The Fabric That Binds Us: Watch British Army's moving Remembrance video

The British Army has released a special video to mark Remembrance 2022.

Called The Fabric That Binds Us, the Army said the film aims to remind viewers about veterans from recent conflict –  connected by their service yet from different walks of life.

The video starts by showing an Army veteran sitting in a cafe before reaching into his pocket for his medals.

"It's remarkable how much the little things count," the voice-over, from the perspective of the veteran, says.

"Things we see, we use, day in and day out. It's remarkable how easily we forget what we would do without them.

"Cloth is one of those things," it continues.

The voice-over then lists a number of things cloth is used for, showing Army veterans in a number of everyday settings.

This includes spending time at home, playing sports, cleaning military vehicles and making up uniforms.

The video then cuts to a clip of a soldier in a historic war, with it unclear whether it is the First or Second World War, running to take cover before writing a note, kissing a piece of cloth and returning to action.

"It stands for what we believe in and we stand behind it because we believe in what it means," the voice-over says.

The film then shows a compilation of military personnel and a chorus of voices stating where they served with the Army.

"Perhaps cloth isn't remarkable at all," the voice-over says. "Perhaps what's remarkable is what it can be. 

"It's the fabric that binds us."

The viewer then sees the military personnel shown earlier in the video, before cutting to a shot of the First or Second World War soldier on the ground having been shot, clutching the cloth.

The concept of the film stems from the personal experiences of Remembrance of its creator Corporal Charles Logan Clare, a professional Army photographer with the Royal Logistic Corps, the Army said.

Corporal Clare wanted to create a video that showed the human side of soldiers and how, despite their different backgrounds, they are the same.

"We all come together for the act of Remembrance and that Remembrance is a form of community. I also wanted to create a piece that would help to modernise the act of Remembrance, yet still paying tribute to its origins," said Corporal Clare.

All cast members are veterans or serving regular and reserve soldiers as well as their families, all of whom Corporal Clare has either served with, deployed with or knows through friends.
