreeable.
Well this was a entirely diff government rn compared to 36 hindenburg death made hitler have full power and we all know rest is history relationships were screwed with west such a shame
As it has been said, we (UK, USA) were never their natural enemy, nor IMO were the Germans ever "natural nazi's". I have lived and worked in Germany, you couldn't meet more friendly, hospitable people.
Here's something to ponder. If the 2 surviving sons of Queen Victoria died when they were gravely ill when young, instead of surviving as they did, then the heir to the Throne of the United Kingdom, would be Victoria's daughter Victoria. She died in 1900. So the heir to Queen Victoria would be Kaiser Wilheim II of Germany. King of Prussia would become King William V of the United Kingdom, and Emperor of Germany would become Emperor of India in January 1901.
I agree with that. Political history aside, their character and demeanour isn’t too different to our own. Which shouldn’t be too surprising when you consider where the Saxons actually came from.
@@stephenroney2366 Well it was the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and before that the House of Hanover when George I replaced Queen Anne.
As an ex-British Army infantryman footage like this makes me lament the loss of so much tradition. Of course things can’t stay the same forever. We have to adapt. But, through no fault of its, the British Army is now in a pitiful state and, from an infantry point of view, the concept of the Line Regiment has been all but spent. Shame on successive British governments.
Nice long, detailed explanation about the logo and intro.
How about a little background on the significance of the drums! Where they were taken, etc. That would put the story into some historical perspective.
Said they were left behind in the video, never captured / taken as trophys
When the Gordons would happily admit to being gay
J'aime beaucoup vos informations
Its Col Blimp, "In future be friends and that we shall have no more war", could one man have been so hopelessly wrong!

Take your racist neo-N*** BS elsewhere. Your kind of comments are the reason comments are disabled for so many British Pathe videos from this period.
@@Barabel22 so much for democracy,,,,,,,,,, eh
@@Barabel22 He has the right to speak.
@@awildtannerwasfound5045 And UA-cam or British Pathe have a right to delete his comments. Free speech laws apply to the government interfering in it, not private corporations. Why can’t you people be that in your head? I’ve been saying it for years.
@@Barabel22 Didn't say nothing about the British Pathe, just that he had the right to speak.
A lot of food for thought here, especially the way things are currently.
Britains greatest mistakes were the declaration of war to germany in 1914 and 1939.
When the English and Scots were themselves .
Where did they go???
No more war.. yeah right..
His comment didn’t age well lol
If this was 1934, imagine that in 5 short years they invaded poland
imagine that poland could have avoid that. Thats the sad part
And that several parts of Germany were still occupied by foreign forces although the first world war was over for 16 years already but that there was no will to give in especially in Lithuania, France, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Weird especially how Poland still didn't let go of invasive plans after their forces were kicked out of Silesia by the Freikorps in 1921.
@@lennykump8396if you start a world war and lose then you can't complain you got punished.
Does anyone know where those drums are today?
Probably the Gordons' regimental museum (as the regiment has now been amalgamated out of existence...sadly).
What’s the song the pipes are playing?
Who are those 3 German officers over here?
I wonder where those drums are now?
Probably captured once more
@@nolmanimates3031 Nope. Probably regimental museum.
Drums but not the drummers.
Well let’s hope THEY weren’t kept at the museum lol
No mo woh,just living in fantasy
Camper than a row of tents…..
You’re a what?
"The Gordon's were gay once again...." I've known a few chaps like that, not sure they were called Gordon though....
@@bellerophonchallen8861 That's why they never wore underpants. Their motto was, "Always ready for action." Lol.😅

Hindenburg was a fine old gentleman.
