    The Devils Brigade video

    Found this interesting on YouTube. Plenty of Kilts and the sound of the pipes

    Re: The Devils Brigade video

    That is a great movie.

    I happened to be looking through the sidebar suggestions next to that video. I found this video: Oakland Highland Games At about the 1:35 mark, our very own Panache is walking past he camera with his fiery haired lady.

    I can see by looking at the photo shown on the sidebar what first drew your attention to that video!

    Re: The Devils Brigade video

    I remember watching that Movie when I was just a child, with my Father. I asked him what they where wearing and he told me "Kilts". I then asked him what kind of instruments they where playing? He told me the Bagpipes. Today I play the Pipes and wear the Kilt proudly. I may have been 6 or seven years old at the time. I learned later on of our Scottish Heritage.

    Re: The Devils Brigade video

    One day (a while back) I was checking out at Costco, where I found a dvd copy of "The Devils Brigade" for sale, and the college kid working the cash register picked it up, looked at it & told me "his grandfather" was the commanding officer of the 1st Special Service Force!

    I asked him what his grandfather's name was and he got it right (Col. Robert T. Frederick commanded the Devils Brigade from July 9, 1942 until June 1944).
    I was blown away!
