Hello, For those of you who have been waiting, here it is. Part 2 of my videos of the British Soldier on the Western Front, a part of my British Infantryman series. This particular video covers the uniform and equipment changes from 1915 - 1918 but doesn't cover all of the Anti-Gas Equipment changes as that is an entire topic of its own. Hope you enjoy, Matthew, Matthew's Military Moments Insta...
The British Infantryman - The Great War: Western Front Part 1 - 1914
Просмотров 6 тыс.4 года назад
Hello, With the Great War being a promenant feature in history, I believed that it was worth a video. The issue is the fact that during the war, there were so many changes to the uniform and equipment that I could not do it justice in one video. So, in this first part of the two episodes on WW1, I will be covering the WW1 Tommy on the Western Front in 1914. Thank you to Battlefield History TV (...

How effective were the gas masks? Assuming you put it on quickly enough when the gas hit, how effective were they at actually protecting you from something like chlorine?
Odd that they called the Lee Enfield "short magazine", when it had double the capacity of most bolt action rifles at the time.
@sebastijanglozinic8630 the short bit refers to the shortened barrel, as it's predecessor had a longer barrel. The magazine refers to the fact that it's magazine fed.
A FANTASTIC presentation of what American military often terms “junk on the bunk” Obviously you laid out 3x the amount of gear that a typical Tommy wore in 1944. But I am curious as to how strict the soldiers carry inventory was monitored in the British Expeditionary Force?
The PVC jerkin was still in use on Royal Observer Corps "cold weather" posts up until the ROC was stood down on 30th September 1991. I'll confess that I found them a bit stiff and impractical and suspect that the leather version would have been more effective.
Very well done. Thank you.
This is very well presented, well done
Comprehensive presentation. Well done.
Great video, well done !!!
The real British army The army my dad was in 1948 1950 National Service
Very well made and informative video!
Great vid keep them coming
My issue is if you are so interested in the military join it.
Impressive presentation. Love it.
The DLI, the forefather of the Light Infantry. My Battlion was renamed 7th Battlion Light Infantry ( Durham) in 1989 before I joined the regulars. It's now called the 8th Battlion the Rifles. My great grandfather's unit was virtually wiped out during the Somme and there was only a few men left including my great grandfather and they were transferred to the DLI to replace their losses. He held them with such affection and respect for the rest of his life.
To be fair, the Prince Albert's Somerset LI, Duke of Cornwall's LI, King's Own Yorkshire LI, King's Shropshire LI, and Durham LI, together formed the lineage of the Light Infantry when formed in 1968
Nice to see younger generation taki g interest My grandad would of worn all that in Normandy
Excellent overview, Matthew. In a previous life (the 80s), I did an impression of a British soldier (51st Highland Division, 42nd Black Watch) so this brings back a lot of memories.
Bravo, Matthew!
As my DL would say if he was unimpressed with the ironing. Did you iron that with a brick. Death by other means would follow.
Mens participation in war represents men's weakness and fawning to female gynocentrism. The communists destroy men with feminism and the conservatives destroy men with chivalry.
Cool well thanks 😊
Excellent content.
Good vid, mate! Relax...
Great video, very informative.
interesting about the leather webgear being cheaper back then. i imagine it would be the opposite nowadays.
Sehr Intressantes Video.Gut gemacht.
Sir can I have some Moaaher.
Excelente video!! Muy interesante e ilustrativo. Un cordial saludo.
Excelente video! Muy ilustrativo. Saludos!
Very interesting ciao
It's nice to see a lad of the right age displaying all this kit as well rather than an overweight 45 to 50 year old.
My grandad used the bren in Egypt in ww2 . He would have been familiar with all of this kit.
Fantastic! Do you know anything about his time in the Army?
Lovely countryside where you live! Lucky son of a gun :)
I am not aware there was this misconception. I am appalled. In the netherlands i never came across this. The dutch have much more to be ashamed off
I'm a huge fan of these videos of yours.
Thankyou, it's great to hear this!
This is an excellent video, very well presented, very informative. Thank you for making it!
Well done young man!
You make your point well, and no reasonable man would disagree, given what was known and believed at the time. That doesn’t mean that the Brit-bashers won’t show up.
Nooooo, Britain also totally didnt murder Sikorski and did not sell Poland to Stalin at Yalta... Brits. Not the slightest spark of decency, nor a spine to admit a f up. Absolutely pathetic.
How common would double shot be
Are you referring to the amount of powder in a a cartridge?
Mein Gott man.
Even in the darkest hours of the war the United kingdom still had taken in her allies soilders to the safety of her own shores. She cloved, armed, and housed the Free armes and navies of the French, Polish, Belgians, Dutch, Greeks, Czechoslovakians, Yugoslavians, Norwegians, Danish, Luxembourgers, Albanian, and even the royal Italian armies. And remember that the British empire freed most of western Europe long before the channel islands
Poland got a bill after the war for the equipment which the Polish soldiers have used to defend Britains freedom and after the war they were not allowed to participate in the victory parade.
@@corneliussulla1313… I notice that Poland wasn’t expected to pay Britain’s bill for a war that they entered to defend Poland’s freedom.
What about Narvik, Norway? The allies left without a word of warning, both British and French soldiers
Yes, there is that, I decided not to include it as I thought it was outside of the focus time frame of Post-Dunkirk. However, that does open up space for a pt.2 arguing the opposing view.
"Finally we have miscellaneous and section equipment" "A Cat"
Well done young man!
Thankyou very much, it's amazing to see that after 3 years, people are still watching this and enjoying what I do! Hopefully will have some more up soon!
Glad to see you posted. As a fellow Napoleonic reenactor its good to see 👍

British, your jacket is too short, if you raise your hands your navel will be visible.
