Now that I really like! This tune makes me want to kick the shit out of Napoleon.
Other brandies are available...
Chile as well.
Cultural appropriation.
Win the war, nick their songs
In this case, nick their title - Commandos - as well!
Happens all over.

Is it right that the Parachute Regiment are quite keen on the old Fallschirmjager songs?

I prefer Erika myself.
But back to the original subject, didn't regiments have Quick and Slow Marches? The Royal Irish Regiment had The Peeler and the Goat for a Quick March and St. Patrick's Day for the slow IIRC.

Not the best of recordings . . . but from a very sad, memorable, event . . .

"The last ever performance of Wait for the Waggon at the Royal Corps of Transport Depot, Buller Barracks where the Staff Band of the RCT resided until the corps was disbanded. This was the final parade held on 30th March 2013 by ex members of the corps to say goodbye to the Depot before it was sold".
A better recording . . . played by . . . "some other mob"
!!

Correct and the rifle and light infantry regiments also have double marches as well - 140 paces to the minute:
"Bugle Major, sound the double!"

Wasn't there a big furor in the 90's where some witty group of chaps were singing or playing the Horst-Wessel-Lied and were overheard?
I'm sure that I remember something kicking off.

Noticed the header called it the Royal Marines Regimental March which sounds like a bit of an appropriation.
They already have A Life on the Ocean Waves, Preobrajensky and Oh we do like to be beside the seaside - I think Sarie Marais is referred to by the the more generic 'Commando March' by their Band Services.
Regimental March?

Royal Marine Commando marching song. A word, and song, lifted from a respected/vanquished foe.

Did they steal their women too . . . or just their clothes?
