A question: a lot of those recoil "torpedoes " are covered with rope. Is that just for protection? Or am I confusing it with an other gun?

Thanx, very interesting indeed, it's an iconic gun❤

Good to hear you want to return Sir

Cadets rejected me in 1996 cos i was from Kerry n i didnt have an all-irlande medal.. fascist c u mts.

Fascinating

An interesting gun, a lucky find, wonderfully restored and displayed. The presentation was really interesting, great job.

I hope more Iriish veteran soldiers from world war two, Korean War and Vietnam war are interviewed. These interviews become more precious as the years roll by and also for the sake of future Irish historians.

pretty cool

I am from Clonmel Co. Tipperary and my grandfather served with the 18th Of Foot 1st Bn during the Boer War. He was recalled to the colours in 1914 and went with the BEF with the 2nd Bn. He was wounded at Mons on Aug 23rd that year and taken prisoner in his hospital bed. He spent 3 years as a POW in Zerbst until repatriated via the Red Cross in 1917. My dad served in the same barracks under the Free State and my two brothers and I served there also. I had family in the 18th Of Foot/ 4th Queens Own Hussars/ 8th and 14th Hussars/ Royal Dublin Fusiliers/ Royal Munster Fusiliers/ Leinster Regiment. All in all I had 9 family serve in the Great War and three never came home. These men were largely forgotten about and I think it's a shame. I belong to the 18th Of Foot Association and we as a group endeavour to remember those who served and those who fell. Whilst there is no longer a military presence in the town it's people should never forget the sacrifices that were made by its soldiers and their families.

Hi, I’d like to ask a few questions in good faith😊 The Officer with the ‘beret’ with tassels eg at 04:52, they are Reserve Officers? Is that the Caubeen of the Irish Defence Forces? I think I read that once somewhere. Also, the style of halting is unusual but good. What is the precedence for this ? Did the Irish Forces create it or did they adopt or from another Army? Genuinely asking with an interest in military customs and traditions from throughout the world.

Well done to the men and women of our defence forces. They should get paid a lot more for the fantastic work they do .

Least you will Remember them... Aw lads we have to be seen to be doing something "Rubert" I know it's hard and he was a good lad, but we have to get on with things "Rubert" ... Your fighting for your freedom "Rubert" ... PSNI lockdown ... just dead on, aye dead on ... #DispandPSNI 🇬🇧

God bless all who served ! They are all heroes.

Brilliant Robbie

God bless all the Irishmen that fought for the Empire.

Fine men and fine regiments!

If you are ever stuck for an interview with an ex-FCA Trooper, Cpl, Sgt, ex-PDF Pte, Cpl, Sgt, ex Officer and now a security adviser with the UN please feel free to reach out to me.

as a English man i say to the marvellous Irish we thank you

My grandfather was with the Leinster regiment. He was with them when they were doing peacekeeping in Silesia. In 1919 one of his soldiers came up and said "sir, we're free!"

hello they're irish duh

Just a Wonderful Man Adrian who is held in High Regard serve his country as an outstanding Brigadier

Thanks to these successive bastard governments shame on you freaks

What a man. God Bless You Sir. From Newcastle (Tyneside Irish).

Sgt James Knight, WWII Ulster Rifles, Mortar Platoon, D-Day to Berlin/Hamburg, and Control Commission, RIP my Uncle Jim.

3:07 He's wearing a George v medal? Looks great if he's over 100 years old. Also wearing the 1914-1919 peace medal

SinnFein a party supposedly of equality refuse to recognise that Irish men also fought and died.. anything British they don’t want to know

my grandads youngest brother left the mountains of west cavan for new york for work and was then drafted and served in Vietnam in 1968. 173rd Airborne. He survived his tour thankfully and was a massive glasgow celtic fan. Legend Rip uncle Johnny McGovern

Great parade and respect.

A grand parade, and wonderful music. My grandfather was in the Connaught Rangers, wounded at Guillemont, Sept 3rd, lost lots of comrades but survived the war himself. We will remember them.

Only time you fought Kelly was to get to the front of the dole queue to claim your bad back money..fool.. fucking armchair warrior..

The Ulster tower ceremony in the morning and then this afterwards! We certainly had a memorable day!

A memorable day for myself and four chums. Also a great service in Albert.

Excellent , a beautiful restauration indeed ❤👍

Hi Tony. I REMEMBER YOU WELL. I'M corporal Bassett from C company. Great memories in the FCA. I was in Collins barracks. Rambert you well. Great video.

What a shame this event didn't take place on a weekend when most Reservists are on time off their civilian jobs.

Excellent collaboration.

Now we need an army ! ha!ha!ha!ha!

Northern Ireland is very proud of its military Lest we forget 🇬🇧

I think I have the unique distinction of having joined the Reserve (then the FCA) in the Military Barracks in Castlebar in the 5th Motor Squadron, later the 5th Cavalry Squadron. I ended up as a Troop Sgt in the unit before I then enlisted in the PDF, and then after a series of various postings, I came back to the Military Barracks in Castlebar as the PDF Training Sgt with the 5th Cav Sqn. I subsequently got commissioned and had a few stints as the PDF Trg Officer with the 18th Inf Bn (also based in the barracks) and then for one brief period I ended up as OC Military Barracks Castlebar, from Trooper to OC the wheel had come full circle. I was, and still am proud to have served in the Reserve, 1007206. Abu.

I was in Ops, "Blueghost Control" when Nick "Red" Collier was in his last 3 months there. He was an amazing gunship pilot. So glad he ok.

I was there in UNEF two in Rabah with the Irish soldiers I met Jimmy Scanlon and Billy O'Brien

Thanks for uploading this. Very interesting. Wasn't aware before of the unusual (IMHO) method of marching when they come to a halt. Congratulations to all that finished class. Well done. Including the 6 lads from Malta. Well done everybody. Sorry to see so few female cadets.

Lovely restoration, kudos to all involved.

Who are the chaps in the dark blue uniforms with the red banding on their caps? They don't appear to take the oath. Foreign cadets? They give a proper salute though

Been there very moving to be there
