SMILE,! VERY, NATURAL,! REALY CONGRATULATIONS,! FOR THIS YOUR RVM/TRAILER/VIDEO,! SCOTTISH FOLK-SONG,! FROM ITALY....!! AH AH AH..!! BYE BYE, BY ROBIN HOOD 2024...!
A 'British' traditional folk song - give us a break! The song, like the 42nd Highlanders, is Scottish and like the other Scottish Regiments they were used as cannon fodder as can be seen from the wee video. Whoever thought it was a good idea to use the Butcher's Apron at the start and the end of this had no sense of the realities of Scottish History.
Cannon fodder??!! They were greatly admired by the army and only suffered so many casualties because of how much they fought. Elite units through out history tended to suffer heavy casualties as they have a greater morale. They usually loose many men in action before retreating.
Uh, the 42nd (the black watch) were created by the English specifically to guard against Scottish (mainly Highlander) rebellions. They were explicitly pro English/British Union. And the Scottish regiments were far from canon fodder. That’s what the Irish were for /s The British never had “canon fodder” seeing as the British army during the rise and height of the empire was surprisingly small. Unlike almost every other country in Europe, the British did not practice conscription, so their army was always significantly smaller (talking total size) then most of the other main players of the time on the continent. They didn’t have the manpower to have “canon fodder”
Imagine disrespecting the great Scotsmen who fought and built the British Empire and portraying them as a bunch of cannon fodder? Ignoring the fact the Scots were the ones who basically created the Union and were vastly overrepresented in the British military and as merchants, administrators etc. in the colonies.

Wha saw the 42nd, wha saw them gaun awa?
Wha saw the 42nd merchin doon the Broomielaw?

Some o them had nane at aa
Some o them had tattie scones
For tae keep the cauld awa.
Wha saw the 42nd, wha saw them gaun awa?
Wha saw the 42nd merchin doon the Broomielaw?
Some o them had tartan toories
Some o them had nane at aa
Some o them had green umbrellas
For tae keep the rain awa.
Wha saw the tattie howkers? Wha saw them gaun awa?
Wha saw the tatttie howkers merchin doon the Broomielaw?
Some o them had boots an stockins
Some o them had nane at aa
Some o them had a wee drop whisky
For tae keep the cauld awa

They weren't canon fodder, they were the best of the British Army.
