RETVRN

PLEASE BRING THE EMPIRE BACK

IM BEGGING YOU GUYS

What is this pipe music?

My grandfather said the Germans were absolutely terrified hearing the bagpipes get closer and closer louder. Here come the Canadians

When the 51st Highland Division marched at past Winston Churchill and General Allan Brooke Commander In Chief General Staff in Tunis in February 1943 General Allan Brooke was to say: It was quite the most impressive sights I have ever seen. The whole Division was most beautifully turned out, and might have been in barracks for the last three months instead of marching 1200 miles and fought many battles during the same period. As I stood alongside Winston watching the Division march past with the wild music of the pipes in my ears, I felt a lump rise in my throat and a tear run down my face. I looked at Winston and saw several tears on his face. For the first time I was beginning to live through the thrill of these first success that were now rendering ultimate victory possible.

Shame Poland wasn’t invited

My grandfather was a Sargent mayor in the 51st Highlanders, fought in North Africa , lightly wounded in el Alamein, continued through Sicily and half way up the 'boot" of Italy.
Then continued through Belgium/Holland / Germany.
He never forgave himself for sending young lads to there deaths...

To my father Bill Hutchison a combat sapper with the division from Africa to Bremerhaven. The Highland Decorators, second to none

What is the name of the march the pipe band was playing?

My grandad was in this oldest bagpiper and my nan was at the cinema at the time and saw him on this footage

My Grandfather was attached to the 51st Highlanders during the desert campaigns
