Comments from YouTube Listener:

"brandon 36288...You have to love Imperial German military music - it comes from a
time that non-of-us can relate to; it was a world that died on the battle fields of World War 1."

"Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé {2x}
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras,
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes
Aux armes citoyens! Formez vos bataillons!
Marchons, marchons,
Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons"

"In the East, although the Army of the Potomac had followed Lee's beaten army into Virginia, things remained relartively quiet after Gettysburg.  With 50,000 combined
casulties in that battle, neither side was healthy enough to do more than rest and refit.  Here, in August 1863, the drummers of the 93rd New York, veterans of Gettysburg,
drill along the Rappahannock River in Virginia."
(David E. Roth, The Civil War 1861-1865, Zigzag Publishing, 1997 at p. 168)
