Absolutely marvellous. It hasn't changed has it? My son has done the trooping twice. What a wonderful tradition. I wonder how many of these soldiers died in WW2.
My wife’s grandfather paraded with the whole 2nd Canadian Division for King George V in 1915 before they left the UK for France. He was with the 31st Bn CEF (Alberta).
Wonderful seeing this old footage
The drill movements are different to today, they do not raise their legas parallel with the ground, all the guards are of a simular height. There are a lot more guards on parade.
??
Considering that they did away with height restrictions some years ago, that is puzzling to read. Their heights are divergent now. They were far more equally tall then.
@@indrajitgupta3280 isn't hat what I just said, it's an old video?????
How do they 'raise their legs parallel with the ground'?
@@lawrencelinehan4602 by bending the knee, the top half is parallel, and the bottom half, the piece lower than the knee, hangs vertical.
@@peterbrown1012 oops, sorry, I thought you said the exact opposite. Damned complicated language! Why can't you speak Urdu instead? Things would be so much clearer.
very impressive parade
Wonderful
When the brigade of guards were the best in the world for drill and marching,
King George V took the salute at 68 years of age. Well done.
Some of these blokes would have served in both world wars.
strange to see how much the foot drill has changed since this was filmed, the arms are swung only waist high and the knee is only half bent unlike todays guards drill. the arm is swung shoulder high and the knee is always bent with the thigh being parallel to the ground before the foot is driven down to the ground in a smart and solider like manor. up the micks
and wearing full combat webbing with backpack and bumroll
The Empire strikes back
Did they though?
Better days till the yanks took over the world and mucked things up
👍
they also used my march.
The drill and standard today is not on a par.
1:21 is the Austrian March Unter Dem Doppeladler.
The march at minute 4:00 appeared also in the movie amadeus. Very interesting...
That is because it is in fact an aria from The Marriage of Figaro.
Bend and drive?
But every bit as Bollo as today. Much prefer heavier percussion of the numbers of drummers.

King George 5th
Germans marches are so much better, not only the music, but also the drill and the uniforms. UK still my favorite after Germany.
Both the UK and Germany have great military traditions, uniforms and marches. I honestly prefer more traditonal uniforms (such as the British Household Division's uniforms) for ceremonial purposes.
i hate fascist goose stepping
@@PotatoSalad614 Goose stepping goes back to the Prussian Army of Frederick the Great - who utilised the discipline of his army to great success. It became a staple in German Military Tradition and as a result it was adopted by those inclined to fascist ideals.
Nowadays, german marches are not much, however the prussian march tradition is best continued by Chile.
