May Kate live forever young
In Italy the child soldiers who preceded the armies playing the drums were called *"tamburini"* , and when they weren't employed to spread orders, they carried stretchers, assisted the injured and performed other support tasks. Unfortunately their task was very dangerous as they were positioned next to the front lines and the presence of the drum made them an easy target, in fact many of them were injured or died.
In Italy the story of Edmondo de Amicis *" il tamburino sardo"* (the little Sardinian drummer) is very famous. During the Risorgimento he was a boy of perhaps 14 years who was given the order to deliver a letter during a battle against the Austrians, as unfortunately his battalion was in great difficulty. He was chosen because he was small, healthy and fast and had more chances to pass unnoticed among the enemies, so his captain asked him to deliver a message asking for help. The boy beginned his journey, was injured almost immediately but he didn't give up and two days later reinforcements arrived. At that point the captain decided to go to the camp where the wounded were admitted to see the condition of his soldiers and among them he finded the little drummer, lying on a bed, pale and wounded and with horror he saw that he no longer had a leg and was dying. A doctor sayed the boy could have saved his leg if he had been treated immediately after being wounded, but he had continued his journey to deliver his message and this was the result of his act of courage. The captain (a rough soldier used to war) was moved, he bringed his hand to his forehead and sayed to the boy *"I'm just a captain, but you're a hero"* , so he hugged him and gived him three kisses on his heart.
People always remember soldiers but often don't know the important role these children played during wars and their often tragic destiny. In Italy their role instead is known by a lot of people and will always remain in the memory thanks to the little Sardinian drummer.
Much was copied from the Romans. I would be shocked to find many things being copied.
My grandfather's father was part of n army band in WWI, the last"traditional" war. He was injured and died of wounds as he was supporting comrades of his regiment of the Austro-Hungarian army, playing his clarinet on the battlefield. Just imagine....he was barely 21 years old.
Un Catalonia there were called "Timbalers" and there is a national Catalan heroe , the Timbaler del Bruc, dead in battle vs. the French invading army.
Terrific vignette, grazie
My favorite actress. Kate Winslet.
It would be so nice if the BBC would make these entire episodes available to watch by people who don't live in the UK. I LOVE this show (UK, US, Australian versions), and am always so frustrated by the inability to watch them unless someone uploads them illegally. Hard to understand why these aren't made available to a wider audience. I would be happy to pay a subscription fee (if it's not sky high) to watch these shows here in the U.S.
Same! I'm from Brazil and I watched many of the little bits available here on youtube but can never watch an entire one. Annoying. :/
I agree. I love the bbc ones sinceI’m not from the UK that’s probably why I find them interesting.
I’m in nz and struggle with this with shows from overseas. It’s a shame.
Same here. I'm in Denmark, loves these types of programs and it annoys me that I cannot watch them anywhere, all of the country versions you mentioned, and would really love to have that option too without just the bits that is not enough, that you can catch here on YT...
We cant watch them in the uk unless they are aired. They aren't on iplayer
"I can barely play a recorder" haha kate
I loved it when she said, "They must be Boiling! "
I’m also 1 of 11. I remember as a kid having fun playing board games with my family. Fun times!
I hope you had more than 1 bathroom in your house XD.
Wow!!!!
Commander kate winslet 👏👏👏
Love Kate, she's not big headed and the most beautiful actress in Britain.
So she comes by her talents naturally!! She has a lovely singing voice! And she picked up the drumming pretty quick. It is wonderful to see how talents pass through our genes ❤️
“Their heads must be like furnaces under there...”
Omg I love her!
she's such a good sport.
Kate's grand grandfather a drum major. How amazing!
One of the Women more I've watched in my childhood and puberty!!! She is a great Actress with army roots!!! She is a Warrior💪🏻
0:54 and 4:13 - "WHAAT?!" Haha.. Kate, are you talking to Cal on Titanic?
Yess my favourite moments hahahaha
I still see rose I try to see just Kate but she will always be rose to me I admire Kate and love all of her movies she’s so beautiful 💜
This really amazes me. My father was also William Colquhoun. Would like to find out if we are related down the line. To Kate’s family. I live in Australia. Someone told me they saw this episode on television. Would love to see the entire program.
Colquhoun isn't an Irish surname. It's a Scottish one. It comes from an area around Dumbartonshire. The name is pronounced Co-hoon, with the emphasis on the "hoon" part. The spelling is an older Scots rendition of a Gaelic place name. In Middle Scots spelling an "L" lengthens the vowel before it and is not pronounced. The "quh" combination is "wh" or a guttural "h" sound. In older Scots texts you can find combinations like "quhat" (what, pronounced hwat) or "quhar" (where, pronounced hwar). It's not that common a surname, so maybe you are related to Kate Winslett.
Very few colquhouns in Ireland.
Yes. I’m aware our name is Scottish. Not a common name though.
That would be so cool for you if you are!!
Calhoun is a family name for me, and during my own ancestry search I discovered that a super far ancestor of mine got kicked out of Scotland into Ireland because he started too many clan wars 🤷♀️
I've had a crush on her for 30 years
Lol I'm old.
Kate is adorable. I knew she had Irish in her!
The person telling her Colquhoun is an Irish name got it wrong. The Clan Colquhoun's lands are around the west bank of Loch Lomond in Scotland.
Any Colquhoun's in Ireland are descended from settlers in the Ulster Plantation.
Yes can see the Irish in her eyes and smile!
The name Colquhoun is SCOTTISH. Bob Hay is 💯correct.
@@targets1000 maybe there was a mix-up because they had settlements in ireland. Many of them left Scotland to escape persecution in the 17th century.
So she has an O'Brien in her family tree.
Congratulations, Kate, you are related to at least 1/4 of the Irish diaspora in America.
The person telling her Colquhoun is an Irish name got it wrong. The Clan Colquhoun's lands are around the west bank of Loch Lomond in Scotland.

@@targets1000 making there kids Irish tho if your born in Ireland and grow up in Ireland your Irish so even if this is true they mated with other Irish making them more Irish generation by generation .
@@targets1000 Well his son married an O’Brien and had 11 children so v likely a Catholic. Also Catholics and Protestants shared the same names or did you think Mc originated in Scotland.
@@kkandsims4612 many Colquhoun's left Scotland in the 17th century to escape persecution. They were Catholic. I think that's why the genealogist said it was Irish.
I love Kate
Kate is so cute playing the drums. Lol!
😮this is quite simply an amazing history kate!!! Fascinating
Kate is wonderful
이거 영드임? Kate still one of the finest actresses
She's so beautiful and clever ♥️ Australia
My mother is one of 12 and I can say without a doubt that it’s extremely chaotic and fun
I love kate iiiiii love her is such a nice person
What did you do today? "I taught Kate Winslet how to drum."
Love Kate Winslet ❤
That's amazing! I'm from Brazil I have no idea where my family come from. I have one grandmother and she is 110 years old. But even her documents does not say much.
Check out familysearch it's a free site many people upload their trees and help do data entry on marriage/birth and other documents including Brazil. Hope it helps. 🙂
Wait... Your grandmother does not know anything? She does not know in which cities her grandparents lived? Like at all? Maybe she is just secretive?
Portuguese and Amerindian?
Amazing and gorgeous Kate❤️
KATE WINSLET
7:29 she is soooo cuuuuute :'>
I love her so much!
She's cute when the stick slipped of her hand, and said, "Ooh! "
Hard work, dilligence, commitment....and being born to a Dad who had an inside edge.
But, Kate is amazing.
Not much of an inside edge. He wasn't an heir from Downton Abbey.
How exciting to learn about your family history!
her smile was amazing.
It would be nice if bbc was available to other countries,
i love her
I love this. I adore Kate
The regiment where Kate's ancestor was the drum major, the 30th Regiment of Foot, is now part of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border).
would love the see the whole thing , how can I see this whole program about Kate Winslet :) really interesting, love this
BEAUTIFUL
She Is so cute 🤗😍
1 of 11 kids, I’m curious how many made it to adulthood?
lushiousification probably around 4
As the man of means he was, probably quite a few. Steady job in the Royal Service, excellent pay from an early age, education and no fighting....pretty sweet deal.
@@patricksanders858 They could still die... unfortunately, it happened
@@Cassxowary true, but they stood a better chance than most people at the age
In my genealogy there were 18 kids in one family and 13 survived survived to adulthood. Quite a high morbidity rate but still quite a lot surviving to adulthood.
Children in the early 1800s were put to work even younger than 11. Childhood was not regarded as it is today; most children were regarded as little, wild people who needed strong discipline and training for work (unless wealthy). Schools were considered places to give children the ability to read the Bible and learn a trade or occupation. Kate apparently was unaware of the ubiquity of child labor even into the 20th century (and still today, in many places). Her ancestor did well to place his son where he did, setting him up for a better life.
Thank-you 😄
Wunderbar
It'd be lovely of this content would be available for other areas. I'm from Argentina and I'd love to be able to watch these episodes in full.
Probably some sort of streaming to be paid monthly or some way that may hive us the opportunity to watch BBC content in full.
❤️ Thank You ❤️
Love the end!
I wish I knew she did an episode!!! Seeing as we are related
Yeah, supporting 11 children would be really rough but giving birth to them is in a whole other league!
Ha! That was fabulous.
Easily the best ending to a RUclips video,….ever!!
In Germany before specifically Prussia used to have child soldiers too
Sounds a lot like Calhoun which is sort of common over here across the pond.
Right AsReign Calhoun is phonetic pronunciation of Calquhoun/Colquhoun.
The person telling her Colquhoun is an Irish name got it wrong. The Clan Colquhoun's lands are around the west bank of Loch Lomond in Scotland.
Any Colquhoun's in Ireland are descended from settlers in the Ulster Plantation.
Wow! I'm doing genealogy and My great-great-great grandfather was also in in army -- the East India Company private army. For him, it was that or being a weaver. Born about the same time, too. Interesting coincidence.

Is there any way that we, in the US, can purchase complete UK episodes? Or, is there anyplace, online, that we can watch? Thanks!!
My great grandfather was one of 26 🙃
so kate winslet is partly irish, no wonder shes so pretty
Who doi I think I am : not Kate Winslet...!😍
Her drumming skills 😂 😂🤣🤣 was okay I wonder if she ever took it up
Kate has Irish ☘️ blood
Love this eleven years old so young but was the times they lived in
Took my grandson into a non working coal mine here in Nova Scotia. He was horrifies to hear the age of boys (9 & 10) working in the mine in a bygone era.
@@papaalphamike Some still have to...
He wasn't fighting though, he was a drummer/messenger...
Как бы я хотела посмотреть эту передачу полностью на русском!
They don't upload for free because its one of the ways the broadcaster makes money is to resell the international rights usually a year or two after the original broadcast
👏👏👏👏
Anyone have a link to where we can watch the full episode? please & thanks.
You have such a beautiful name!
fun
The guy with the glasses looks like Buddy Holly.
✌️👊
I'd love to know my ancestry 😃
Kate is Rose
Doesn't surprise me. My mom is nber 7 out of 11 kids. My youngest uncle drowned when he was a teen and my youngest aunt survived her hysterectomy (cancer) and made it to her 56th birthday.
If he was a drummer boy in the grenadier guards, he would most likely have been at Waterloo.
It’s possible he was at Waterloo but not likely. The Guards were quite large formations and 2/3rds of them were not in Belgium.
Good job !
“Who do you think you are “ a phrase, disturbs Swahili Language !
11 kids. A football team...

1:36 - she descends from the Sims
she is so cute.
💟💞❣
When she was drumming it would behave been nice to have heard her sing... I won't let go jack I won't let go.... Lol
I dig Kate. Just a very cool chick!
I'm sorry, wrong choice of words. I'm glad we have a common past with Kate, I'm just afraid the soldiers are stolen from everyone! If you are not a hero in Hollywood movies or on magazine pages, then the life of soldiers is completely anonymous and meaningless! I've seen a lot of pain, a lot of fear, so please don't take soldiers as executors don't learn of will. They are people who believe in something and try to help! If Kate Wisnslow's ancestors were vocalists, I take the fact that mine too as a positive. Although at a different time in a different social setting. Kate, I wish you good luck and love in the next life!
I think Kate’s at her most beautiful now! She’s aged so well.......not that she’s old, but bear in mind she became well known in her early 20s!
Éamonn O'Keefe, such an Irish name! 😅
The person telling her Colquhoun is an Irish name got it wrong. The Clan Colquhoun's lands are around the west bank of Loch Lomond in Scotland.
Any Colquhoun's in Ireland are descended from settlers in the Ulster Plantation.
@@targets1000 Oh, I don't know anything about that name. I'm from down south in Ireland (Munster), and don't have much knowledge of Ulster surnames. I just know that Éamonn O'Keefe is a very Irish name. 🤷🏻♀️
@@catbeara No worries catbeara. The Genealogist hadn't done his /her homework.
If anyone can be loved and admired in today's crazy world, it's Kate Winslet. Think what you want! It's just like that! If she didn't win more Oscars, it's just that the commission is a completely unjust bunch of incompetent dilettantes! Kate, you are our inspiration, keep working, because he is absolutely brilliant! By the way, I'm an officer for 20 years, and so are my ancestors, so we have a similar past! But I'm from the Czech Republic, but I don't think it means anything in our globally occupied world!
7:28!
Is no one going to comment on the fact that the historian working in Buckingham Palace is an American? Just me? Ok.
He's a spy!
I think you will find that the Military Historian Eamonn O'Keeffe is from Canada and he does not work in Buckingham Palace
Caroline Edmiston (Cooki3Fairy) could have been a canuck?
First thing I noticed why not English historian lol.
He may be American, Canadian or from somewhere else - so what? Seriously, so what? This country takes the best and the brightest from everywhere (just as we do in our NHS, football/soccer, financial services, etc. etc.). When I saw this, I didn't even notice it, so thanks.
The Drum Major's "cane" as the historian cutely calls it... is generally referred to, much more in the Martial Spirit, as his Mace. There are camps for young DMs and competitions for the creative use (twirling) of said mace. Very cool he became a DM !
The prevailing terms employed during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were cane or staff, not mace - hence my word choice.
Kate Winslet has a triple goddess tattoo on her left wrist how fabulously fitting! see 5:18 :)
When Kate Winslet will work again with Leonardo DiCaprio?
Eleven childrens to feed! This is very hard!
Literally a little drummer boy.
The link doesn't work outside of UK 😭
Yes it does. I read it in Dublin.
And I'm in different continents.
It works inNZ
A like for her BIRTHDAY!!! 😘xx
Birthday twin too lol
There was plenty of room on that door for two, Rose. PLENTY OF ROOM!!!
