0:30 poor guy almost messed it up
Wait for it WAIT FOR IT!!!
Hahahaha
DONT PRE-EMPT THE MOVEMENT
听到预令的时候就动了，常见的错误
Those more likely to mess it up are placed at the back for obvious reasons. Though in this case he was more conspicuous to the crowd behind
That drill was smooth. World class.
Yep back row 3rd from right would have got a bit of stick by his NCO once back at barracks 😂😂 I have done this only Once during my military service. You only do it once and NEVER AGAIN 🥴 Believe me!!
Wow, when did you do your military service?

My father was an officer in the Scots Guards London at the time.
As an RAF air cadet I can confirm you do this once on a parade, get bollocked for it, and never do it again 😂😂😂
Don't anticipate the word of command
I note that they stamped out ( yes, I know) that little "cow kick" as it was called sometimes and replaced it with what we see in drill today. The knee is bent and the foot is raised 12" and then stamped down.
My dad was on Royal Engineers reserve in 1939,and was called up to train recruits.
He landed ,with the Americans on Omaha beach on D + 2 at the age of 45.
Good drill. Poor guy at 0:30 was cramming as we call it now. He knows what command is coming so wants to act automatically haha. In the South African military they hammer us to wait, wait, wait for the executional part of the command.
I think up until then, the command "turn" was absent, hence why he confidently turned at the command "right". Someone else commented on this too
I wonder how many of those young lads survived the war?
So on November 11 last year I watched the march past after the Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa. I saw various CAF, the RCMP contingent, RMC cadets and some visiting West Point cadets. I can only assume they are, all of them, neither taught nor expected to march in the way these men of 1939 could do. Which is odd, since as recently as a decade ago they all could and did.
Learn the arms drill with Lee Enfield in Irish reserves in 1989, my dad trained with it in the 50s
Ardofar arim
What are you shiting on about?
Remarkable to see, Belgium switched to this type of drill in that period as well.

Wellington Barracks is in Whitehall, not Shropshire. Had it been a Shropshire baracks it would have been The Kings Shropshire Light Infantry
I think the top three armies with the best looking drill and ceremony of the 20th century (and not in order) are Germany, England, and France. The Soviet’s and the Americans still are alterations and adaptations of the former three. The British position of Slope arms and commands “By the Right! Quick march”, the German Parade Step (what’s erroneously called a goose step) just have that snap to them I love so much.
I've served in the new zealand army and currently in the us army and I can say ..... American drill sucks , even the very best is cringy at best .
When you say England, you mean Britain, don't you?
That's like saying Germany is Bavaria.
You should check out the Chilean Army on parade, using drill passed on from the Prussian Army, with their Officer Candidate School in pre WW1 style full dress uniforms. D
@@callumgardiner8469 you know it's bad when you'd prefer Commonwealth Navy drill to a foreign nation's Army drill
Fella at Back. Right turned b4 turning right. In RN that's 7days no9s and very least a full kit muster. If this was during training slightly forgivable in early days. Thereafter a Cardinal sin.
@ 0:30 "Wait for it....Wait for IT."
Stand still that man.
I wonder how many of those men made it through the war.
Is that drill team or is that regulars? Cuz that drill is honestly top-notch. So much better compared to modern times.
Regulars.
A Guards regiment to be precise
@@ridge2542 Seriously? Damn… the drill regulations must have been way different back then…
@@Canadian-Asian-dude well, they are Guards afterall
@@ridge2542 true
खुब डिर्ल की है NCC में अच्छा लगा आभार
0:31 'Wait for it'
I would be corporal jones 😮
When did drill move from a donkey kick to a knee high stomp
After the war with National Service when they used drill as a means of occupying large groups of men who really didn’t want to be there.
It was also the adoption of high levels of “bull” across the Army and not just in the Brigade of Guards.
The main reason why the Army moved from Four Ranks to Three Ranks was because of the motor car which could overtake marching troops easier.
The 1930’s also saw the beginning of the change of foot drill (from what we now know as “Navy Drill”) and the evolution into the modern “Bend and Drive” foot drill, extra check paces eg coming to a Halt. Other changes included the dropping of saluting with the left arm if an Officer was passing to the left or if you right arm was injured.
I was Staff at the All Arms Drill Wing and School of Piping at Redford, just to explain why I know this!!!
All the best!
@@bugler75 Drill Staff, bane of my existence haha. Thank you for the information, its very informative.
@@TheColonialGamer131 It wasn’t so bad when you weren’t a recruit! At least you could have a beer in the evening before retiring to your lines to repeat the correct commands with the regulation pauses for Guard, on the right, form squad, whilst trying to remember have you changed direction or form or both as the DS is in your ear and wondering is the command Forward given as the left or right thigh is parallel with the ground!
To be honest, I’ve forgotten!!! 😂
All the best to you mucker!
@@bugler75 You too
@ 0.31 Wait for it, wait for it,
New drill? So what was the drill before this.
They were likely following great war era drill regs until 1939 when they changed the drill regs to drill that we're more familiar with today.
People saying that modern drills not being as smooth as previously in the British army, this is because drills were far more emphasised in older military training than nowadays, really it's a Napoleonic concept that was intricate to how soldiers fought, where now it is purely a parade expectation, modern soldiers are taught to be independent and specialist, which takes up a lot more of their training and time than being near perfect at parade drills, the necessaties of modern warefare.
Well, the real purpose of foot drill is to teach soldiers, sailors and aircrew how to instantly execute orders without question. Plus, when on parade, they appear to be a disciplined, cohesive and uniform whole.
@@stevestruthers6180 Not that I disagree, but modern militaries are all about specialist roles rather than overall uniformity.
@@Active_Sun_Particles I agree, I was just pointing out the original purpose of foot drill. Most modern-day soldiers, sailors and aircrew are more independent, self-motivated, and self-managing today than they were in the past. So there is a trend towards de-emphasizing the importance of foot drill in day-to-day activities and relegating it to mostly ceremonial purposes.
@@stevestruthers6180 The concept is the same, I agree, soldiers need to be able to rush into their actions/orders in a quater of a second to be considered combat effective.
British army was very small and weak in 1939 !
Like the Chinese and Russian armies in 2022.....
@@nomis777 No... :'-))
Where is the Wehrmacht in 2022 ?
Relatively speaking, as a mostly non-conscript force for an island country. Still, by today's standards it was pretty large:
"In September 1939, the British Army had a total of 892,697 officers and men in both the full-time regular army and part-time Territorial Army (TA). The regular army could muster 224,000 men, who were supported by a reserve of 173,700 men. Of the regular army reservists, only 3,700 men were fully trained and the remainder had been in civilian life for up to 13 years.[11] In April 1939, an additional 34,500 men had been conscripted into the regular army and had only completed their basic training on the eve of war.[12] The regular army was built around 30 cavalry or armoured regiments and 140 infantry battalions.[13] The Territorial Army numbered 438,100, with a reserve of around 20,750 men.[12] This force comprised 29 yeomanry regiments (eight of which were still to be fully mechanized), 12 tank and 232 infantry battalions." [Wikipedia- British Army in the Second World War]
It's much smaller now.
@@JabuLICORNE Bro the Wehrmacht is dead, it’s now the Bundeswehr. Smartass.
@@JabuLICORNE Sure showed the werbs whos boss in 1944
Gott strafe England.
