This series is excellent! I'm a retired US Army National Guard officer. I planned a battlefield study we call " staff ride", for the Revolutionary War battle at Charleston, SC in 1779. I was a 2nd Lieutenant, then.
Great video, my uncle was wounded at Monte Casino he was with the Inniskilin Fusiliers, his wound was surprisingly dressed by a German soldier before he disappeared back to his own lines, 5 minutes later he was picked up by men from his regiment. He stayed in the army until 1954 and served in the Korean war.
Hi there, he’d have known my Uncle, Harry Mann from Glengormley, Belfast. He was also in the Skins in North Africa and then at Monte Cassino, stayed in after the war and went to Korea too. I played the Last Post and Réveillé there too. We will remember them, Ian
@@peepresc8002 you’ve a strong family history there. Korea was no picnic. The other half of my family were Royal Ulster Rifles and were at Happy Valley and the Imjin River battles. Ian.
@bugler75 7 of my Dads brothers served in WW2. Two was in the Chindits and one a Para at Arnhem. It was obvious me and my 3 brothers was also goi g to serve. Best wishes Pee.
Great review and I’m glad you mentioned the Polish. Been there several times and sounded the Last Post and Reveille and the Polish equivalent. Such an honour. My Great Uncle served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in 38 (Irish) Bde. All the best in your Army Career. Faugh a Ballagh, Ian
Very informative thankyou. I've always believed you have to study and understand the Past ,as Churchill said ( not verbatum) to stop the same mistakes happening again. And Looking at all the Gravestones, I really hope you Learned because ( God forbid ) it will be your Generation fighting this Time .
Thank you, Chelsie. Excellent video. Did you know that most of the Poles you commemorated had to undergo a tremendous odyssey before they reached Italy, where they fought so bravely? Many of them were captured by the Soviets in Poland early in WW2, were imprisoned in Sibera, but were released by the Sovs when Hitler invaded the USSR in June 1941 and Russia changed sides. Most were simply turned loose, without any aid or leadership. Then they had to make their way south, often on foot, all the way from Siberia to Persia (Iran). There they formed the Free Polish army under General Anders and trained in the deserts of Iran and Iraq for deployment in 1944 to the Mediterranean theatre. So sorry for the lecture, but I'm an intelligence historian, so that's what you get! Good luck with your Sandhurst plans. 👍👍

I’m touched by how many brave souls gave their lives for freedom. May their souls rest in peace.
Military stuff+ history stuff+ beautiful scene and sites+ gorgeous lady, all added up to a beautiful video. Hope to see more in future.
What a fantastic job of restoring the abbey, I only remember seeing photos of it in ruins.
Absolutely amazing your Army Reserve opportunities.

My dad's first cousin was a soldier that fought on the Anzio beach battle.

Is this channel still making videos?
Im confused. You say that you started as a Coldstreamer, but are now with the RMP. How come you got a Light Infantry Beret and badge?
Joined as rifles, we were morphed into the Coldstreams. Transferred to the RMP after 2 years.

Polish troops and airmen were so valuable in the war.
One of my uncles fought his way up through Italy.
Long live British Army.
