      @@paxmosley5950. Well, with ideas modelled on the 1917 revolution, the left faction has always been in society since then, and their agenda has been to dismantle the fibre of a great land. The confirmation of Great Britains' global achievments is expanded from the end of Empire. The beginning of Commonwealth, heralded more and more countries that adopted the traditional values of the motherland; The USA has too. Interesting to note that thousands of refugees have fled to commonwealth countries in present times, to find civil stabilty, and the tried and tested Westminster system of government. You should remember also the thousands of Jews that fled Europe during the Nazis period, found acceptance and prosperity in North America and the UK. The leftists are but a tick on the back of the camel. They are a failed system ; True to say however, that this group are among the PC contingent who will continually pick away at anything in an effort to diminish what is good and right: they professionally split hairs to this end.

      They adopted close formations like that because the accuracy and relatively short range of the guns during that period. If you put a line of guys shoulder to shoulder you create a wall of bullets. Those formations were also designed to deter cavalry.
      Unfortunately as the weapon technology advanced and the guns became more accurate and longer ranged the tactics sometimes took longer to change. They were still fighting in close formations up to the end of the 19th century.
      But during the 1700's where this clip is based on these were the best tactics to adopt believe it or not.

      The Grenadiers were originally part of a normal line infantry regiment, but big men chosen to throw grenades. I think you;re thinking of the light infantry, again which were part of a normal line regiment, would skirmish in front of the regiments lines, but eventually grouped to form dedicated light infantry regiments. The line regiments were the ones who went in for close combat - a volley followed by a rush with the bayonet.

    Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these. But of all the world's great heroes, there's none that can compare. With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers. Those heroes of antiquity ne'er saw a cannon ball, Or knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal. But our brave boys do know it, and banish all their fears, With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers. Whene'er we are commanded to storm the palisades, Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades. We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies' ears.[N 1] Sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the British Grenadiers. And when the siege is over, we to the town repair. The townsmen cry, "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier! Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears! Then sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the British Grenadiers. Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of those Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the loupèd clothes. May they and their commanders live happy all their years. With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.

      Tom Allen well I am American so that particular generalization is wrong, but I get what your getting at. I would say that it isn't Americans that don't understand the difference, it's everyone who doesn't have an education in the classically trained instruments with an instructor working with you giving you immediate feedback.

    They were difficult times and great times , the Commanders,Officers were a great morale boost for the soldiers on that time,they were the brain and the soul for their soldiers ....This was the Napoleonic era warfare. On the WW1 era officers were still courageous,but from WW2 until on these days those so called Officers are just couards and they dont even thing to march with their soldiers on the battleffield.... Respect for the officers before the post napoleonic era .......When the modern warfare was invented the morale,the ethic and the rules of war have changed dramaticaly..........
