Note the names of the soldiers.

No Argyll names!

No Sutherland names! Well, maybe one.

These soldiers are virtually all English- speaking Lowlanders and Englishmen.

The regiment should never have been called The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders when it was formed in 1881.. Instead, it ought to have been called something like The Stirling Fusiliers.

@eoghanbeg

Well too fucking bad..It Was called the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, so fuck off clown

I am am an englishman but I want to honour the heroics of mad mitch and his heroes in Aden in 1967 who won the battle of Krater and allowed we brits to leave Aden with dignity .They Yemen would have been better off staying british.The UK is the fifth richest country in the world , Yemen is last but one in terms of prosperity.

Great comment independenceuk The Argylls had just releived the Northumberlands now RRF and both regiments were ambushed by the Aden Police....the rest is history m8

no country is better off occupied. To live broke with dignity is better than to live under occupation and 'propsper'.

There were heroes on both sides, as army personnel are under orders and nobody can slate those killed in battle so God rest everyone's souls- the british army personnel and their yemeni resistance fighters.

Cuckooland, yep

@nurlhaq - -er most of the rioters were Black or Asian (although we did have some of our native White scum rioting)

I'd have given the bastards a blast of belted 7.62, regardless of colour.

BTW, ask a Baluchi or Philipino how well Arabs treat them when they are working in the Gulf states.

NOBODY should be "treated like a dog" by ANYONE.

@joedredd13215

Ha!ha! --You tell the twat!

Argylls- ace unit.

My salute to the Northumberland Fusiliers too.

Mad Mitch-- -now there was a REAL soldier. I was on stand-by to join 1 Para unit to Aden in 1967, but Harold Wilson, the British Prime Minister, cancelled it and brought forward the withdrawal. A comrade out there told me that at the end FLOSY and the NLF just wasted each other and 1 Para just threw the bodies on a truck,

Mitchell-- a real man.Wilson- a real cnut.
