Kevin Carr's Gloves 3963 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Just so you know, because I realise how uneducated you are young sir. "Scotland Forever" was what the Gordon and Cameron Highlanders shouted as the union brigade (headed by the Scots Greys) charged the 45th and where Sergeant Euart (a Scots Grey) captured their imperial eagle. so nah nah na nah nah Edited June 18, 2015 by Kevin Carr's Gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17643 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Of course I said none of that. I know. Why did they, as you opened this thread claiming, go into battle screeching "Scotland forever" then?....it just seems a bit of a strange thing to use as a war cry when fighting to preserve a worldwide mercantile empire under a German king.

I don't know nobody asked them. It is however documented in a lot of soldiers memoirs that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
