    I was living in Malaysia with my family (Australian) in 1975 just after the fall of Saigon - Dad was in the RAAF. I met an Australian Army Infantryman from Lavarack Barracks in Townsville, who was doing a stint with his mob 2/4 RAR at Butterworth Airbase at the same time. Long story short, we got married on base and we had the Battalion Pipers pipe us in and out of the Chapel and playing at the Wedding Reception - they wore the exact colour kilts as the Pipers in this clip. Thank you for raising the memories from a very special time.

      It isn't the Marines who guard the Tomb. It is the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment of the United States Army, "The Old Guard", who stands watch over the Tomb.
      The Old Guard is the oldest active regiment.

      @@Leland-y1d Well you're an imbecile, because I've lost count of the Military Bands I've seen performing at Passing Out (Graduation) Parades, Football games, visiting other countries for Anzac Day or Remembrance Day.
      As for lost ? If this is a reference to the War of Independence, you better brush up on your history. You only won due to the assistance of the French Naval Blockades, preventing re-supply.
      You were late to two World Wars, but want to tell everyone you won them. Korea was a stalemate, Vietnam was a loss, Kuwait was left unfinished, Afghanistan was overun after an occupation of 20 yrs, Invading Iraq was the dumbest thing since Hitler invaded Russia.
      The British were actually lucky to get rid of you.

    Thank you for these educational videos. As I understand, these soldiers are defending the sovereignty of us, the people and so deserving of the highest respect. We used to respect our ‘bobbies’ but whose aggressiveness is now less deserving. We pay their wages - even the traditionally British ‘Make Way!’ might sound better than a coarse ‘Get back!’ (Even if it is a naval order).
