damn, he lived over 140 years and did not get promoted even once, but instead got sent from sergeant to a corporal right before WWII, hes a war hero who fought on juno, and they demoted him
This guy's moustache combined with WW2 Battledress is the most British thing I ever seen in my life
It seems you haven't seen my british father yet.
The Queens Own Rifles is Canadian! 😂 They even played The Maple Leaf Forever!
@@andrewcooper8155 Yeah, that's super British. Canada was a super British colony until after the Second War.
@@garrofwar148 By the time of WW2, Canada had been independent for over 72 years.
@@andrewcooper8155false, Canada was still technically under British rule until 1982 (maybe it was 85 not sure)
Blackened 1951 Pattern with BD looks smart as anything.
Iv got a pair of the cheaters if you would like
Great content by the way
@@ricksterarmstrong2590 nice
I absolutely love the 1885, 1910, and 1960 uniforms. The 1910 Parade Uniform is my favourite of the 3, I've always loved the WW1 collar.
I think the uniforms of the 20th and 21th century are very dull and boring
@@HerrKendys_Kulturkanal Не только ты
@@HerrKendys_Kulturkanal Yes, but that's the point. You don't want to be wearing bright colors in a forest when you are trying to blend in.

This was absolutely refreshing to watch.
The FN FAL from the 60s & the 1983 Paratrooper’s outfit were my fave.
Shame we're not allowed to have them in Canada.
@@pukalo Anyway to talk to the government to get them or what sort of firearms can Canadians now legally own?
I am also from the "FN" period.
I was surprised to see the trooper in Germany with an FN but still wearing a "Brodie Hat".
When did that change over to the American style helmet?
@@1anre There is a very long list of thousands of different models of guns that are prohibited by name, rather than dimensions or function, and the FAL is one of them. Aside from that, guns that are banned are:
- Full-autos
- Guns that were full auto but have since been converted to semi or manual action
- Handguns with a barrel length of 105mm or less
- handguns in .25 or .32 calibre
- rifles and shotguns that have been cut down to less than 26 inches overall
- rifles and shotguns that are greater than 26 inches in overall length but where the barrel has sawn off to less than 18 inches
- guns with a bore diameter of 20mm or more
- guns that have a muzzle energy of 10,000 joules or more
@@pukalo Jeez. That’s almost every type of weapon.
So you guys are left with single barrel or WW2 bolt action rifles now or ?
bro the frist one fenian raids shit was absolute drip like dam imagine pulling up in the 1800s in all black
Shoutout to that guys mustache, the real star of the video
1866 uniform looks menacing i love it
Great work! I’ve always loved to research up on Canada’s World War 1 history but I’ve lately liked looking back on some older wars all the way back to about the 1700’s
Being an American civil civil war buff and reenactor, 1866 is my favorite, but I do love WWI uniforms.
always love for the 1853 Enfield
@@theequalsgamer2074 I agree
Splendid video and Great to see the Northwest Rebellion uniform! Although the Queen's own Rifles didn't take part in the Battle of Batoche, they were in the Battleford relief force who saw action at Cut Knife rather then the Northwest Field Force who fought at Batoche.
I remember the olive drab when I first enlisted in 99. The web gear was the worst part, it never fit right. If was either too loose or too tight. And with the standard issue ruck sack at the time the butt pack would always push down and get in the way.
I joined in 07. It was nice having the CADPAT uniform but having every other price of gear be olive drab was annoying. My jacket had a bullet hole through the chest and back
I like the CADPAT design
1990s Canada still using a fabric cap badge. “ITS TRADITION!!”
lol we only use it for parade nowadays
I wish I had all these uniforms in my collection… especially the early ones so elegant
love from UK
Graham looks dashing!
I thought that was him!
Great job gentleman. Proud to be a rifleman, in pace paratus!
those moustaches threw me off.
I must say I really liked this video some of these uniforms look incredible the fourth one definitely my favorite.
Imagine the amount of effort to acquire these uniforms
Our museum opened in 1956 so we've had quite a while to be collection :-) Our most valuable object is the Tunic of Ensign Malcolm McEachren who was the first soldier of the QOR to be killed in action at the 1866 Battle of Ridgeway.
@@QormuseumOrgis it safe to wear such old uniforms? I often see museum staff handle these artifacts with gloves.
Wow this was fantastic, nicely done guys
Excellent video. Well done you guys.
High quality materials and workmanship. In times of war, you were only going to get ONE. Boots were of similar quality.
Excellent presentation.
this seems specific, but can you show the uniform of a reserves lieutenant in the 1960s? i have some badges of it from my grandfather but i would love to see the entire uniform put together
Great video!
You should end it with a squad of your QOR marching off at that ridiculous Rifles pace!
From 1966 onwards, they became to look more like the American counterpart.
With exception of that para uniform. Looks British, but with a Canadian twist. Quite the combination. I do like it.
Be sure you don't move around to much in the Para Smock or the snap fasteners on the pockets will fall off!
I'm surprised the studio lights didn't fade it to white!
Great! It's nice to see how military traditions are preserved and protected in your country! Respect from Russia! =)
Right back...Shayba Friends.🥅🏒
Russia.....
Very well done.
Glad you liked it!
Excellent representation and timeline effect of Canadian troops. Your impression details are superb! I do PPCLI for WW1, cheers! ❤ 👍
Love seeing the military history from the Canadian aspect. Can someone tell me the name of the first marching tune. This music was used as the theme for the Australian Rules Football TV replays as the opener in the mid 70s.
The intro music? As in the song that’s playing when the fenian raids dress come up?
@@forlegalreasonsthatwasajok7608 It’s the very first uniform and music accompanying it, yes it is the Fenian Raids👍🏻
Fantastic video, inspired heavily by Lion Heart Filmworks comparison of Civil War Uniforms and 100 Year Comparison of U.S Army Uniforms no doubt.
No doubt ;-)
Smashing!
The bayonets are just, beautiful !
Excellent video!
Thank you! Cheers!
The rifle at 4:03 is a Ross mark 3. Replaced by the Lee Enfield No 1 (at 5:33).
Приветствую всех. Отличный обзор. Ждем новых выпусков
Gents, great work. Not trying to be picky but the bayonet on the 1990's fighting order is on the wrong side. Fixing bayonets is done with the left hand so it needs to be on the left side of the web gear. My SM senses where tingling. Great work.
And don't forget, Reserve units were just receiving C7; initial version, no scope
Good catch thanks!
It's odd to see the Brodie helmet with the FAL. Something so associated with the world wars paired with a relatively modern weapon.
Guess the new "turtle shell" (forget it's actual military designation) type of helmet had yet to replace the old Brodie "Battle Bowler". completely.
@@commandingjudgedredd1841the turtle helmet in WW2 was the mk.iii, mk.iv postwar. Canada never officially adopted it but trialed it with the units involved with D-Day. A handful show up in Korea though those are likely borrowed from the Brits. The mk.ii “Brodie” was replaced in 1960 in Canadian service.
Good video but do a white background next time, hard to see especially the first uniform.
Noted!
Hey Man nice to see you here, i love your videos when the are in 1940 official report style 🤩
4:18 he winked at us
Thanks, from UK.
Very neat!!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
in general terms, quite close to the models used by the brits, as anyone could expect, BUT the newer Canadian smocks have a significant difference: size of pockets. That is one reason I do prefer the UK version, I use such garments as a civilian, for outdoors (trekking, fishing, etc) and I love these big pockets! Is there any reason WHY canadians designed these small pockets? (reminded me of the old Italian army jacket) It would be nice to see the navy uniforms also.
Awesome and beautiful uniforms 👌
Thank you so much
What's the music playing from 04:22 on the background of the WWI 1917 part?
When did the Canadians adopt the Martini Henry? The 1885 uniform was combined with the 1866 Snyder conversion of the Enfield. I know Canada also had the Peabody, but don’t know which regiments carried them.
If possible, could you post a video or playlist of all the music used in this video? Thanks.
We'll see what we can do. I can say they were all taken from an album created by the QOR band.
3:00 is Marching Through Georgia
I noticed two things. The fal rifle what's missing the base plate on the magazine and
the C1 smg looks like the Japanese-made blank firing replica. The cocking handle gives it away as does the magazine. MGC blank firing sterling
I was wondering if it was some kind of Trudeau magazine :).
I like the Red Force battalion one its just so good.
The Evolution of the moustache 1860-1990's
1:06 for some reason i like that uniform more then the modern ones
What’s the name of the March during the DDay uniform showing?
Can definitely tell the Canadian uniforms are quite different to their British counterparts quite nice honestly.
Also what's the music at 3:20
Bro that first one was very beautiful
I need a Canadian Pattern 02 field dress, do you know where can I buy a good replica?
Does anyone know the title of the march starting at 5:50?
I’m in tears
4:23 I didn't know that the uniform colour actually changed during World War 1. The later one has a green hue to it.
Great job gentlemen, excellent facial hair!
A question re the D-Day uniform, what is the white article wrapped around the torso? It looks a little like an "aim at me here Gerry" patch.
What was its purpose and what did the troops wearing think about it?
No idea what it was for either, but yes, it does scream "aim here". I can't imagine any soldier being happy wearing that on their uniform.
music from 5:48 to 6:26?
What is the first song?
Can anyone tell me the name of the march at 5:50?
Very nice, but I didn't think the QOR were at Batoche, shouldn't it be the Royal Winnipeg Rifles (90th Winnipeg Rifles at the time)?
The old red patch. The Queen's Own are elite!
Sick
I wish these videos were lit better. Details would show up better. Especially like the American Civil War videos.
is that canadian battledress i always thought canadian battledress was a darker cut than british versions.
Very expressive! US army more modern,but GB more traditional and more response in the soul.
It’s canadian. Not GB.
We’ve updated since the 90’s. But only the camo LOL
I don't why, when I look at he's face; It felt like he just came out form a time machine...
will there be a modern version?
There really isn't any variety in our uniforms anymore apart from dress and parade uniforms
We're considering a part two - although right now still under COVID restrictions so its not on the top of our list I'm afraid.
We used to call the Battle Dress uniform - WW2 - 1967, the itchy scratchy. They were made of wool. And did they ever stink when they got wet.
Love the look of the old Garrison jackets
2:57 is that “Marching through Georgia” from the US civil war?
Question, since I know but little on these things. You are the Queen's own Rifles of Canada, if and when Her Majesty passes, and England has a King, would you become the King's own Rifles of Canada?
No. We continued as The Queen's Own Rifles through the reigns of Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII and George the VI. And not that it would have any impact on our name but the current Colonel in Chief of the Regiment is Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who be given the title of Queen when Charles becomes King.
Music?
In ww2 uniform what do little chevrons on the right sleeve mean? Years of service or wounds?
Service
Was the necktie part of the field uniform in the 1960s? Seems really unnecessary if it was.
whats song is on 5:58
Wish they'd include the OG rifles
>Battle of Batoche, 1985. Damn, when did that happen? During the Cold War?
Anyone have the name of the marches from 0:00-1:44 and 6:29-7:29 please?
i think i might know if i do I'll be sure to tell you
I know your comment is already a year old, but did you ever find the marches? Especially the first one
Beautiful Ross rifle.
Two questions: What was the rifle in the Aldershot Parade segment? Is it still called the Queen’s Own Rifles when King Charles ascended the throne?
I love the 1944 w the sten!
1866 - 1885 personal favourites
Wait so let me get this straight it took the British until 1990 to look like an American soldier from the 1960s?
What's the song that starts at 2:40?
Marching Through Georgia
Are these all types of Canadian military uniforms 🇨🇦?
What is the name of the song that starts at 3:53?
I'm afraid we don't have the playlist the editor used but its on a QOR album somewhere...
Excellent uniforms!! 🇬🇧🤝🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿
Northwest rebelion guy's bayonet is more of a shortsword lol
A Ross rifle for WW1? Well done! An excellent weapon although proved not the best for trenches, mud etc….
It was a superb sniper rifle and a piss-poor infantryman's rifle.
@@abrahamdozer6273 Fact
2:38 pero qué haces ahí Paco!!!
i liked 1940 and 1944 uniform
7:51 Reminds me of CoD1 Captain Price xD
Where do you get your uniforms?
Most of them have been donated. Some of the ones in this video are also reproductions.
How quickly you forget how snappy old Canadian uniforms were. It's walking recruitment! Hell, even I'd join up!
