It is really up to the Russians to take out putin and do so quickly.

    I am an American citizen who does admire this British Military band playing their song. This song represented the British prisoners of war being honored for their courage in facing the brutal treatment of the Japanese Imperial Army during World War 2. My heart goes out to those British Prisoners of War who were brave suffering at the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army during World War 2. They fought along with us side by side during the Second World War. That song has a lot of meaning.

    Thank you Jim Ramsay for marching along with the Baritones.
    I am church pianist now ... we play all hymns and choruses by ear ...
    i have wondered why i continually add color in the left and and seldom in the right.
    This video explained it all to me. The counter melody in this piece is wonderful ... glorious.
    You never get over sounds you heard as a kid.
    So glad my early music was melodious and beautiful instead of harsh and angry.
    I'm in my 53rd year as a dentist. I can come home after a hard day very stressed out and very very tired.
    Can barely drag to church on Wednesday nights where i play a few "sing-along" requests before we pray ... then an hour later practice the songs for Sunday for about another hour. And amazingly feel rested and rejuvenated afterwards.
    Keeps me out of the bar-rooms and honkytonks!

    I saw the movie Bridge on the River Kwai and Sir Alec Guinness would be hard to be equaled. Even when he marched with his troops, the way he held his head, the way he swing his arms. Though the movie is a far cry from the reality of the horrible conditions the prisoners worked under (read the book The Lost Highlander), there's something about the movie that still stays with me after all these years. And I am 71, saw the movie when I was seven and peppered my oldest sister with questions about the Japanese and British troops. Back then it was rare to see a full length movie with mainly British actors.

    Wonderful. I can remember playing the beautiful eupho counter melody to this March as our school cadet band (Melbourne High School) marched up Swanson St on Anzac Day in the mid 1970s. As we marched, one of the old WW2 diggers danced through our marching ranks while playing the spoons. My music teacher just said play it all triple forte as I was the only eupho. God I was exhausted after we had played it 3 times before we got to the Shrine. Amazing memories. All those old diggers are long gone now, but I’m still playing Eupho and loving those Kenneth Alford marches!

    The military bearing being maintained by every Marine in this band while performing is simply impeccable! This just shows you the level of perfection and excellence of one of the world's greatest military branches 🇬🇧

      An observation that I had also. I find that most nations that have a present or past relationship to the crown tend to have a strict military bearing. Being an veteran from the Canadian army, I always found that we had more snap to our step, and more precision than that of our southern neighbours.

      Absolutely! No other military in the world marches with such perfection and "oneness". Army, Navy & Air Force. They're absolute perfection. A joy to watch and listen to.

      My Grandfather served in Europe during WW2 he took part in the Landings just after D-Day and taught me this when I was a small boy in the mid 70's and of course I heard it played during the last Remembrance Day he was well enough to travel to Britain for in 1988 as we watched the Veterans March down Whitehall, but I don't think my Mom forgave him for teaching me to Sing "Hitler has only got one ball the other is in the Albert Hall" and so on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    out in Melbourne, Australia, Colonel Bogey was always played as one of the tunes to display march too.

    I go back to 1952 in the REME. Alright, we weren’t known for military drills. But at Passing Out Parade we marched to the REME band , and even now when I hear Lilliburlero it does something for me. Somethings you never forget, after all these years.
