Queen's Own Highlanders - The March of the Cameron Men

The Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons), officially abbreviated "QO HLDRS," was an infantry regiment in the Scottish Division of the British Army. It was formed on 7 February 1961 at Redford Barracks, Edinburgh, with the amalgamation of 1st Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders and 1st Battalion, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. Due to the Options for Change defence review, however, 1st Battalion, Queen's Own Highlanders was further amalgamated with 1st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders on 17 September 1994 to form 1st Battalion, The Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons).

The favorite of a certain Mad British Commando.

Jack Churchill was second in command of No. 3 Commando in Operation Archery, a raid on the German garrison at Vågsøy, Norway on 27 December 1941. As the ramps fell on the first landing craft, Churchill leapt forward from his position playing "March of the Cameron Men" on his bagpipes, before throwing a grenade and running into battle in the bay. For his actions at Dunkirk and Vågsøy, Churchill received the Military Cross and Bar.

As an American, this still brings tears to my eye's thinking of that man playing this.. Just to run into battle with a sword and a bow. Thank you Mad Jack!

This is the official anthem of the Madlads

"If it wasn't for those damn interfering yanks we could have kept the war going another 10 years" this is what mad lad captain mad Jack Churchill was quoted in saying after arriving in Burma ready to fight the Japanese only to find out the US had dropped the A bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a few days prior absolute definition of mad lad

[ebinecksdee]

When you’re a German soldier occupying Norway and you hear this.

WHY does Scotland produce some of the most badass and unreal war heroes in history?

Thomas Cochrane
And these pipers

"You mean he isn't Winston's cousin?"
"No, he's a Scottish Churchill. You didn't think there'd be a kirk on a hill somewhere in Scotland?"

POV : You're a German soldier and that lone British officer suddenly brandish a sword and grows triple health bar

[DW_Death]

I can see it now, Mad Jack, storming up a hill, his pipes blaring as loud as can be while men all around him shoot at the enemy...

Nazis invade:
Mad jack: *You dare oppose me mortal!*

[ResoundGuy]

Jack Churchill needs to have a film about him!

Cameron clan has now claimed this comment section we are the best

[kiwikiwi]

Sad the Cameron’s and Sea Forths got merged into the queens own. What’s even worse is that now they’ve all been merged into the royal regiment of Scotland. Ripping apart the heritage piece by piece

This is what I like to call “Scottish Metal”!

[hiramabiff]

As an Englishman I would have the blood pipes playing every inspirational Scottish tune as our Island people moved on all parliament's and restored order to our ancient and sacred Isle. Our DNA is to enwoven to be un-united. We are all brothers/sisters/cousins, regardless of personal feelings.
