The Militias fought under their State flags, the Continental Army fought under it's flag. - So with all this being said, perhaps it is best that they used modern National flags. 🙂

Respect to our Scottish brothers, from USA

Being 1/4 Scottish, I am glad that the Scottish unit was there. Several of my 4 times great grandfathers fought in the Revolution, both English and Scottish. May those soldiers honored Rest in Peace. My Wallace ancestor fought in South Carolina.

@@jleechadwick Scots fought Scots who had left Scotland for the new world before the revolutionary wars its was the Uk against everybody dutch,german,slavs etc ,etc..Out of a small population we have in Scotland the Scots had so many regiments in the British army back then.The thin red line refers to a Scots regiment stopping 4000 Russian cavalry in its tracks with 3 rounds per minute then using those long bayonets on the muskets/rifles on the Russian cavalry who about turned and scattered in disarray.Just a line of red coats in kilts bagpipes blaring fighting in crimea exactly where the Ukrainians are fighting the Russians now.Our highest award for gallantry and bravery your equivalent in the US is the medal of honour is called the Victoria Cross its made from captured Russian cannons taken during the crimean war of 1854.The SAS were formed by a scotsman during the second World War.Your neighbours in Canada most of the regiments back then are named after Scots regiments as so many Canadians are ex pat Scots, all the best Janice from your cousins across the pond.

The American War of Independence was more like a civil war as The Continental s considered themselves British. So, it was family fighting family. I am glad that after two major disagreement s we became friends and hope that friendship always remains strong.

We are all family who were both on one side of the pond at one time.

My father was a young soldier stationed near Salisbury during WWII, before Overlord. He was in the 11th Armored Division, 63rd mounted infantry battalion, Co. "A" -- and until his dying day in 1994, he always spoke highly of the British people and their army. He raised many a pint with tommies in the pub.

We Americans love Great Britain. And the people. You guys ever heard of the Beatles?

The U.K. was at one time an adversary. I'm kind of sorry about that, but it had to be done and there's no regret, here. It wasn't the people, just the form of government. There's no "Real American" Soldier, ( I say again, REAL ), that lives today, that would ever let the Union Jack or Stars and Stripes fall, ... if they're able to still stand. And it wouldn't be for a King/Queen/Government. Only people make those things, or allow it. It would be for family. Oddly enough? The very thing, this U.K. Soldier tried "to uphold and defend"? Is the very same thing, that the nation that killed him?... Is trying to make "law" now.

May we all work for Peace in the future, and find ways to solve our differences without conflict. Perhaps the U.S. and the U.K. can lead the way in this honorable and valuable endeavor.

Amen. Thank you to WIS for the full coverage. I only heard of this thru the Forces Net channel..

I think you mean 13 rebels and 1 British soldier. The Revolutionary War was still in progress in 1780 and the United States was still fighting for independence from Britain. Furthermore, Americans' back in the 18th century spoke with British accents, including the seven founding fathers.

@@jacobrivers5728 the birth of the United States was 1776 so they would be American soilders. BTW why would they have a British accent my family had already been there for almost eighty years other families much longer.

​@@jacobrivers572813 "Continental Soldiers" to be exact.

@@jacobrivers5728 The United States Army was created on the 14th of June 1775. Soldiers that fought for the U.S. Army then as of now are American soldiers.

@@sealy3 If the United States Army was created in 1775 why were they referred to as 'Continental Soldiers' in 1780? Anyway, one man's Continental Soldier is another man's rebel. The only soldier buried here was the British Soldier who tried to stop an illegal act called a rebellion.

What sacrifice? They were rebels!

@@jacobrivers5728 This is not the Civil War; it was the American Revolution; and, yes, if you want to call them rebels, you can. They were rebelling against British rule. You don't understand American history to make a remark like that

@@ampatriotsmith9545 British rebels wishing to call themselves Americans caused the Revolutionary War. "You don't understand American history to make a remark like that". American History is as follows - 1620: The English arrive in Cape Cod and establish a new colony. 1776: 'Americans' who are just British anyway, declare independence from the motherland. 1783: The Revolutionary War ends and in 1785 Britain establishes diplomatic ties with the United States. 1812 British soldiers occupy Washington DC and burn down the White House, warning America to stay out of Canada. 1863-1865 Britain refuses the Confederates constant pleas for military intervention, who claim that they, unlike those in the north, are of pure British heritage. That sir is American history in a nutshell. One more thing, Britain chose not to recolonise America in the War of 1812.

​​@@jacobrivers5728 "at no time did more than 45% of the colonists support the war" And colonisation obviously continued, it just got called immigration. People can disagree about numbers but a sizeable number didn't fight for independence.

Wrong War. Learn your history.

Was he with a Loyalist Regiment? I lived most my life in Maryland and was pleased to learn that Maryland had a Loyalist Regiment comprised of men from Maryland's Eastern Shore.

I could only make out a few. The Governor was the first to receive a flag. The last two to receive flags were high ranking officers from the Maryland and Delaware National Guard.

@@Kwid90 I thought so, thank you

People have inquired and offered DNA to compare to those of the soldiers buried here. If a match should be found, they may well be given flags as well, or these same flags.

The British soldier in the tan uniform, who received the Union flag in the ceremony, is Colonel A Johnson, currently serving as assistant military attaché in Washington. He’s my brother!

@@Oldtanktapper Hey that's great! You must be proud. My guess is this folding and presenting of flaggs off of caskets is more a US tradition than British...

Looked like honor guard tab on shoulder on firing squad but not casket teams.on opposite side from blue infrantry cord should be leather strap.

God damn awful...never heard the flowers of the forrest played so badly

@@69jmcc94 Must have been one of the Americans. No British Army Piper would get away with that rank performance.

@@YARROWS9 what i was thinking no true scottish regiment piper would be so bad

Wish the Scottish 71st foot had brought their piper along with their honor guard. That person with the pipes was so bad it was horribly embarrassing .

It was not a known graveyard, archeologists discovered some of the remains buried just inches underneath the soil. These were very hasty graves dug directly after the battle by the British. I believe they found artifacts like buttons that identified US / British graves.

@@seanmmcelwain Oh ok. I can see where they would know a body was British to the rest Americans.. I only got to where they started to fold the flags with having to stop it a few times for work. Thank you for the info as it helps understand what I am watching..

There was a video before this one explaining. If you get the chance go to the battlefield. When the preservation is finished there will be a lot of material about the battle and these preservation efforts.

Ability to write in English not one of your strong points, is it?

No. He will be buried at the Camden battlefield site when it`s consecrated as a war cemetery by the US Army.

Huh? You would think that this British soldier would be repatriated. But ok. Still very honorable.

@@JohnReynolds-dk2rk I have since heard that he was a loyalist, rather than a British born soldier. So it makes more sense now that he is buried in America.

@@RicdelCampo1 he was a British subject just like Ben Franklin and son. Thanks for that information. He must have been torn.i guess he didn't have time to be torn between two nations after all,he met an early demise.

​@@JohnReynolds-dk2rk The British have a tradition of not bringing their soldiers home but rather setting up battlefield cemeteries close to where they fell. As long as the host country agrees and cooperates. The Brits maintain these cemeteries all over the world. Check out.. Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

George III was of the House of Hanover and had many family connections with Germany. During the War of Independence many Hessian troops fought as part of the British forces.

@@Crusty_Camper Beat me to it.

@@Crusty_Camper Thanks

@@Crusty_Camper except Germany didn't exist then nor did that flag. Was still the HRE at that point.

@@joelyboy7 HRE including Prussia was basically Germany.

British soldiers are usually buried where they die.

Who's to say they were from England ? Many who fought on the side of the British were born in North America..

The fallen British soldier was actually from Scotland. I guess they chose to bury him where he fell.

they are usually reburied close to where they fell. if the soldiers still have identifiable relatives who can claim them and want them back for family burial, that is a different issue.

He was a Scot, not from England. The soldiers are wearing kilts because they are from a Scottish regiment. Please please understand that there is a difference between UK and England.

I thought the piper was bad out of tune I know implay the pipes sorry but that wasn't a great piper

Agree. And since we are making these observations. I was hoping to see a crisp exchange of British salutes when the Union Flag was brought over to the British Military Attache. With the Scottish Sargent stopping his boot/salute. But no. Just head nods. I think that whole flag folding thing is foreign to the British Army. So they were not sure what to do with that.

​@chrisbeach9360 The British soldier presenting the flag is not wearing head dress, the British Armed Forces do not salute when not wearing head dress. There are many reasons why a British serviceman may be allow or required to not wear head gear. In this case, it was because he was part of the bearer party, who don't wear head gear. I can't find the actual reason for this but I imagine it's either as a sign of respect to the dead or due to the way we Brits carry the coffin on our shoulders, head dress especially the more elaborate one's worn by some Regiments (guards as a prime example) would get in the way or possibly be nocked off the bearers head. Or some combination of both. As for stamping his foot its a funeral so somberness is the order of the day. A stamping a foot is loud and not very somber basically. And no I don't think the flag founding and presentation is a British thing we do as a tradition. It seemed a little less formal and less rehearsed as a result compared to the US soldier's. This is not a criticism more my own observation. But the way the US serviceman carried the coffins seemed a little hurried, maybe they don't have a slow march like our armed forces. It just seemed a little, for want of a better word, sloppy in comparison to the British soldiers slow and almost deliberate placing of their feet. Also the fact we carry the coffin on the shoulder also seems more symbiotic as if the dead is a hero being held up high for his peers to see him one last time. Maybe both our armed forces could learn a little something about funerals from each other that would improve the respect shown to our dead. Not that it not being shown. But, just like everything, there is always room for improvement, and these two areas maybe such examples. Also yes as a Scot who has heard enough bagpipes the one playing here sounds out of tune.

They did he was given a military burial british flag was laid on his coffin you really think we gonna treat the British with disrespect? How long has America and Britain been on good terms after the revolutionary war? Just saying in ww2 We honored a Japanese kamikaze pilot that tried to wreck into on our navy battleships. We honored him coffin and japanese flag on the coffin. We dont hate no one until u start messing with our freedoms.

WTF. Why do people such as yourself who don't watch videos, comment?? if you did not see it you must not have watched this video at all. You see it from the very beginning, it is the central part of video at 10:40 to 13:40, and for about ten additional minutes. It is about 20% of total coverage of coffins and honor guards despite being about 7% of the casualties. The British Consul also speaks.

​@@scottbivins4758 "on good terms" is a bit of an understatement lol

So did you not watch the video, or do you not know what their flags and uniform look like? Besides the part mentioned above, start watching at 35:36 and you'll see lots of his coffin.

​@@scottbivins4758 We have had 2 direct wars with Britain we considered them our number one enemy until the Russians took that spot in 1938 now they are our number 2 or 3 enemies, our oldest and most trusted ally without who we would not exist is France Not England. Just stating historical fact, if you feel you need to disagree you should open an actual history book first.

Where is King Charles at, though?* And in England. This really isn’t something big enough to have the kings’ presence.

I respectively disagree. The 50 star flag represents what they fought for and are still trying to achieving today, a United States of America

that was a stoopid comment

@@MasterBlasterSr I disagree (respectfully). It was a legitimate question and I could see them using either flag. For that matter the British most likely fought under the "British Red Ensign" and an argument could be made that the American's could be under the Continental Army flag (Red and white stripes like today, but with the British Union Jack in the Blue area.)

@@taun856 the Americans were citizens of their own state, not the country or a crown. Royalists/Loyalists were under the Union Jack, not Americans.

@@MasterBlasterSr General Washington was the Commander of Colonial Forces at the Battle of Camden he used a Light Blue flag with 13 six pointed stars as his personal banner while his forces fought under the Continental Army Flag - I did a quick search and can find no notations that they used the "Betsy Ross" flag. It wasn't until 1834 that any Regiment of the US Army was authorized to fly the "Stars and Stripes" flag. In those days Armies (and Navies) used Battle Flags - such as the White Army Flag of today, not national Colors.

Romans 3:23 King James Version 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; You need to have godly sorrow for your personal sins that you have done, 2 Corinthians 7:10 King James Version 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. You need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Also, John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Then you need to call upon the Lord and ask him to save you, Romans 10:9-10 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. If you do not get saved you will die in your sins, Revelation 20:15 King James Version 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Your mammy

South Carolina is the first confederate traitor state to try and break away from the united states'of America. And the first confederate traitor state to quite literally fire on the American flag in Charleston harbor at ft. Sumter, April 1861. I call south Carolina traitor state number one.

Trusted ally? France only did it to get at Britain!

Perhaps you're the one who should open a history book. If you did you'd find out that the U.S. and England were actually allies during World War I which, looking at my calendar, predates your inane and absurd 1938 statement. In any event, while it's true that the French were our allies during the Revolution, the only reason they were was that they wanted payback for the British kicking their butt and claiming Canada during the French-Indian War of the 1750s.

@@64MDW WW1 was fought in France and the low countries, not England , what a dumbass, we joined that war when it looked like France was about to lose. Had nothing to do with the green-toothed people of the UK.

@@64MDW France, Britain and the US are now great allies and we are stronger together that's for sure.

No one even asked 😭

You’re cringe.

Humans can be animalistic. Your one too right?

@@JohnReynolds-dk2rk Yes I am a great ape, and so are you, and so is your mother. However, demoting to people to an 'animal', or 'dirty', is usually the precursor to building gas chambers.
