This is absolutely incredible! The Special Relationship between The United States and the United Kingdom is 100% REAL and as strong as ever. Soldiers from 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland have taken part in the funeral of 13 soldiers killed in a battle during the American revolutionary war in South Carolina nearly 250 years ago. Their remains were discovered by archaeologists last year at the site of the Battle of Camden in South Carolina. One of the soldiers was from the British 71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders, a Scottish regiment formed for the Revolutionary War. This shows such honor, respect and love for and from both Countries. It is truly a sight to see and left us with an even bigger mark of admiration on our hearts! Thank you SO much for watching!

Remember, the British were being Loyal to their King, & saw the others as rebels. The US soldiers were fighting for a new patriotism, based on British principals of freedom. Both were right, & both were wrong. It was an unfortunate breakdown in understanding. Now again friends & allies forever. Peace & Love.
Very true. The US soldiers were fighting for their freedom from foreign control. The British solders were fighting because they were told to. It was their duty. I don't think our British soldiers cared if the US gained independence or not. They were sacrificed for Political reasons. Yes they did their duty, but not for belief.
Let's not forget nearly 25,000 Americans fought for the British as loyalist troops,and after the war 100,000 left the colonies.Also controversial for the current USA many escaped slaves fought as soldiers on the British side,not throwing shade here just showing how history tends to get written by the winners of a conflict,and narratives are very rarely black and white.
@@grimreaper-qh2zn They didn't see it as 'foreign control' - the Founding Fathers were fighting for their Rights as Englishmen as they saw it; plenty of the British soldiers had opinions too, the work of Don Hagist (an American) has been great on this
The British were fighting yo keep a Colony. The Americans were fighting for big business that didn't want to pay tax to a non present King. That way they for ex their own bank, used the word Federal and the rest is history.
@@sutty85 Aussie combat vet no one asked you to reply if you don’t like it then ignore it but as a combat veteran l believe all warriors will come together in Valhalla ,& you’re welcome for ALL veterans giving you the freedom you enjoy
@@sndrka12 Aussie combat vet On this important day of remembrance please don’t thank me,l’m nothing special compared to the veterans of 80yrs ago🇦🇺🏴🇺🇸
As an Australian, I realise that this battle occurred in a time before the first Europeans arrived here, and yet I get the emotion. Every year on ANZAC day I watch the Gallipoli dawn service. During this, an army officer from Turkey (the ANZAC’s adversaries of WW1) reads a quote in Turkish and then in English from a letter that modern Turkey’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. He sent this letter to the mothers of ANZACs who died there. I pray that we can one day reach a time that we can think like this before going to war. "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."
@@margaretbinnie6600 Sadly so. they were different times back then, in pretty much every way, but still, when I and my Wife were at Gallipoli, She, first in 2002, then both of us in 2003/2004, we of course observed and found significant aspects of the commemorations each 25 April that is never mentioned in the Australian press, to their miserable and everlasting shame, and it is this. I know of no other nations, where here, at Gallipoli, the young of our three Nations, Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand, come together, meet, mix, and as I clearly saw, keep alive and affirm their bonds, both to their own Nations, and most uniquely, to each other. Despite what is dishonestly said, and NOT said, about the Young people of those three nations, particuIarly the Press and media. I saw future history being made each time I saw them gathering, mixing, animatedly gesturing and talking, laughing as they mixed. I saw true Friendship started on those former battlefields, may it ever thus be so and continue. One last point. When the time for ceremony and rememberance arrived, we saw nothing but the utmost complete, genuine Respect, acknowledgement and observance by these same young people, which of course, none of the press made mention of.
I'm an ex member of the British armed forces I have many times worked with the US marines a fantastic bunch of lads who we have such respect and regards for..an American marine once said to me .damn you guys can in the middle of a battle stop to make a cup of tea and chat and throw joke obscenities to each other..
I always think of Britain as the parent, the US as a bratty teenager who wanted to do things their own way and then eventually the reconciliation and a warm relationship in maturity
Saw the Forces TV video the other day, so moving. Even during the Revolutionary War there were strong ties between us, Britain was divided between support and opposition, and the likes of Thomas Paine, the most vocal advocate for independence, was of course born and lived in Britain until 1774. In Parliament at the start of the Stamp Act Riots, former Prime Minister William Pitt said in Parliament that he “delighted that the Americans had resisted.” Similarly John Adams and Thomas Jefferson visited Worcester in England (in the 1790s) where the first and last battles of our Civil Wars were fought and declared it “sacred ground where Liberty had been fought for”. And of course there is a statue of George Washington in Trafalgar Square in the heart of London. Thank you for the respect and admiration you always show, we feel the same way about our cousins across the Atlantic 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
My Dad was in the RAF during the 2nd world war, My Sister was in the Army and i was in the Royal Navy. We were all volunteers. I think that a point that is often over looked is that unlike the US volunteers who were fighting for their homes most British soldiers at the time were fighting for food. Sad but true. Rip to the Fallen. Never forgotten.
I am from London, England. My best mate Married an American woman over 20 years ago. He signed up and became an Officer in the US Army Rangers. I’m very proud of what he did and look at him as a Brit in an American uniform as a symbol of our bond. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ❤
An ancestor of mine joined the British Army (27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of foot) in 1775 and headed out across the Atlantic. He survived the experience and served for a further 40 years, retiring from the Army in the same year as the battle of Waterloo. I’m sure he would be glad that we’re friends again.
Hi Ladies I love ❤️ all your videos your raw & honest & your video had me in tears also , I am from 🏴 & a proud Brit 🇬🇧 there is a lot of hate out there for the Uk & USA armed forces it really angers me but alas what can we do ..? Better to just ignore them like the cockroaches they are anyway just wanted to say hi & thanks for all the great content 🇺🇸 🏴🇬🇧
I remember that in Alistair Cooke’s 13-part series ‘America’ he showed a grave of soldiers of that war with British soldiers in it reading something like ‘In life our enemies, in death our guests’.
I’m not a very big military person, but I have family members who served in WWI and WWII in the Australian Army. My great-grandmother would wash uniforms for the US Navy stationed in Brisbane during WWII. I have a deep respect for those who serve and their families. Theirs is the greatest sacrifice.
Thank you for sharing this , it’s touched my heart , l am full of pride, love and gratitude to these and all fallen Service personnel . History can teach us and show us a way to unite . Also thank you Natasha and Debbie for our special relationship with you 🇬🇧❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

I don't think there are two closer countries anywhere else on the planet as there is between the USA and Uk. I adore you guys for your support to the UK 🇬🇧 and appetite to learn more about the Uk. It's an honour to have you guys in my life. Have a great weekend ,and I hope you enjoy the coronation. ❤
Morning folks. Wow you are both amazing. Seeing Debbie subconsciously place her hand on her heart was incredible, you both show such respect for our nations, and the men and women through history that have sacrificed to ensure the freedoms we often take for granted. I can only speak for me, but I love you both, and have so much love and respect for America and her people. The only thing damaging our relationship, is our silly governments playing childish games, but the people, the public and our militaries KNOW, we stand shoulder to shoulder against the tyrannies of this world. ❤❤
That speech at the beginning was so moving by the American and the British lady also nailed it, on how deep our 2 countries really feel about each other RIEP 😢❤
This was very moving to see. I know some of my highlander ancestors served with the 71st Regt of Foot. I have strong connections with the military - my father and husband served 22 and 38 years respectively and tomorrow, watching the Coronation I will be thinking about my hubbie’s Grandfather who was a King’s Guard during the reign of George V and looked magnificent on horseback. Love you guys 🇬🇧❤
Absolutely incredible. It brought a tear to my eye and I don`t mind admitting it. Our two countries have come so far since those days and the love and respect we have for each other will only grow and blossom further as we progress together. God Bless you both ladies and thank you 💞💞
As a Brit, I have visited the US a few times, and nowhere else in the world, have I been treated with such a degree of respect and kinship from the ordinary American on the street. As friends on personal levels and as political allies, we are simply formidable.
Soldiers are Soldiers not politicians and I think it is important to respect the dead that fought regardless of which side, almost makes war humane if we can at least stop and think what we fought for and why , lessons learned ... our enemies these days are dastardly ... no rules these days sadly ... great that the USA can be so respectful ....there have been many similar services in France and the Low Countries.... all people fighting for a cause ... misplaced or not
This is so emotional to watch; we have gone on and became great friends. I really enjoy your show; it's so informative. Keep up the good work. From a Cornwall England.
Did a dive into my family tree and found out one of my relatives fought for the Brits in the war of independence. He lost an eye but made it back luckily.
I viewed this on Forces News aweek or so agp, I knew thia would lans in your laps, and that it would bring a lump to your throats. Many do not realise that almost 250yrs ago they fought in a civil war, they were brothers then, they are brothers now and will be for evre more!
Hi girls, some insights into the special relationship, the USS Winston S Churchill, DG 81, always flies the Stars & Stripes and the Royal Navy White Ensign whilst underway, and the navigation officer is always Royal Navy. On the First deployment of HMS Queen Elizabeth there were 2 F35 squadrons aboard, one was the famous RAF 617sqd forever known as "the Dambusters", the other was a US Marine Corp Squadron. On a personal note, my father, an RAF pilot, was awarded the American DFC in 1944.
This is the second time I have watched a video about this. Prior .. it was a shortened version. What I find amazing is that I live in Lugoff, SC .. literally five miles from Camden proper .. and only two miles from the city limits. My town is what is an unincorporated community and "Census-designated place". I need to get out more ... as I had no idea this had happened. I have been to the battlefield several times and fully intend to visit the cemetery when completed. On a side note, after Desert Storm I was visiting Connecticut with my tank commander and we visited a town that had a main road though the center of the town that split around a small cemetery containing British soldiers .. a squad I believe .. that were honored there. It struck me at the time that this simple act of preserving the little cemetery in the center of the town was a very special thing.
It has always been Armed Forces policy that the British are buried where they fell. This was solidified during WWI as it would have been impossible to bring back all the bodies. Thus the CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) was formed. They look after all the British and Commonwealth Cemeteries around the world. In this case it would make sense that he be buried there as where would his body go to as we have no Armed Forces Cemetery in the country.
I commend you both for showing this video. This clearly shows the bond, deep bond we have as allies, friends and cousins. This is somewhat very apt for the premise of your channel well done. God save America 🇺🇸 God save the king 🇬🇧 ❤
Of course you know the USA matters to the UK as do our cousins across the Commonwealth. We share more values with the US and Commonwealth nations than any others. Personally, having listened to the wartime generation, I know how incredibly greatful the people of the UK were for the help and participation of the US in both world wars and the aftermath. Despite having fought against each other in the past, its the fights and battles that we have fought together that have created a free and prosperous world and that have had the greatest impact on life today. God Save the King and God Bless America
Natasha, its a tradition in the British forces, that if someone is killed on service overseas they are buried on or near the battlefield. On the same theme, I would recommend you look up the American military cemetery in Cambridge, UK. Best wishes to you both from Wales.
@@CeleWolf Until recently with aircraft and refrigeration, it would be impossible to repatriate all but the most important bodies due to decomposition and the time taken. Admiral Nelson had to be brought from Gibraltar in a cask of spirits; holes were drilled in it and liquids drained. The number of bodies in battle would make it impossible too; El Alamein saw around 13500 Allied servicemen either killed, missing, injured or captured. It's much the same with going down with your ship.
I am looking forward to watching you on Sunday...watching the Coronation 😀 So happy with those people who went to the trouble of sending you all the gorgeous Fortnum & Mason items, taking note of all those you particularly admired; love them for doing that 💛 (the F&M colour-palette is so pretty and I enjoyed that good browse through the department. I am hoping you might watch another Hannah Ricketts London video, as she is very natural and engaging....I had not seen her before)
Best video you've ever posted...it was simple, but so respectful, wish I'd been there to witness it, glad to see they're all buried together , they're looking down now as mates ❤❤
What a fitting coincidence that the British Consulate representative also bears a Scottish surname. Couldn't help noticing as it was my maiden name! I'm English and my paternal granparents passed on a connection with two different Scottish clans. Of course our Scottish cousins aren't always best pleased with their English kin but I still hold a soft spot in my heart for them, likewise our Amercian friends despite our shall we say past rift! 🥰
My father was a proud Scot from Kilmarnock a Royal Engineer who fought throughout the second world war in Egypt, Italy along side American forces who landed at Anzio, into France, up through Belgium and into Germany. He would not ever talk about what happened to him and refused all his medals. Only once did he tell me of an operation where he was defended by Marines against sniper attack whilst he de-mined a bridge into Germany. At the end of his life I claimed his medals on his behalf and have now passed them onto my son and into the family history. Thank you for showing this video and thank you U.S.A for the honour you gave a comrade Scot and the United Kingdom as a whole. We know both sides of the water how important our two countries are to each other and to the stability around the world we help to create. God save our King and country and God save America. Thank you ladies.
This was heart warming and to think how strong we are together , the armed forces are incredable what a friendship we have now and alway,s xxx i have seen the usa cemetery in cambridge in uk its truely a wonderful place which you should checkout xx ❤❤❤
This is a wonderful and Patriotic sign of respect to the fallen. When I see this, it brings to mind the words of Jamal Attaturk, 1n 1928, to the mothers of the British and Australian troops whom were lost at Gallipoli, Suvla Bay (and surrounds) and remain buried, or have no known grave, due to that conflict on that sovereign soil. All soldiers whom have fallen irrespective of their cause, deserve to be buried with dignity, They have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their respective countries and it is our duty I feel, to see this occur.
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
The United Kingdom and the United States of America are like siblings. They constantly poke fun at each other,the Brits more harshly because we’re built that way 😂😂 but when anybody else picks on the other one we join forces and go after them! People can poke fun at us and say we don’t have this strong bond between our two countries, but when the crap hits the fan, America knows the United Kingdom has their back and the United Kingdom knows the United States of America has our back!!
That reminds me so much of the reburial of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral. So much work was put into tracing his ancestors and including Plantagenet family members (Benedict Cumberbatch was a relation!) in the service. They used a lot of the military honours of the time to honour a King who was lost for so long.
To Natasha and Debbie. I have been watching your show for many months and have been very impressed with your love of the UK and the special relationship that exists between the USA and the UK. As a UK citizen (I was born in Scotland), I am very proud of my heritage and of our armed forces. In my lifetime I have visited many, many countries and seen many different cultures. However, the special relationship between our two countries is the one that makes me most proud. I have been to the USA many times and have to say the warmth of genuine welcomes from US citizens is one that I cherish. There may be a lot wrong with our countries but we, along with our other cherished allies in Europe and around th globe, have given us safety and security in a world that is on a knife edge. Long may this continue. Thank you for your reaction videos, but you live in a beautiful country as well. Please do some on your own wonderful country. The USA and the UK are said to be cousins. No. We are brothers and sisters. Please visit the UK soon and shake hands and embrace us as eternal friends.
Please watch the Cambridge American Cemetery here in the UK. I agree there is a special relationship between our countries, you are the children of the UK, our cousins and our friends. Love from Yorkshire,
Ladies the tears are flowing down my face what a tribute for theses fallen soldiers ..also what a speech from people ...May this bond between our two countries live forever.🇬🇧🇺🇲x
From me (in the UK) to you ❤️. The only thing for me that separates us, is a huge body of water. Apart from that we are 1. Hugs to you both and much much love ❤❤❤❤
Every time I watch your videos, ladies, I am reminded that whatever individual politicians or other public figures might sometimes say, the ordinary people of both our countries, and all the others around the world, are brothers and sisters at our core. This particular video provokes the thought that, no matter which side of any conflict we may be on, in the past, in the present or in the future, we remain brothers and sisters and as such we honour every last single brother or sister who gave their future for the sake of our present and future. No matter what uniform they wear or what language they speak, we can all learn a valuable lesson from them. Namely, that if we truly want to honour their sacrifice, we should all work together to make war unnecessary and a subject that, in future, will only exist in history books. RIP gentlemen. May all your gallant souls rest in peace.
My British roots go way back to 1066 I'm proud to be British proud to be English and proud of my military past and present and especially proud of our special relationship with the United States we fought against eachother and died alongside eachother we have been through so much to bring peace to the world 🇬🇧🇺🇸
There absolutely is a mutual respect between the two nations and although our relationship may waver a little according to the politics of the day, there will always be the greatest love between British and American comrades in arms as they have fought as allies and friends in many fields of conflict including the two world wars. Just as both nations were given the opportunity on this occasion, to show respect for our long-deceased warriors, so we try to do the same. A handul of years ago an old gentleman in UK was spotted keeping tidy a memorial to WW2 American pilots who had died while crashing their plane in a park when it was returning to the country after a sortie over Nazi Germany. He felt responsible as he'd been a boy, playing in that park when the incident occurred and blamed himself, thinking they had brought the plane down where it would cause him and his friends, least harm. As a result the men concerned were given a fly-past by the Royal Air Force which was televised. And quite right too, and long may this warm relationship endure.
Thank-you ladies for showing your compassion and respect to our country, all to often I see other American youtubers disrespecting our traditions and culture moching us and our Royal family , love you guys from the bottom of my heart ❤❤
The British forces tend to bury their fallen in the country where they were killed in action, with military cemeteries all over the empire. I presume that it was not possible to bring bodies home in the time of sail. Admiral Nelson’s body, for instance, was one of the exceptions, because his body was preserved in a barrel of brandy in order to transport home. The Commonwealth Graves Commission are responsible for all these military cemeteries across the globe.
I think it was the Earl of Chatham who said, in Parliament, “You cannot but admire their cause, and wish to make it your own” regarding the Americans during the revolution.
I don't Know what happened to my comment but ill re add this To honour Canberra, the US Navy commissioned the Baltimore Class heavy cruiser, USS Canberra in 1943, the only US Navy ship thus far to be named for a foreign capital. In February 2018, continuing the tradition of honouring HMAS Canberra (I), the President of the United States of America announced that a future Independence class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS 30), will be the second US Navy ship to carry the name USS Canberra. as a RAN Vet i hope this stays up
Lovely video ladies. Thank you from across the pond. I was so pleased to see the reactions from the local people but having many US friends I am not surprised. As people we are much closer than many others imagine. As a point of interest, fallen British servicemen & women, over the years, tend to be buried where they have died with their comrades, rather than being transported home. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is the UK body that manages these cemeteries on behalf of our Commonwealth allies (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and many other nations) around the world and their distinctive cemeteries have always been visited with pride. The Great War battlefields of France and Belgium are covered with these cemeteries, their distinctive, poignant white headstones showing up with dignity, pride and sadness across the landscape of the old battlefields. I wonder if the CWGC will be involved with the new cemetery being prepared in Camden? Maybe that's something you ladies could look into? Thanks again for your heartfelt responses - very moving.
We have to recognise however, that the UK whilst historically an important country, is only the size of Oregon, with a population of 70 million. The U.S is vastly larger and more powerful and has been since Britain rescinded it's empire after World War II. The "special relationship" is far more important to the UK than it is to the US. The biggest problem facing both nations is from within. Leftism and woke agitation by emotionally disturbed children, is a far greater threat than any foreign enemy. Walk the streets of New York, San Fransisco, LA, London or Liverpool and you will see for yourself.
My grandfather is one of the graveless of the first world war I thank America for treating another Scottish with such honour and dignity. I may not see it but this gives me hope that one day someone might give my papa an honourable grave. My mother never got a chance to know her father since he was killed four months before she was born. From the day gran was told he was missing in action till her own death on the 5th May 1960 she kept a lamp burning in the window every night
What a beautiful couple you are, inside and out 😊. It's great to see people trying to understand other cultures and other countries traditions... it should happen more often.
America means a great deal to The United Kingdom...yes there are those who don’t agree ..they are free to do so .. the Special Relationship between the USA and the UK enabled us to fight together on many occasions for their democratic right and freedom to disagree ... ..🇬🇧🇺🇸....Also remember you don’t have to agree on everything to have a special relationship 🙂❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
I genuinely believe the UK and USA to be the only two countries in the world that have gone from being enemies to friends with zero animosity. Other countries seem to hold grudges going back centuries, but us two don't. I do wonder if it was the circumstances of the revolution? The American colonists believed they were upholding British law, and many in Britain at the time agreed with them on this. No tax without Parliamentary representation is a key part of old English/British law. In America it seems that their beef was always with the British government/George III, not Britain itself. The American revolution really was a disagreement between two very grown up peoples
If there’s any American who doubts our friendship and loyalty to your great country, shake your head, we believe there are no other two country as loyal to each other in the globe. I’m ex forces and would be willing to die if it meant helping out you great people. Love and respect you all.
What a wonderful video. I am a British Army veteran who has worked with the US Army & USMC on a number of occasions & made some good friends along the way, many of which I still keep in contact with. God bless America. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
You do matter and always will matter to Britain. You’re like a child we gave birth to, nurtured, raised and like all children rebelled and finally flew the nest. To become a fine, strong, upstanding adult. We are proud of and will defend, no matter the odds. No matter the cost. No matter what Imbecile politician governs our 2 great nations. You can count on one thing having served with American cousins. The British forces will always have your back and be the first to join you shoulder to shoulder to fight, and die if necessary to defend the values of the anglosphere. That was paid for in love, blood and battle.
This is absolutely incredible! The Special Relationship between The United States and the United Kingdom is 100% REAL and as strong as ever. Soldiers from 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland have taken part in the funeral of 13 soldiers killed in a battle during the American revolutionary war in South Carolina nearly 250 years ago. Their remains were discovered by archaeologists last year at the site of the Battle of Camden in South Carolina. One of the soldiers was from the British 71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders, a Scottish regiment formed for the Revolutionary War.

Remember, the British were being Loyal to their King, & saw the others as rebels. The US soldiers were fighting for a new patriotism, based on British principals of freedom.

As an Australian, I realise that this battle occurred in a time before the first Europeans arrived here, and yet I get the emotion. Every year on ANZAC day I watch the Gallipoli dawn service. During this, an army officer from Turkey (the ANZAC’s adversaries of WW1) reads a quote in Turkish and then in English from a letter that modern Turkey’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. He sent this letter to the mothers of ANZACs who died there. I pray that we can one day reach a time that we can think like this before going to war.

I cry every time. Unfortunately the President of Turkey today is not as wonderful as Ataturk.
@@margaretbinnie6600 Sadly so. they were different times back then, in pretty much every way, but still, when I and my Wife were at Gallipoli, She, first in 2002, then both of us in 2003/2004, we of course observed and found significant aspects of the commemorations each 25 April that is never mentioned in the Australian press, to their miserable and everlasting shame, and it is this. I know of no other nations, where here, at Gallipoli, the young of our three Nations, Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand, come together, meet, mix, and as I clearly saw, keep alive and affirm their bonds, both to their own Nations, and most uniquely, to each other. Despite what is dishonestly said, and NOT said, about the Young people of those three nations, particuIarly the Press and media. I saw future history being made each time I saw them gathering, mixing, animatedly gesturing and talking, laughing as they mixed. I saw true Friendship started on those former battlefields, may it ever thus be so and continue. One last point. When the time for ceremony and rememberance arrived, we saw nothing but the utmost complete, genuine Respect, acknowledgement and observance by these same young people, which of course, none of the press made mention of.
@@Timbo_0I'm a Kiwi, 5 out of the 6 members of my Mother's family were killed there, only my Grandfather who joined at only 16 survived.
I'm an ex member of the British armed forces I have many times worked with the US marines a fantastic bunch of lads who we have such respect and regards for..an American marine once said to me .damn you guys can in the middle of a battle stop to make a cup of tea and chat and throw joke obscenities to each other..
Love that and can just see that happening....
Thank you for your service, love from Scotland
Heartwarming a wonderfully special relationship! A incredible bond love it. and respect it ! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Bless you Peter
I always think of Britain as the parent, the US as a bratty teenager who wanted to do things their own way and then eventually the reconciliation and a warm relationship in maturity
Saw the Forces TV video the other day, so moving. Even during the Revolutionary War there were strong ties between us, Britain was divided between support and opposition, and the likes of Thomas Paine, the most vocal advocate for independence, was of course born and lived in Britain until 1774. In Parliament at the start of the Stamp Act Riots, former Prime Minister William Pitt said in Parliament that he “delighted that the Americans had resisted.” Similarly John Adams and Thomas Jefferson visited Worcester in England (in the 1790s) where the first and last battles of our Civil Wars were fought and declared it “sacred ground where Liberty had been fought for”. And of course there is a statue of George Washington in Trafalgar Square in the heart of London. Thank you for the respect and admiration you always show, we feel the same way about our cousins across the Atlantic 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Well said!
My Dad was in the RAF during the 2nd world war, My Sister was in the Army and i was in the Royal Navy. We were all volunteers. I think that a point that is often over looked is that unlike the US volunteers who were fighting for their homes most British soldiers at the time were fighting for food. Sad but true. Rip to the Fallen. Never forgotten.
If only the rest of the world got on as well as we do what a world it would be 🇬🇧💗🇺🇲
As a great poet once said..All you need is love, da da da da daaa
I am from London, England. My best mate Married an American woman over 20 years ago. He signed up and became an Officer in the US Army Rangers. I’m very proud of what he did and look at him as a Brit in an American uniform as a symbol of our bond. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 ❤
An ancestor of mine joined the British Army (27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of foot) in 1775 and headed out across the Atlantic. He survived the experience and served for a further 40 years, retiring from the Army in the same year as the battle of Waterloo. I’m sure he would be glad that we’re friends again.
Hi Ladies I love ❤️ all your videos your raw & honest & your video had me in tears also , I am from 🏴 & a proud Brit 🇬🇧 there is a lot of hate out there for the Uk & USA armed forces it really angers me but alas what can we do ..? Better to just ignore them like the cockroaches they are anyway just wanted to say hi & thanks for all the great content 🇺🇸 🏴🇬🇧
I remember that in Alistair Cooke’s 13-part series ‘America’ he showed a grave of soldiers of that war with British soldiers in it reading something like ‘In life our enemies, in death our guests’.
I’m not a very big military person, but I have family members who served in WWI and WWII in the Australian Army. My great-grandmother would wash uniforms for the US Navy stationed in Brisbane during WWII. I have a deep respect for those who serve and their families. Theirs is the greatest sacrifice.
Lest we forget.
Thank you for sharing this , it’s touched my heart , l am full of pride, love and gratitude to these and all fallen Service personnel . History can teach us and show us a way to unite . Also thank you Natasha and Debbie for our special relationship with you 🇬🇧❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

hit the nail on the head 🥰
ladies you should let the tears flow I do and I'm a 75 year old chief from the Royal Navy
Wow! Thank YOU for your service! 🫡 ♥️
Thank you, South Carolina, for including our British dead in this ceremony, and for according them the same honour that you did to your own.
I don't think there are two closer countries anywhere else on the planet as there is between the USA and Uk.
I adore you guys for your support to the UK 🇬🇧 and appetite to learn more about the Uk.
It's an honour to have you guys in my life.
Have a great weekend ,and I hope you enjoy the coronation. ❤
Crying with you ladies. I had to go back and watch it again. Thank God we are allies and give each other strength. That was a wonderful tribute. ❤
Morning folks. Wow you are both amazing. Seeing Debbie subconsciously place her hand on her heart was incredible, you both show such respect for our nations, and the men and women through history that have sacrificed to ensure the freedoms we often take for granted.
I can only speak for me, but I love you both, and have so much love and respect for America and her people.
The only thing damaging our relationship, is our silly governments playing childish games, but the people, the public and our militaries KNOW, we stand shoulder to shoulder against the tyrannies of this world.
❤❤
I feel so proud these men have got the send off they deserved ❤🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴
That speech at the beginning was so moving by the American and the British lady also nailed it, on how deep our 2 countries really feel about each other RIEP 😢❤
This was very moving to see. I know some of my highlander ancestors served with the 71st Regt of Foot. I have strong connections with the military - my father and husband served 22 and 38 years respectively and tomorrow, watching the Coronation I will be thinking about my hubbie’s Grandfather who was a King’s Guard during the reign of George V and looked magnificent on horseback. Love you guys 🇬🇧❤
Beautiful video. Thankyou for sharing x🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you for watching ❤
Absolutely incredible. It brought a tear to my eye and I don`t mind admitting it. Our two countries have come so far since those days and the love and respect we have for each other will only grow and blossom further as we progress together. God Bless you both ladies and thank you 💞💞
As a Brit, I have visited the US a few times, and nowhere else in the world, have I been treated with such a degree of respect and kinship from the ordinary American on the street. As friends on personal levels and as political allies, we are simply formidable.
Soldiers are Soldiers not politicians and I think it is important to respect the dead that fought regardless of which side, almost makes war humane if we can at least stop and think what we fought for and why , lessons learned ... our enemies these days are dastardly ... no rules these days sadly ... great that the USA can be so respectful ....there have been many similar services in France and the Low Countries.... all people fighting for a cause ... misplaced or not
Same regarding the fallen Ozzies.Lest we forget.
This is so emotional to watch; we have gone on and became great friends. I really enjoy your show; it's so informative. Keep up the good work.
From a Cornwall England.
Christine, thank you ❤
Did a dive into my family tree and found out one of my relatives fought for the Brits in the war of independence. He lost an eye but made it back luckily.
I'm very happy that the UK and America are strong allies, your reactions says it all .
Not a dry eye in the house!
I viewed this on Forces News aweek or so agp, I knew thia would lans in your laps, and that it would bring a lump to your throats. Many do not realise that almost 250yrs ago they fought in a civil war, they were brothers then, they are brothers now and will be for evre more!
Hi girls, some insights into the special relationship, the USS Winston S Churchill, DG 81, always flies the Stars & Stripes and the Royal Navy White Ensign whilst underway, and the navigation officer is always Royal Navy. On the First deployment of HMS Queen Elizabeth there were 2 F35 squadrons aboard, one was the famous RAF 617sqd forever known as "the Dambusters", the other was a US Marine Corp Squadron. On a personal note, my father, an RAF pilot, was awarded the American DFC in 1944.
On behalf of me America does matter to the United Kingdom and love ❤️ you both.
I am British and my envoy to your country was very special...what ever happens we will always be allies.
Thanks Ladies, certainly a different type of show today, watching and listening to your respectful reactions was a treat indeed. ❤
❤❤
As a UK veteran thank you. Thank you for so beautifully honouring the sacrifice and memory of these boys and men from both sides of that conflict.
This is the second time I have watched a video about this. Prior .. it was a shortened version. What I find amazing is that I live in Lugoff, SC .. literally five miles from Camden proper .. and only two miles from the city limits. My town is what is an unincorporated community and "Census-designated place". I need to get out more ... as I had no idea this had happened. I have been to the battlefield several times and fully intend to visit the cemetery when completed. On a side note, after Desert Storm I was visiting Connecticut with my tank commander and we visited a town that had a main road though the center of the town that split around a small cemetery containing British soldiers .. a squad I believe .. that were honored there. It struck me at the time that this simple act of preserving the little cemetery in the center of the town was a very special thing.
Honour😔
God bless America, God save the King from here in the UK. 🥰
It has always been Armed Forces policy that the British are buried where they fell. This was solidified during WWI as it would have been impossible to bring back all the bodies. Thus the CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) was formed. They look after all the British and Commonwealth Cemeteries around the world. In this case it would make sense that he be buried there as where would his body go to as we have no Armed Forces Cemetery in the country.
Wow no words yet 😢 beautiful. Goosebumps, tears and love.❤
I commend you both for showing this video. This clearly shows the bond, deep bond we have as allies, friends and cousins. This is somewhat very apt for the premise of your channel well done. God save America 🇺🇸 God save the king 🇬🇧 ❤
Hola mujeres hermosas, can't wait to see you react with aunt Linda on Sunday. Big hug from Girona Spain.
Of course you know the USA matters to the UK as do our cousins across the Commonwealth. We share more values with the US and Commonwealth nations than any others. Personally, having listened to the wartime generation, I know how incredibly greatful the people of the UK were for the help and participation of the US in both world wars and the aftermath. Despite having fought against each other in the past, its the fights and battles that we have fought together that have created a free and prosperous world and that have had the greatest impact on life today. God Save the King and God Bless America
Natasha, its a tradition in the British forces, that if someone is killed on service overseas they are buried on or near the battlefield.
On the same theme, I would recommend you look up the American military cemetery in Cambridge, UK.
Best wishes to you both from Wales.
Do we know why? I've always wondered why they are not brought home.
@@CeleWolf Until recently with aircraft and refrigeration, it would be impossible to repatriate all but the most important bodies due to decomposition and the time taken. Admiral Nelson had to be brought from Gibraltar in a cask of spirits; holes were drilled in it and liquids drained. The number of bodies in battle would make it impossible too; El Alamein saw around 13500 Allied servicemen either killed, missing, injured or captured. It's much the same with going down with your ship.
I am looking forward to watching you on Sunday...watching the Coronation 😀 So happy with those people who went to the trouble of sending you all the gorgeous Fortnum & Mason items, taking note of all those you particularly admired; love them for doing that 💛 (the F&M colour-palette is so pretty and I enjoyed that good browse through the department. I am hoping you might watch another Hannah Ricketts London video, as she is very natural and engaging....I had not seen her before)
Gorgeous girls, wonderful video.
Thank you girls. R.I.P to the brave US and UK soldiers.
Best video you've ever posted...it was simple, but so respectful, wish I'd been there to witness it, glad to see they're all buried together , they're looking down now as mates ❤❤
What a fitting coincidence that the British Consulate representative also bears a Scottish surname. Couldn't help noticing as it was my maiden name! I'm English and my paternal granparents passed on a connection with two different Scottish clans. Of course our Scottish cousins aren't always best pleased with their English kin but I still hold a soft spot in my heart for them, likewise our Amercian friends despite our shall we say past rift! 🥰
My father was a proud Scot from Kilmarnock a Royal Engineer who fought throughout the second world war in Egypt, Italy along side American forces who landed at Anzio, into France, up through Belgium and into Germany. He would not ever talk about what happened to him and refused all his medals. Only once did he tell me of an operation where he was defended by Marines against sniper attack whilst he de-mined a bridge into Germany. At the end of his life I claimed his medals on his behalf and have now passed them onto my son and into the family history. Thank you for showing this video and thank you U.S.A for the honour you gave a comrade Scot and the United Kingdom as a whole. We know both sides of the water how important our two countries are to each other and to the stability around the world we help to create. God save our King and country and God save America. Thank you ladies.
This was heart warming and to think how strong we are together , the armed forces are incredable what a friendship we have now and alway,s xxx i have seen the usa cemetery in cambridge in uk its truely a wonderful place which you should checkout xx ❤❤❤
This is a wonderful and Patriotic sign of respect to the fallen. When I see this, it brings to mind the words of Jamal Attaturk, 1n 1928, to the mothers of the British and Australian troops whom were lost at Gallipoli, Suvla Bay (and surrounds) and remain buried, or have no known grave, due to that conflict on that sovereign soil. All soldiers whom have fallen irrespective of their cause, deserve to be buried with dignity, They have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their respective countries and it is our duty I feel, to see this occur.
Very well said!
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Lest we forget..
The United Kingdom and the United States of America are like siblings. They constantly poke fun at each other,the Brits more harshly because we’re built that way 😂😂 but when anybody else picks on the other one we join forces and go after them! People can poke fun at us and say we don’t have this strong bond between our two countries, but when the crap hits the fan, America knows the United Kingdom has their back and the United Kingdom knows the United States of America has our back!!
We are incredibly grateful for the honours show to our servicemen and to be treated exactly the same as the US servicemen is high honour indeed.
Lovely review. The friendship and respect between the UK and USA is unmatched and stronger than ever. ❤ from the 🇬🇧
Absolutely loved this, contains alot of history and i loved the respect shown 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇲
That reminds me so much of the reburial of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral. So much work was put into tracing his ancestors and including Plantagenet family members (Benedict Cumberbatch was a relation!) in the service. They used a lot of the military honours of the time to honour a King who was lost for so long.
God bless United States 🇺🇸 God bless United Kingdom 🇬🇧 we will always be brothers and sisters friendship always ❤
To Natasha and Debbie. I have been watching your show for many months and have been very impressed with your love of the UK and the special relationship that exists between the USA and the UK. As a UK citizen (I was born in Scotland), I am very proud of my heritage and of our armed forces. In my lifetime I have visited many, many countries and seen many different cultures. However, the special relationship between our two countries is the one that makes me most proud. I have been to the USA many times and have to say the warmth of genuine welcomes from US citizens is one that I cherish. There may be a lot wrong with our countries but we, along with our other cherished allies in Europe and around th globe, have given us safety and security in a world that is on a knife edge. Long may this continue. Thank you for your reaction videos, but you live in a beautiful country as well. Please do some on your own wonderful country. The USA and the UK are said to be cousins. No. We are brothers and sisters. Please visit the UK soon and shake hands and embrace us as eternal friends.
Please watch the Cambridge American Cemetery here in the UK. I agree there is a special relationship between our countries, you are the children of the UK, our cousins and our friends. Love from Yorkshire,
Bring him Home ladies. Love you both.
As a Brit, We "DO" have a Special Relationship.!
Love this. Can’t help but feel that the friendship is going to be called upon once more in the coming years. Good will prevail x
Ladies the tears are flowing down my face what a tribute for theses fallen soldiers ..also what a speech from people ...May this bond between our two countries live forever.🇬🇧🇺🇲x
You DO matter ❤
Thank you!
From me (in the UK) to you ❤️. The only thing for me that separates us, is a huge body of water. Apart from that we are 1. Hugs to you both and much much love ❤❤❤❤
Served alongside my American cousins, as my eldest son and daughter still do today. Love and respect from a Brit vet. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲

Thank you.
Every time I watch your videos, ladies, I am reminded that whatever individual politicians or other public figures might sometimes say, the ordinary people of both our countries, and all the others around the world, are brothers and sisters at our core. This particular video provokes the thought that, no matter which side of any conflict we may be on, in the past, in the present or in the future, we remain brothers and sisters and as such we honour every last single brother or sister who gave their future for the sake of our present and future. No matter what uniform they wear or what language they speak, we can all learn a valuable lesson from them. Namely, that if we truly want to honour their sacrifice, we should all work together to make war unnecessary and a subject that, in future, will only exist in history books.
RIP gentlemen. May all your gallant souls rest in peace.
God bless both our counties and our fighting brothers and sisters. United as one.
My British roots go way back to 1066 I'm proud to be British proud to be English and proud of my military past and present and especially proud of our special relationship with the United States we fought against eachother and died alongside eachother we have been through so much to bring peace to the world 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you girls. You're beautiful souls.
There absolutely is a mutual respect between the two nations and although our relationship may waver a little according to the politics of the day, there will always be the greatest love between British and American comrades in arms as they have fought as allies and friends in many fields of conflict including the two world wars. Just as both nations were given the opportunity on this occasion, to show respect for our long-deceased warriors, so we try to do the same. A handul of years ago an old gentleman in UK was spotted keeping tidy a memorial to WW2 American pilots who had died while crashing their plane in a park when it was returning to the country after a sortie over Nazi Germany. He felt responsible as he'd been a boy, playing in that park when the incident occurred and blamed himself, thinking they had brought the plane down where it would cause him and his friends, least harm. As a result the men concerned were given a fly-past by the Royal Air Force which was televised. And quite right too, and long may this warm relationship endure.
Thank-you ladies for showing your compassion and respect to our country, all to often I see other American youtubers disrespecting our traditions and culture moching us and our Royal family , love you guys from the bottom of my heart ❤❤
Wow! This brought tears to my eyes.
The British forces tend to bury their fallen in the country where they were killed in action, with military cemeteries all over the empire. I presume that it was not possible to bring bodies home in the time of sail. Admiral Nelson’s body, for instance, was one of the exceptions, because his body was preserved in a barrel of brandy in order to transport home. The Commonwealth Graves Commission are responsible for all these military cemeteries across the globe.
I think it was the Earl of Chatham who said, in Parliament, “You cannot but admire their cause, and wish to make it your own” regarding the Americans during the revolution.
I've watched many of your videos, and being a military brat, I just can't help loving you two! Love from the UK!
I don't Know what happened to my comment but ill re add this
To honour Canberra, the US Navy commissioned the Baltimore Class heavy cruiser, USS Canberra in 1943, the only US Navy ship thus far to be named for a foreign capital. In February 2018, continuing the tradition of honouring HMAS Canberra (I), the President of the United States of America announced that a future Independence class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS 30), will be the second US Navy ship to carry the name USS Canberra.
as a RAN Vet i hope this stays up
I adore you both and yes uk loves usa all the way .god bless
Lovely video ladies. Thank you from across the pond. I was so pleased to see the reactions from the local people but having many US friends I am not surprised. As people we are much closer than many others imagine. As a point of interest, fallen British servicemen & women, over the years, tend to be buried where they have died with their comrades, rather than being transported home. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is the UK body that manages these cemeteries on behalf of our Commonwealth allies (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and many other nations) around the world and their distinctive cemeteries have always been visited with pride. The Great War battlefields of France and Belgium are covered with these cemeteries, their distinctive, poignant white headstones showing up with dignity, pride and sadness across the landscape of the old battlefields. I wonder if the CWGC will be involved with the new cemetery being prepared in Camden? Maybe that's something you ladies could look into? Thanks again for your heartfelt responses - very moving.
So touching. You two are officially amazing. Much love and many blessings,❤.
We have to recognise however, that the UK whilst historically an important country, is only the size of Oregon, with a population of 70 million.
The U.S is vastly larger and more powerful and has been since Britain rescinded it's empire after World War II.
The "special relationship" is far more important to the UK than it is to the US.
The biggest problem facing both nations is from within. Leftism and woke agitation by emotionally disturbed children, is a far greater threat than any foreign enemy.
Walk the streets of New York, San Fransisco, LA, London or Liverpool and you will see for yourself.
My grandfather is one of the graveless of the first world war I thank America for treating another Scottish with such honour and dignity. I may not see it but this gives me hope that one day someone might give my papa an honourable grave. My mother never got a chance to know her father since he was killed four months before she was born.
From the day gran was told he was missing in action till her own death on the 5th May 1960 she kept a lamp burning in the window every night
What a beautiful couple you are, inside and out 😊. It's great to see people trying to understand other cultures and other countries traditions... it should happen more often.
Much love ladies 👍🏻❤️🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Look at the medals. They have seen action. ❤👍🙏
America means a great deal to The United Kingdom...yes there are those who don’t agree ..they are free to do so .. the Special Relationship between the USA and the UK enabled us to fight together on many occasions for their democratic right and freedom to disagree ... ..🇬🇧🇺🇸....Also remember you don’t have to agree on everything to have a special relationship 🙂❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
I genuinely believe the UK and USA to be the only two countries in the world that have gone from being enemies to friends with zero animosity. Other countries seem to hold grudges going back centuries, but us two don't.
I do wonder if it was the circumstances of the revolution? The American colonists believed they were upholding British law, and many in Britain at the time agreed with them on this. No tax without Parliamentary representation is a key part of old English/British law. In America it seems that their beef was always with the British government/George III, not Britain itself.
The American revolution really was a disagreement between two very grown up peoples
This was a tribute to beat all tributes to these soldiers long may they rest in peace 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Hi Ladies. WOW, just wow!
If there’s any American who doubts our friendship and loyalty to your great country, shake your head, we believe there are no other two country as loyal to each other in the globe. I’m ex forces and would be willing to die if it meant helping out you great people. Love and respect you all.
Thank you for posting this,very moving,and your respect is lovely. From a proud Englishman.
What a wonderful video. I am a British Army veteran who has worked with the US Army & USMC on a number of occasions & made some good friends along the way, many of which I still keep in contact with. God bless America. 🇬🇧🇺🇲

You do matter and always will matter to Britain. You’re like a child we gave birth to, nurtured, raised and like all children rebelled and finally flew the nest. To become a fine, strong, upstanding adult. We are proud of and will defend, no matter the odds. No matter the cost. No matter what Imbecile politician governs our 2 great nations. You can count on one thing having served with American cousins. The British forces will always have your back and be the first to join you shoulder to shoulder to fight, and die if necessary to defend the values of the anglosphere. That was paid for in love, blood and battle.
