From an old American soldier, God bless you all. You honor all soldiers with your music.

From an Argentine Soldier my most pure and sincere congratulations for this epic version of such a great Mark Knppfler's song... 😢

[silencecn]

Being French I can certainly not have the cultural background of a native English man ( or woman).... but this song speaks to me. And much more than a lot.
This album has a very special meaning for me, for it's related to a peculiar period of my life. A very, very sad one.
This song was the apex of the LP... I cried a lot at when listening to it.
Even today I still can't listent to it without gossebumps (at the minimum).
This version is very, very good for it is played and sung with guts... Love it.

I wasn’t a Marine, but a U.S. Army Sgt. 1970-76 and a rifle instructor. There is not a year goes by, but that I reflect on the terrified faces of the young recruits preparing to go to war in Vietnam. Then I wonder how many of those faces never came home alive, and could I have trained them better?….and yes, I too have my dreams and moments at night !

This woman sings with the heart on her shoulder... such an amazing voice

[stevenloon]

The singer and the guitarist is spot-on with the delivery of this song. Salute to each and everyone of the members of the HM Royal Marines. To all those who had fallen, may you rest in peace.

[craignott]

Bloody outstanding Sarge and CPL, I'm an Aussie Veteran, got a bit of dust in my eye, didn't cry, just dust in the eyes 🙌

[thenightraven]

The worse thing here is you can't smash that like button enough. To the whole cast, that was amazing. I fine tribute to all our fallen comrades.

[glennlewman]

I cannot imagine the honor felt by the lead gutarist as he played this song. The pain, the glory, the heartbreak, the gratitude. Thank you so very much

[KOBAColo]

As a decorated US, Vietnam combat veteran I have always loved this song since the first time I heard it in the 1980s. When I heard of the Falkland war in 1982, my first thought was of those 'Brothers in Arms' I had lost so many years ago.
Then I cried thinking of those valiant men of HM Royal Service experiencing the same things a decade later. The Bands of HM Royal Marines have provided us with an outstanding rendition of this ‘classic’ remembrance song, arguably as good as “I Vow to Thee My Country”.
Thank you for this memorable and moving rendition. A truly remarkable performance of this heartfelt song.
God bless and may the Queen's soul rest in peace.

[john-lzbc]

As an ex Royal Navy matelot who lost brothers in arms and close friends in '82 this song will always hold a very special place in my heart, , bless you all

[campbondsteel]

As a Former Swiss NATO/KFOR Soldier ( 2004 - 2006), i have Goosebumps and Tears in my Eyes when i see and hear this Clip :( . I served a first mission, came home, my Family and my Friends thought, all is okay with me. But it wasn`t. I had to fought with my demons alone. They didn`t understand, why i made a second mission. The answer is very simple. Civilian life was hell for me. This song represends for me all that, what i was going trough.

[doniekeyesmusic]

What a singer! And the guitarist.. the pressure must have been immense to get this right..both are very exposed but absolutely nailed it. Love it.

[DV]

over 50 years ago i walked through the gates of HMS Raleigh still my brothers in arms rest in peace those brave men who now sleep in those cold south atlantic waters never forgotten always you will rememberd

[jpboucher]

I'm a french air force veteran, and my daughter is now a NCO in the french air force, and this song makes think that the link has not been broken. We are all members of this chain, whatever have been our uniforms, our brotherhood is bigger than anything else. Long live the Royal Marines.

[Feynmansmentor]

This has to be the most British thing I ever the dichotomy of elite forces playing such beautiful music

[davidbush]

Anyone can talk the talk, but it takes a special breed of men and women who are actually willing to stand up for their country and fight what they believe in no matter what it costs, and for that I want to say thank you for your time and service.
