I'm ex army 60s 70s & will enjoy this & I can't help myself picking out faults in Army etiquette & rules & regs ie saluting without a beret\cap on (you don't but stand\sit stiffly to attention. Ok Staaaaand at Ease!
@@petehall889 this looked a good Troop. Colour. Sadly this past 20yrs Troop. Colour is not good, loads of squiggly wiggly lines. Why the RSM thinks this is ok I don't know but it has gone to the dogs somewhat. North Korea & China massive blocks & utterly perfect. RSM BRITTAIN where are you!
@@seltaeb3302 I agree. I remember the film 'They Were Not Divided' (it's on RUclips). RSM Brittain represents better times "Never seen anything like it in me life!"
@@seltaeb3302. N Korea and China March in very close order which makes it easier. But I do agree with you about the wiggly lines. Even in the Royal Engineers we would have been going around all day if we looked like that. I forgot that the Chinese and Korea have handy lines painted on the ground every few paces.
I think the actual footage of the troop is 1957 when the Irish guards trooped as this was the first time that the Queen rode ‘Imperial’ ..3bb GG trooped in 1956. The troop was a bit arse about face… Cavalry don’t ride past until after the Foot Guards and the Colour isn’t trooped near the end! A shame as some of the attention to detail was pretty good, especially for us ex Grenadiers the use of ‘Sarn’t ‘ and hipes instead of arms!
Hello there! A couple of questions from someone who is not a Brit and (even worse!) never served in the military (poor eyesight). A) What do you mean by "hipes instead of arms"? B) Don´t you think that story (or script) was fairly week and the acting quite awful? Michael Powell (the film director) considered it "the most inept piece of filmmaking that I have ever produced or directed." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen%27s_Guards_(film)

Yes, notice this too - detail not difficult to get right, as it's jolly basic stuff...

And these people should have known as lots of them were in the war or at least conscripted at that time.
