beyond superb, the very 1st live band i saw supporting the Stranglers glasgow apollo, jj took off his bass and ragdolled a bouncer, those were the days

That works!

AHOY! AHOY!
Same enemy
👍

We showed them Russians back then. "Want some?!" "You betta have a sh*t load of ammo!"
And they did.
And on a more present theme, this is pretty much what an up to date British army would be able to afford against the Russians these days.
Minus the riders.
"Oh, I've gotta a lovely bunch of coconuts..."
Merry old England.

Sadly the movie does a huge discredit to many of the people involved. Not the generals but many of the other players, portraying them as fools, braindead sluts, you name it.

The Victoria cross medal is made from the bronze of a captured Russian canon, taken during the Crimean war.

And today islam taking over UK and no resistance.

Still a great song in 2025

Very proud Englishman

The most incomprehensible song since The Kingsnen's "Louise, Louise."
"Ahoy! Ahoy! Lamb see the sky!
Ahoy! Ahoy! Barmy and sober!"

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥bangin video

Great tune

"C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre." ("It is magnificent, but it is not war.")

Had the record....that dates me....Still A Great Tune !

Used to listen to this on the radio at home, never knew the words apart from "into the valley". Thanks for adding the subs, now I know what the song is about. Should pay attention to the lyrics more often.

Sergeant Frederick Peek 13th light dragoons who took part lived in the town I was born. His buried in the local cemetery. Died around 1908. His grave is very impressive.

The charge of the light brigade in Crimea was a mistaken order . The order by Lord Cardigan was to attack the left flank only not a full frontal attack which is suicidal . When the attack finished they had dislodged the Russian artillery. The battle of Crimea was to defeat Peter the great of Russia. The French, British and Turks all fought together to beat Russia, There is war cemetery still in crimea with many British troops laid to rest there . Also nurse Nightingale changed how the injured were treated in crimea and this was carried-out with reforms in the british military saving thousands of lifes in year to come.

My childhood.

Nice try but the AI inspired lyrics are garbled garbage "A victory tombstone " was never mentioned

Prefer the Maxell advert

SStarmer wants to recreate history. The dog won't send his own son.

Amazingly enough starmer planning part 2 as we speak.

From my home town.

Tattooed their group on my arm when I was 16😮😮😮😮

Into the valley peas taste divine? WTF.....

All this history betrayed by a pack of beta weemen and unhinged leftist women in british government that opened the gates, let the hoards in and now brnd knee and kiss their arses. The current P. M. IS A TOTALITARIAN POS. From a brit that lives in America.

just remember the idiots of the establishment still exist the ones that ordered an act of total stupidity would do it again as they have done just as long as its not them doing it . imagine trying to ride down artillery on a horse with a daft sword .

Jobbo's singing can't keep up w/ his lyrics.

"C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre"

I don’t think these idiots could find Crimea on a map.
The coalition successfully stopped Tsarist expansion into Istanbul and kept the Straits out of Russian hands.
It was a success.

The uniforms are not accurate for the brigade.
I was a Trooper in one of the antecedent regiments.
We still have a table from the officers mess which was used by the surgeons and struck by a Russian ball at some stage.
Captain Nolan was one of ours.
Mente et Manu

Rip stu.......

When Britain was great 😢....Great vid and great tune !

And Harry Flashman said “Fuck this for a game of soldiers, where’s the exit?”

Bought this single when I was a teen cos I really liked it. Great to learn what it's actually about as I could never decipher all the lyrics. If I remember rightly, a live version of TV Stars was the on the b side

Death or Glory

Saw them at the Cowdenbeath YMCA long before they got record deal and I delivered mild to the original drummer Tam Adamson, met Ricky Jobson a few times rhe. Saw Big Country a few times as well

Class film and very real.

Bravo!

epic song of an epic folly, many thanks for this masterpiece

Should have been the trooper by maiden

Genius

The song is idiotic.

Excellent! The film has its detractors, but this must be the most moving cavalry charge on film, perfectly matched here to the track by the inimitable Skids.

A great little film. Top acting and action.

seeing them tonight ! excited as heck

Death or glory boys.

brilliant love this song.the skids were fantastic. still love them.
