Great to see the often forgotten Lincolnshire Regiment represented. My great grandfather was 1st Batallion Lincolnshire Regiment on active service 1915-18
My great grandad and his brothers was in the Lincolnshire regiment in the first world war they could of know your great grandad could of even gone over the top together , its not forgotten m8 the regiment got amalgamated into the Royal Anglian regiment in 1964 becoming part of the 2nd battalion know as the poachers the battalion song is still the Lincolnshire poacher.
Steve, it was great regiment, a very proud history! Very cool to hear that your great grandfather was in the 1st Battalion! As the chap above said, the Lincolns are very much not forgotten, here in New England, we portray the antecedent 10th Foot, we remember these guys often!
Fyi the Lincolnshire regiment was amalgamated in two the Royal Anglian regiment in the 1964. Becoming part of the 2nd battalion of the Royal Anglian regiment know as the poachers the 2nd battalion consists of the following past regiments Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire regiments. The battalion song is the Lincolnshire poacher that was retained with the battalion when the regiments where amalgamated into the Royal Anglian regiment , A company is know as Lincolnshire company. I served in the 2 Royal Anglian form 03 -09 and my great grandad and his brothers served in the lincolnshire regiment in the first world war i believe it was the 4th battalion but i might be wrong on the battalion. A bit of point less information but i thought you might want to know what happen to the Lincolnshire regiment.
Still happy that the regiment exists at some level. In our AWI group as the 10th Foot, we used to have a grand connection with the Lincolnshire Regiment dating back to 1968, unfortunately as time has passed that’s faded away.
@uk firearms and airguns hey mate, have you heard of a book called the Saturday night soldier's? My great uncle was in the 4th thats all and I am currently building a website dedicated to lincolnshires military history
The early months of the war were mobile a quick moving, similar in how we might think of the Second World War, of course no "Blitz" and with the period's equipment. There's not a whole lot to compare it to in the 19th century, technology and weapon wise there are similarities, but it really ends there. After the Boer War British training changed, and they put these changes into full effect in the opening stages of WWI. There isn't much to compare it to in the 19th century, because most wars then had been colonial ones, at least of the British. The Franco-Prussian war was of course a European war, but tactically, it was very much of the century. WWI in many ways was a start of a new kind of war.
I have a friend or two who do British Indian Army, but I'm not entirely sure what they have for kits. We'd like to put things together with the Indian Army things, and we've talked about it, but right now, pandemic has kind of been in the way of everything, so who knows when that will occur 😔
Thank you, Neil! It certainly is missing, shame really, but unfortunately mine would look like trash! 😂 Not all of us are graced with the Kitchener genes 😂
@@TheFarOffStation I only meant a bit of British - American banter, no offence intended! I appear to have struck a nerve, and for that I apologise. KWAYp up the good work.
Well, the kit is of a British soldier on foreign service, so I suspect it shall make an little appearance at some point in the future, but most likely awhile since it's currently in an improvement stage.
@@TheFarOffStation Was it a reproduction bayonet ? U didn't show it so I was curious , also I think Britian had two different designs of bayonets so I was curious which one you had
@@jtnelson8828 I have a December of 1914 manufactured Pattern 1907! This is the most common version without the quillion hook, as they stopped being manufactured prior to the First World War!
@@TheFarOffStation if you live in HK be prepared to pay a decent amount for shipping via DHL but the blokes over there are very decent i ended up paying only 143 AUD for my pair of B5s and it arrived in like 2 weeks (i live in NSW Australia)

Why would you buy a repro valise for 40 quid when you can get a 1915 dated one owned by W E Stanley in the RMLI for 7 quid?😂 But in all seriousness original WW1 and WW2 valise a lot of the time are the same price or cheaper than the repro.
Well, however you got an original 1915 valise pack for 7 quid, you’re just luckier than the rest of us, that’s not quite the norm. As for Second War packs, in this country, they’re no cheaper, and I’m not entirely sure I’d want to trash an original.

B-but... this is not about the Far East! Reeee
Just kidding. Great video, as always! Fantastic bit of editing at 4:35
"Can I opt out of the WWI content" 😂
You might like the editing there, but in reality that's really just be being a moron 😂
Nice I am from Lincolnshire cool you did my local regiment. ❤️
Cheers, mate!
Now this is the height of fashion
And it's all been downhill ever since...
@@TheFarOffStation yep
This is making me so excited to start my 1/19th London/47th Divsion impression.
It’s going to be most splendid!
Great video, my Great Grand Uncle Tom Swain 6990 died 08/09/1914 fighting in Lincolnshire Regiment. Great to see how his uniform would of been.

Beautiful kit
Thank you!
Great to see another video for yours.

How was the fighting in the early months of the war before the widespread trenches? Did it closely resemble the 19th century?

Do you have a friend who can do British Indian Army WWI uniforms and gear ?I wanna see the outfit of the Gurkhas or Sikh regiments
I have a friend or two who do British Indian Army, but I'm not entirely sure what they have for kits. We'd like to put things together with the Indian Army things, and we've talked about it, but right now, pandemic has kind of been in the way of everything, so who knows when that will occur 😔
You should really do a NewFoundland Regiment uniform on the First day of the somme
I would if Canadian stuff wasn't so different...sadness
@@TheFarOffStation Tis' true, you'd need to get new patches and stuff, you still should do some Kit on the Somme. Maybe the 2nd Devons
Seem the good lance-corporal needs a haircut! Right turn left right,left-right straight to the regimental barber double time!
With pandemic year, I don't think the L/Cpl will be marching anywhere ☹️
He's too busy retreating from Mons for such things. 😄
Great video.
However one item missing is your moustache!
Thank you, Neil! It certainly is missing, shame really, but unfortunately mine would look like trash! 😂 Not all of us are graced with the Kitchener genes 😂
@@TheFarOffStation maybe Rob from Muzzleloaders can lend you his!
@@neilmorrison7356 now wouldn't that just be perfect!!!

Yes.
No.

German machine gunners when they meet the lincolnshire regiment : CHECKMATE LINCONITES !!!
Sorry i have to do that
I understand completely
@@TheFarOffStation i watch too much checkmate linconites
not a uniform but a death shroud.
Bayonet?
What about the bayonet?

If you want B2 boots go check out Isutler pretty good reproduction
I’ve seen Rifleman Moore’s video on them, they look pretty good, I’ll more than likely get a pair in the future. Do you have a pair?
