An underappreciated point...the blokes dressed up as toy soldiers are the very same as those deployed in warfare...and the Scots Guards have been in active service since 1642.
Yep, read up The Falklands War and their part in the final assault that was hand to hand, bayonet stuffing gore. Brave men, scary men and accepting of their job like true front line hard soldiers, some dreadfully wounded but they just lay down uncomplaining, rolling a ciggie or smoking a ciggy until help arrived but telling the medics to see to their mates first as they were worse off then themselves. Heroic brave stuff, really it was.
Yes mate, everybody in Scotland speaks Gaelic as a first language, haggis roam the hills and of course I remember your great, great grandfather who emigrated to Canada in 1893!
How can you be taken seriously when all your trousers at half mast? Is it a legacy of getting rid of Master Tailors? If the Sargeant Major's or Drill Sgts trousers are the same as as they are in this clip then what hope is there? As a Scots Guardsman I was taught that when stood at attention the front of the trouser should rest on the second lace hole of the boot thus forming a natural break in the crease. That's the second lace hole from the bottom, not the top. The Sargeant carrying the Colour at 22.12 needs his arse kicking, he is the worst offender. He might as well be wearing shorts or dispense with the socks and call himself a hipster . The black guy far right at 22.15 and the Sgt far left at the same time have just about got it right, and all of the officers. When these lot start marching they will look comical. As for the fit of the tunics the less said the better. Sad times.
Sad times? they are more probably concerned with Operations and commitments, the days of a bored Army with nothing much to do other than a NI tour every 2 years are long gone.
Magnificent performance by the Foxtrot Company Scots Guards

F Coy served with the Micks in Hong kong '70-72 Brilliant lad's
They were part of the second battalion then mate..now no second battalion so they are usually new guys ..hence all the Guardsman lacking medals.

Yes. F Company carries the Colours of the old 2nd Battalion.
F company was in 2nd battalion I think and is now the public duties company in the first battalion.
Do they speak Gaelic still ?
No that's a very old language that Scottish and Irish use to speak
No it's rare too hear someone speaking it up here.
Yes mate, everybody in Scotland speaks Gaelic as a first language, haggis roam the hills and of course I remember your great, great grandfather who emigrated to Canada in 1893!
Tailoring is fucking embarrassing. Standards are abysmal...... All feels very diluted.....

I Agree. Their trousers are too short.
Sad times? they are more probably concerned with Operations and commitments, the days of a bored Army with nothing much to do other than a NI tour every 2 years are long gone.
Though of course smart turn out and drill is the foundation of battlefield discipline.
Junksleeper is a walt

Akeem Ori-Orison - paid money on the right
