- As the first line of the British Army, it is in our nature to lead the way in times of change. The Royal Irish Regiment is evolving and we are excited for you to embrace these new times with our entire Regimental family. In this video, the Colonel of The Regiment explains the changes we are undertaking, including our new social media hashtag, #IRISHRANGER.
My brother aaron was proud to be a royal Irish Ranger #RIPAaron
From Coleraine?
@@jonwatson1372 yea
I went through Catterick with Aaron. Probably the nicest bloke I ever met. Everyone got on with him, and he always gave 100%.
As a Englishman I was adopted by D Coy, London Irish Rifles, 4 Battalion Royal Irish Rangers, Proud to have served...FAB
Only found out recently that my great grandfather was in the Royal Irish regiment from 1875 to 1893 in Templemore Tipperary, my own dad was an Irish soldier, served 6 months in the Congo with the UN, my father in law was in the Irish Guards
He was in the 18th Regiment of Foot 1684-1922 aka The Royal Irish Regiment. My grandfather was in the same regiment and joined in 1899 and served in the South African war and was wounded at Mons. The regimental depot was Clonmel at that time.
I wear my regimental tie with pride, I am English but did a three year tour with these fine people. if I lay awake at night, I can still here them singing even now, some 35 years later.
im irish from dublin, makes me proud
Why would you be proud of them? This regiment is the remnants of the UDR
Well said Lad, I'm a Dub and appreciate your comment.
Love that they brought in ranger media for this.
I was at Catterick when the Rangers returned there. We were confined to Barracks on the weekend they returned. For our own safety
I had the great privilege of knowing Dr Charlie Alexander M.C who was in the Royal Ulster Rifles at the Normandy Landings. He sadly passed away several years ago.
Like the GC was awarded to the RUC GC, not the other lot than appeared later
At last! Let it be known. It was an Irishman and regiment that got the first of boneys eagle! Officer on here has a very pleasant voice and delivery
My father was attached to them when they were royal Irish rangers back in the early 80 at their HQ in Ballymena. I was also an army cadet in the royal Irish rangers. Seperb regiment. Very family oriented. Just bunch of people serving. Out armed services second to none. So proud.
Go #IRISHRANGER Congratulations on your new branding!
Il always be proud of my regiment
anyone know where to get the irish ranger tab above TRF @ 3:07 ??
I’m from the ROI and can’t wait to serve with my Northern brothers in the Royal Irish Rangers
@Return of the Paddy I’d say you daor’d after 2 weeks at catterick
Gobshite!
puke. scum
This is fantastic. As a former infantry captain in the US, I applaud all of the courageous men and women of the Regiment for serving their nation in these challenging times. I’m also very happy to see the Regiment incorporating many aspects of their ancestor units.
I only wish that more military commanders would have the courage and ingenuity to incorporate more historically significant items into their units since it is an inexpensive way to boost morale. The USAF recently painted a few A-10 jets in WWII paint schemes such as with black and white “Invasion stripes.”
As we say in the US Army, “Rangers Lead The Way!” #RLTW! 🇺🇸🔗🇬🇧
Thank your for your service Cpt. ooha. We had bunches o those warthogs raining shit down on trg targets in Warminster/Salisbury, demo bat, back in 89/90...sum bit o kit. Respect.
You should be justly proud lads. Superb.

Is that a cookoo on your table, FAB.
I'd love to see the regiment going back to 'Royal Irish Rangers.' Truly unique.
Or the UDR real soliders
Can someone from Kent join the royal Irish
Yeah
Don't get Cofused about the CGC, it was awarded to the UDR CGC, not the other lot that came later,, when the troubles was almost over
I want to be an Irish Ranger . Up.to our necks in blood and danger....
Heart's well done! CAN, TELL THAT THE MEN SPEAKING WERE, ARE, AND WILL BE WARRIORS FOR LORD AND SAVIOUR CHRIST JESUS + HEAVENLY FATHER LORD GOD.... 🙏 🕊🐑🕊😇. Luke 1 v 69 - 73 KJV:
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
brave Irish lads doing their bit, they held from waterloo to somme, always will be respected
Anybody who served in the HS Battalions know fine well the the 1st and 2nd Battalions hated us and thought we were amateurs.....
Your correct pal, yet the rangers were full of war dodgers and English men cos they never served here till it was almost over, GARRYOWEN
I remember when i joined the army in 1988 it was a choice between the Royal Irish Rangers and Irish Guards i ended up choosing the Irish guards.
God bless 🇬🇧
I must say, some of the secretarian comments here from both sides of the Irish Sea are really disappointing.
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
Many Westmeath boys in the royal Irish?
I want to be a royal Irish warrior. 🇮🇪 ☘️ 🇬🇧 If only the Irish army conditions and pay was better.
#IrishRanger Clear The Way.
You Would See The World , A Band of brothers side by side Faugh a Ballagh
Only a subservient Traitor would join the British army.
@@DublinDan More Irish people have served in HM Armed Forces then they have the IDF. More Irish people have fought for HM Armed Forces then against HM Armed Forces 🇬🇧✌️☘️
@@noodlyappendage6729 it's not gross exaggeration millions of irishmen have served in the British army, in the first part of the 1800s directly following the acts of union over 40% of the entire british army was irish, even up until 1918 hundreds of thousands fought in it. hundreds of thousands of irishmen also died in the name of Britain. Some of the most senior British officials were Irish, Arthur Wellesley, Sir Henry Wilson, Kitchener among others. Irishmen won the most VC's second only to England.
It's rather sad that today their sacrifices are mostly forgotten even by those in the UK. The first posthumous VC winner of the first world war was Irish, the youngest British soldier to die in the war was Irish (14 year old boy from Waterford) the first to fire a shot in the British army was Irish. There is no shortage of Irish people even today joining up, and I say god bless them. We're lucky to have them.
@ballix4365 There’s no forgetting that here in the U.K. I think those who forget come from elsewhere. ❤️
@@yoda2937 Yep, but can’t see that happening. Sometimes you go so far down a path you can’t come back.
Home service colours taken away from the batt
Sad when the rangers was took from them wonder how they feel now the numpty Wallace had announced they’re will be a new ranger Btn 😩 where do these Whitehall numptys dream this up regards lion of England Sicily anthem glider troops along with r south Staffordshire brothers 🏴🇬🇧
Being from the west of Ireland I’m considering joining once I’m fit enough
William Quin. He is more than welcome. This kind of bigoted comment and naive way of thinking is not helpful or smart.
Fair play to you lad. God bless you.
I’m from Northern Ireland and my uncle was in the royal Irish and I want to follow In his footsteps and become a royal marine
I was in the royal Irish and I am from Dublin great times no problem where you are from we are all rangers together
I'm from the south and I'm joining up in October, cant wait.
I am 100% Irish and so proud to watch the Irish rangers!
Some of the comments on here from Irish & British are really disappointing. A trow back to troubled times, which I hoped were fading. My maternal Grandfather was English and was a Major in the British army & I have a maternal Great Uncle who is buried at Sandhurst. My Mother's family have Ulster roots. My paternal family are Irish through & through. I respect the history of the Royal Irish. Material family served. The Irish army is small. This joking about the Irish army is disrespectful to the men & women who serve & served in it. British people don't like their armed services disrespected so please don't disrespect mine. The history of our nation's are tangled whit hate, violence, anger, fear. We are entering a time when Northern Ireland's future is in the hands of the Security of State for Northern Ireland. If he/she feel the majority want reunification a referendum will be called, as per the Good Friday agreement. Ireland, the UK and all communities in Northern Ireland must use this time to understand each others fears. Should Ireland rejoin the Commonwealth? Should Irish be an official language in the North & Ulster Scotch in the South. 12th of July a national holiday in Ireland? What happens to the Royal Irish regiment if unification happens. It scares me what could happen if a referendum is passed and with no framework as to what happens next. People have valid distrust, on both sides. But in my view some of the comments on hear, only add to that distrust. Respect and learn, too much time has been wasn't.
Ireland will never ever re join the Commonwealth.This needs too be respected.One thing is for sure Ireland will unite,its the natural progression of any nation.It should of been allowed along time ago.It also has too be done peacefully as well.All traditions have too be redpected.Ireland will continue too be a member of the EU.Thats where we belong.
Those days are over when you think about it, we just have to move on together
Robert O'Meara. Though I can understand your thought processes I have to say you are wrong. The Protestant people of Northern Ireland don’t want to reunite. We don’t want to be part of a country that can barely govern itself. Without the EU and U.K. holding up your economy. You would be nothing. I rather be part of the U.K. for both patriotic and financial reasons.
@@abefroman8202 correct!
@@noodlyappendage6729 still butthurt about Ireland leaving the uk.😂
An Ríocht Éireann abú !!
Forget Gabala, don't try and confuse me because you got your rank and pay by promoting diversity above competence.
F.A.B.
One Battalion how sad is that
Hopefully there will be none one day.Sad that any Irish person would volunteer too be used by the British State in its illegal wars whilst jumping through hoops for the US.

To be honest the r irish done little do deserve the cgc it was mostly the UDR
It was awarded to THE HERO'S of the UDR not the other lit, never forget that
Turn coats
The Irish army doesn't even own a tank, the last one was scrapped in the 1970's, a British surplus WW2 comet and they could only fire it once a year as they couldn't afford the ammunition. The Irish rangers could defeat Southern Ireland's entire military on its own in a weekend.
True!
Best Joke I ever heard.Do some more research before you write such absolute nonsense.You obviously havent had much in the way of education.
Robert O'Meara. More than you Mick. Thick, butt hurt Irish clown. All you bums are good for is drinking and making jokes about. The IDF is a joke. A bit like you.
Faugh A Ballagh is the the battle cry for every Irishman wether the serve with either the British Armed Forces or The Irish Defence Forces, we both have each others backs,
@@abefroman8202 Abe I see you have class. Tell us about your life so far and your achievements. What is your ambition and how is that going? Otherwise we can only guess.
I don't get it.. Its proud to be irish but they don't fight for Ireland.. Their nation is UK..
So? Scotland’s nation is Scotland, wales is wales, you can be proud Irish and serve the British army. We were once part of the UK. We have a shared history.
@@user-vk8yq8oq7p ya but we are not now.
And our time under Bristisg rule want pleasant
Penal laws
The family of 1845
Land war
The executions of 1916.
If northern Ireland is apart of Britain why would you use the Irish shamrock for your armies I guess northern Ireland is really a part of Ireland enough said
@Abe Froman maybe you should not be taking about a country when you know nothing about you stupid clown
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not the isle of Britain which is a geographic term.
@@ore1692 you can never Owen what you steal ha ha and my understanding is it belongs to Ireland enough said
@@niallobrien1220 it does not belong to Ireland tho, they want to stay part of the United Kingdom.
@@niallobrien1220 If it's part of Ireland then why all the belly-aching? And as for your original point, the Shamrock is a symbol of Ireland (the island) not the Republic of Ireland only.
It would help Ireland out greatly if the Irish people from the royal Irish regiment joined the Irish army because they are very low on numbers. Nothing against the British it’s just I don’t know why they wouldn’t join their owns countries army instead.
Well, pay is a major problem. I have read far too many reports of solid soldiers having to leave the IDF because they just couldn't afford the bills, were almost homeless, or already were. When you have the minister of defence saying that soldiers can't complain about their pay as well... Honestly, I surprised they haven't been bit in the rear end because of it.
@@David-lu4gqExactly. Thankfully there is a bit of a schism going on recently between the minister for defence and the defence forces themselves. If you look at the news of google it should come up. Anyway it’s not the defence forces that don’t want to pay their fine soldiers, it’s the minister for defence. The army now want control over their money and the future for the idf looks promising. If all this happened then man power wouldn’t be such an issue. Also one last thing, they need to improve conditions for the soldiers. That’s another thing that drives them away.
@@precision2190 Well put. I'm thinking of joining the Foreign Legion, instead of the IDF when I'm a bit older (Go hard or go home right lol). Hopefully the IDF will have control over their own finances soon, as it is sorely needed. Have a good day. 🙂
@@David-lu4gq yes you to. Honestly for me I don’t care what the pay Is I’m joining. Arw whenever I can because I think it pays extremely well
@@precision2190 Best of luck to you lad, wishing you all the success! Which branch are you joining? I don't think they would be having such a recruitment problem if the pay was half decent, but hey ho. We'll agree to disagree lol. 😊
Should be really.. 'Royal Northern Irish Regiment' imo They're from a British based, trained and funded army. Unless they're interested in joining The Irish Army, are they proud to actually be Irish? are they truely Irish when serving in a foreign army whose serves under a monarchy. Debatable.. they are all actually Northern Irish, except when it comes to rugby, then they REALLY want to be Irish again (in otherwords, whenever it suits them) somehow I feel there would be a very quick u-turn, and they would be begging to be called something different, as opposed to serving in an actual Irish unit and the only one left would be the wee Dublin lad they managed to find for the video at the beginning, the last one left.
Why ask what you already know. Northern Irish are a British regiment. History goes back for centuries.. Ppl from Ireland were British and some apply to serve very happily in British army like their parent did in many cases
I am fed up hearing that Northern Irish, Ulster Scot Protestants have an all Ireland dimension to them and that they should embrace that.
And when they do,they are criticised, such as with the Royal Irish Regiment.
My view of modern Ireland is a socialist, papist state which bases its identity on an anti English, anti British platform.
Yet the Ireland of Patrick, a member of the Celtic culdee church, was indeed a land of saints and scholars.
Sad history just took advantage of the poor irish
@Flying goat Yourda yes you are
N.i regiment are no different than the British army. Soon we shall be united and no longer used as a weapon of war
@Abe Froman bet your raging theres a border down the Irish sea now
Well, that's very observant of you because they are, in fact, a part of the British Armed Forces.
