    Be sure to check out the related videos as you'll find others that include both military & the Braemar Games etc (some without audio, but still cool to watch)

    Two general officers, both resigning over a point of regimental honour and pride. What a pity we didn't have more of the same when the men of the Homogenized Highlanders (aka RRS) were tossed into the blender.
