      Funny how that always happens. Correct me if I'm wrong here please but based on the red tunics and location I'd assume these are Scots Guardsmen. I think I recall from my London visit to the Scots Guard museum that their tunics feature the button configuration we see here. If that's the case, I'd also excuse a few slight mishaps. People tend to forget that there are two types of units in the corps of a military or paramilitary organization: parade units and action units. While the Scotts Guards definitely serve in many ceremonial roles, they are first and foremost a fighting regiment and always have been. I think those of us who aren't from Britain or especially the commonwealth think the Foot Guards regiments only serve to guard estates of the crown but these regiments saw combat as recently as Afghanistan and the Falklands. So being a fraction of a section or a half step off mark isn't going to bother me.

    Bit messy, but as an American the British adherence to drill still impresses me. In the US military, drill is not one of our strong suits (outside of the Old Guard and other such units). I know that I was never interested in a ceremony unless there was a grog bowl at the end of it (do they get grog after escorting the crown?). I did spend some time cross-training with the Brits and always had a blast with them. Great guys, good to work with and always had great motivation and spirit. Favorite army to work with, whether in training or on operations (the Germans aren't half bad, but they're so damn serious).

      When I was a young reservist in a Canadian Army reserve unit many decades ago, and preparing for our passing-out (graduation) parade we had special steel plates nailed to the heels of our parade boots so they would make a satisfying 'crump' sound when we executed drill movements like coming to attention, standing at ease, coming to a halt and marching. Foot drill in the Canadian Army is pretty much 99% identical to British Army foot drill and virtually all of the drill movements are the same.
      I remember that my parents came to see the passing-out parade and after we were dismissed, I was talking to my mother, who said she thought the sound of those heel plates was pretty cool.

      As a former reservist in the Canadian Army, I agree. But pretty much all of the drill movements, save for the 'make two ranks' movement are 100% familiar to me. If I was still in the reserves today, despite having reached the ripe old age of sixty-something, I wouldn't have much trouble executing the drill commands seen in this video. I guess that's why they call it drill, because the commands and movements are drilled in so deeply, you can't forget.
      One thing I thought was interesting was how the officer in command of the parade really didn't have to yell, he was able to project commands clearly with a normal, if a bit elevated tone of voice.

    Does anyone knows why there are some sergeants with white stripes, and others with golden stripes?

    • @alasdairbeaton2504
      @alasdairbeaton2504 3 года назад

      In the Guards Lance Corporals wear 2 stripes, Corporals wear 3 stripes and Sergeants also wear 3 stripes.
      The way to distinguish between Corporals and Sergeants is the colour of the stripes. Corporals wear silver and the Sergeants wear gold.
      Hope this makes sense.

    All these knockers have to understand why the standards in the guards have dropped, firstly when I joined 1985 it was at the guards depot Pirbright ran by guards for guards . Over thevyears recruiting has softened to allow lads in who wouldn't otherwise have got in . Secondly they moved the training to Catterick along with the rest of the infantry which has somewhat watered down the training . Todays lads wouldn't have hacked it thirty tears ago and that is why the standard has dropped . I noticed in my six years of service that the standard had dropped back then, moving with the times ? Maybe but at the cost of standards .

      I was in army 20 years ago, and you know when real officer or sergeant take command of company / squad
      If commanding person don't have charisma, all drill is useless.
