Arr. by WO2 Michael Gray
Taken from "The Music of the Scots Guards"
2nd bn Scots Guards, the greatest guys i ever served with in the 80s, never ever forget their sacrifice and their glory in 82
As an American solider, I was stationed near handorf in Northern Germany in 1982 This music was always played on bfbs. I have always remembered the melody. Today 1 June 2023 I heard it again just as I remembered it
At, "The Battle of Wolf 359", When the *Borg,* proclaim that *"Resistance is futile".* I just *know,* that *there were more than a few Earthborn Starfleet Captain's,* who defiantly, and enthusiastically said, *Computer!* Play *"The Crags of Tumbledown Mountain"!* And play it *LOUD!*
God rest those brave lads who perished on Tumbledown …….freeing a place so so dear to me to live a life of THEIR choosing ..RIP the 255+3 none of whom will ever be forgotten.
All deserve to be remembered for their service. To the whole country. Freedom is a wonderful thing.

I love that tune !
American here! I emphatically say DITTO! It's a seriously Chest Swelling Piece of Music!
It was the Guardsmen of the Crown,
Who scaled the heights of Mount Tumbledown.
And fought that night a bloody fight,
To see victory by dawn's light.
From crag to crag, amongst the rock,
They skirmished on, numbed by shock.
Through shell and mortar fire they moved,
Till at last the ground they'd proved
Port Stanley lay there, just ahead,
As they began to count their dead.
But where the glory, where the pride,
Of those eight brave men who died?
They who made that sacrifice,
And through each death paid the final price.
In their final and heroic act,
Did surely speed the warring parties pact.
Each one who there his life laid down,
Saved countless others from their own unknown.
So those of you who live to talk,
Let your pride soar as does the hawk.
It was the Guardsmen of the Crown,
Who scaled the heights of Mount Tumbledown.
And fought that night a bloody fight,
To see victory by dawn's light.
From crag to crag, amongst the rock,
They skirmished on, numbed by shock.
Through shell and mortar fire they moved,
Till at last the ground they'd proved
And never let men these acts forget,
Nor the memory of our dead neglect,
But once returned across this vast sea,
Remember then just what it was to be...
A Scots Guardsman.
It was the Guardsmen of the Crown,
Who scaled the heights of Mount Tumbledown.
And fought that night a bloody fight,
To see victory by dawn's light.
Beautiful tribute. In the best traditions of Alfred Lord Tennyson!
2:15 to 2:33 is my favourite part, those low brass slurs add a nice little "uhmph"
There is a rumour that this was composed while under fire on Tumbledown Mountain. During the Falklands war.
This is true written on the back of a cigarette packet
