Notice the lightning flashes outside the windows. There was a severe thunderstorm that night. Which made the ground so muddy that Napoleon had to delay bringing up his artillery the next day. This gave Wellington time to move his army to a more favorable position.
Sir..in the movie scene theres part when the britiish troops were retreating at night and the scottish marching and singing along with the pipes as well.. do you know what song did they sang?
Scot’s are already badass enough with their kilts and pageantry. But I can’t imagine anything more badass than marching into the hellfire of battle blasting bagpipes basically making the statement of “Yeah, we’re the Scots, and we’re about to kick your ass or we’ll die trying.” 🤘🏼

I just read book by Simon Lewis. Seems this is the man on 0:57 was not a Gordon Highlander, nor was he Scot, he was New Zealander, and he was cast for the role because of his looks. He coudn't dance, hence he is shown only from waist up, they tried to teach him but it didn't help. Of course all other dancers were Gordon Highlander, actual soldiers, and the were forbidden from travelling to Ukraine, but this New Zealander actor did travel to there and spent several months there, waiting for his scene to be shot - where he is marching and singing
If somebody know better pls correct me but the snare drum is accurate? I think I read somewhere that they were introduced in the middle of the 19th century....
Interesting to see the more reasonable sized sporrans worn before the Victorians imposed the ridiculously large, clumsy ,hairy things that seem to have a life of their own when kilted soldiers march. Could not the remnants of the kilted regiments get back to a less exaggerated size of sporran.
they look like officers of the Black Watch Regiment. The producers even used the regiment's assigned officer's claymores for this scene, so most likely they must have employed the present-day troopers of the Black Watch Regiment to recreate the scene.
@johnv503 The actors might be officers, but they are not portraying officers here, and not of the 42nd. The yellow facings indicate it's the 92nd Gordons. Additionally, the coatees being single breasted and without the tell-tale gold/silver braiding shows that the dancers are in fact enlisted men.
