Anyways it's a pride for a soldier to have white clothes maculated with mud or blood. You know why the English soldiers used to wear red jackets and the German brown pants?

@@darkstaff75018 LMAO

@@darkstaff75018 Saxons wore red..Danes white or red

@@darkstaff75018 Red was the colour chosen by our Chief of Men, Oliver Cromwell, for the New Model Army. Units including of the English Royalist army had worn undyed wool tunics but he wanted a common colour for the whole army. Napolean apparently abandoned the use of white in the early 1800s after he saw how wounds and of course the effects of being stood next to someone who was shot looked on the uniform. German units didnt wear brown trousers anymore than anyone else did on campaign. And as the Germans of the KGL showed at Waterloo where they were the main troops to have held Hougoumont and La Haye Sainte for much of the day against massive odds, they had balls of steel

@@labaguette3740 yo

@@labaguette3740: I mostly see Pre-Napoleonic France underrated. We often see NAPOLEON! In bold letters, (figure of speech) with regards to the age of linear warfare. Then the rest would be“oh they participated in World War One, THEN THE AMERICANS ARRIVE!”. Then World War Two which stereotyped France constantly surrendering in Wars. Often fueled by Colonial Victories in the French and Indian War. I honestly wish European events were more focused in American schools prior to our intervention and installment as a Republic. Much is shortened to the point where misinterpretations of history has become all too common. Along with neglecting minor and some major details alike. It is also hardly mentioned that France was an ally during the Revolution, along with Spain, and minor connections with the Dutch. Perhaps once is it, but extremely briefly, less then a minute or two. Then the rest would be “Oh, and we inspired their Revolution”. Then the reign of Terror is often the main highlight of any foreign history we learn. The rest being summarized until World War Two, much history being again.. skimmed or missed entirely due to “time constraints at school”. Several years over have I missed World War One and repeated lectures to hear what happened in World War Two and so on. The same case for American Revolution which I learned over and over for six years before moving on to government, (but after six years we already learn the first three months worth of American Government). Edit: My apologies, I began to go on a rant toward the end. Main point is, we hardly learn of the 18th Century other then skimming French and Indian War and highlighting the American Revolution. Mostly “British bad, King bad, Taxes and Oppression and we use imported boom sticks to fight in trees as ignorant British March in columns”. Which after learning in history embarrass me that we even teach it in a way where it is more propaganda then history! Especially how they say the British was the finest army of that time, which honestly was not the case. They were second rate at best (excluding their artillery which was considered separate from the army and received special training), and of course the Royal Navy is hardly mentioned as being the Crown Jewel in the British Military during this era. Which arguably was the best navy at this time. With French ships being particularly faster then their British counterparts, which isn’t often mentioned either.

@@adrianh.3102 Thank you.

French revolution: 1789 American Revolution: 1765 Not sure what you mean.

@@masterofreality926 he means the French when they helped and sent troops to aid American troops during their fight against the british, mostly because Mexico and all of the south in the USA was French territory thus we able to move troops easily to help America. But when America won and France started their revolution 20 years later America didnt help, however America did help during World War 1 and 2 when they helped liberage france from Germany

@@masterofreality926 The American Revolutionary War started in 1775, not 1765. Nevertheless, the French Revolution is not being brought into question. Deutschlandlied is the anthem of Germany. The US helped liberate France from the rule of Nazi Germany in World War II. What he is trying to say is that without France's help in the Revolutionary War (which they did provide a lot of), there would not even be a United States, so Americans shouldnt feel so much pride in saving France.

@@kinggeorgeiii7515 Alternate account of this guy, but I also have an ancestor who was a drummer in the French army.

Been a while since my family participated in wars, I think the earliest I can trace back is my Great-great-great-great grandfather was a German mercenary who fought on the British side of the war of 1812 and stayed in Québec. Rest of my ancestors are a mix of working class French Canadian labourers on my father's side and still French Canadian, but more burgher professional types on my mother's. We could trace back my mother's lineage to the first apothecary in New France, for example. I have, however, no idea if any of them fought in the wars in America, it's probable, but I have no idea.

Il serait vraisemblablement né dans les années 1710, il se serait enrôlé approximativement peu de temps avant la guerre de succession d'Autriche, a partir de l'année 1743. Il aurait fait un enfant a une veuve de soldat avec promesse de mariage ( un soldat dans le régiment de Hainault, compagnie Deleseme, mort en 42 pendant le siège de Prague. ).

Salut. Ce document, c’est une sorte de livret militaire de l’epoque? Tu l’as trouvé comment, par hasard ou en consultant un site quelconque ? Mon experience de recherche généalogique m’a appris que c’est super dur de trouver qq chose de militaire au delà de la premiere guerre mondiale.

@@belis35 Hello, oui c'est un papier d'époque, le papier est issu des archives du régiment disponible sur le site mémoire des hommes.

I think it's probably a modern arrangement, the rhythm and layering in the cadence is a bit much for a military band from the 1700s. Nevertheless, it's still really good.

@@captainmilkman I wouldn't put it past the French composers of the age. Both Lully and Rameau composed some incredibly modern works involving multiple timpanists and drummers so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for such cadences to exist. Lest we forget this was the Baroque era, probably the most unique epoque in all of Western Music.

I agree. I would just love to get my hands on a book about the French navy during the 1600's-1800's. And on the land forces as well. The victors write the history, and it seems like the USA had been pro-British in all it's smattering of histories about the period. Even a French work translated into English would be super as I do not know how to speak, read or write in French.; I am terribly interested in the time though!

@@Fayah it was the biggest " professional " army in europe at the time and it's a fact. France had 200 000 active professional soldiers but could muster around 400 000 soldiers in case of a big war , the majority having military training already. the french army wasn't based on conscription or things like that in contrary to most european countries. of course russia and the ottoman could raise more raw troops if needed. But nobody had such a huge professionnal army. it was the result of louis xiv policy

@@danemon8423 Yeah i know all of that i am French. I just didnt see the « had » So i thought You were talking about present day. My bad

Pitched battle sounds silly to someone whose notions of war are defined by modern technology, but it was appropriate for the conditions of the time. It wasn't certain death either, you're just as likely to die now by wounds in combat in your trench or dug in position. It's just more likely to come from an artillery shell or airstrike from an enemy whose whites of his eyes you'll never see. The problem before the twentieth century was disease.

Non Philippe, ce ne sont pas des musiques de Philidor. Il s'agit d'airs français joués par un groupe de haut niveau de fifres et tambours américains: les "Middlesex County Volunteers Fife and drum Corps" et essentiellement extraits de 2 de leurs albums: "Lafayette's Ghost" et "Age of reason".

@ le concept de F&I Drum Corps arrive très tard dans le 18e siècle, particulièrement avec la grosse caisse (bass drum). Par exemple, la présence d'un joueur de fifre n'est relevé que pour la compagnie colonnelle d'un régiment (comme un régiment compte 2 à 4 bataillons avant les années 1770, c'est donc un joueur de fifre pour la compagnie colonnelle alors que le reste des compagnies comptent normalement de un à deux tambours chaque). Ce genre d'orchestration est donc ravissant mais très théorique.

Sure man. After I find all the music and pictures it shouldn't be too hard.

@@jumpinthefire23 that's awesome. I look forward to it.

Under Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, France was boosting up

in some way it was better, the bonapartist empire made way for napoleon III taking position as emperor, who lay the foundations for a modern city of paris, later resulting in the construction of the eiffel tower, so you must think, if they was no revolution, paris would be totally different
