A short scene from episode 9 of the great Sharpe's series.
Of interest only to those who enjoy seeing early 19th century redcoats receiving their kit. And marching. And chickens, yes, there are chickens in the clip.
A "bandook", by the way, is an old British Army slang word for a musket or rifle, derived from Hindi and Gurkhali.

  • what was the song they sing

  • It's an old Celtic tune called "The Craigeelee", which has had many different lyrics put to it. In 1895 it was used for "Waltzing Matilda". The lyrics they sing resemble "The Bold Fusilier", but they may have been written or adapted by John Tams, who co-wrote the music for the series, and also played the role of Rifleman Hagman.

  • They sure look good, but they're lousy singers. They need some Welshmen in that regiment.

  • Aye, Cymru am byth!
