World's primeur: on 22nd May 2009, at 18:50, the all-Flemish Ypres Surrey Pipes & Drums Band performed with great feeling "Ich hatt' einen Kameraden," an old German military song, for the assembled German and British reservists, cadets and multinational visitors. The location was Langemarck German Military Cemetery in Belgian Flanders Fields, the occasion the 100 km March around Ypres week end.
Peace reigned over the assembled audience remembering and paying their solemn respects to more than 44 000 German and 2 British WW I soldiers resting at this cemetery.
Later that day, the Germans, the Brits and the locals merrily fraternized till the wee hours of the morning in the famous Fabienne's Klein Rijsel Café in Ypres!
Well done and a big thank you, YSP&D Pierre Dervaux and Eric Rémy!

    Don't listen to this little child. Most germans have a high opinion about the British. Certainly more than vice versa ;)

    We are relatives. WW 1 and 2 are the only wars where we stood on different sides (if I remember right).

    And hell yes, I would serve with the British.

    May God bless our countries and all soldiers who served their countries in honour - or still serve.

    Remember our fallen soldiers.

  • Gott schütze unser wunderschönes Deutschland!

  • A timely reminder that good soldiers from several nations are dying in Afghanistan, and for what ?

    Today we lost 6 good men from the UK. I would be proud to be considered a comrade, a kamerad, a friend of all of them.

  • Was für eine Gedenkveranstaltung wenn manche Soldaten dort nichtmal das Stillgestanden beherrschen!

    Die Rede ist von dem zweiten Soldaten von links.... pff, wie haben solche Leute die AGA überstanden? lol

  • God bless our fallen heroes, no matter if they were from Germany, Russia, the States, Canada etc.

  • Sehr schön.

  • die beste von version von ich hatt' einen kameraden die ich je gehört habe

  • Sind bestimmt Reservisten so wie die da rumstehen. ^^

  • @ArminiusvanLand

    Den ganzen Dialog lesen. Dann sollte meine Position klar sein und die Ironie aus meinem vorherigen Kommentar klar werden...

  • @1981Spirensis Dann dürften die Kameraden der Fremdenlegion das Lied auch nicht singen, was sie aber tun.

  • @SuperFusselbuerste Das sind Soldaten der unterschiedlichen Waffengattungen. Deshalb haben die auch unterschiedliche Kopfbedeckungen auf. Weiße Mütze vorne rechts: Marineoffizier, Der mit dem Schiffchen ist von der Luftwaffe und die Baretts sind vom Heer
