Half of the Monarchs Guard annual service is on operations and the other is ceremonial. When Coldstream Guards are concerned its the 1st Battalion and No.7 Company which are the two ceremonial as such units for them. Grenadiers its Nijmegan Company (the first of foot they were, but their rivals Coldstream (both being English regiments) is the oldest in the whole army.

There's a common misconception that British people don't care or understand what our military do. Nothing could be further from the truth. Do we take them for granted, yes to a point. But that's because we have high expectations and demands built on past standards. It's been that way for centuries.

If I remember correctly, all British armoured vehicles built since 1948 have the ability to make tea...its actually called a 'Boiling Vessel' and can be used to heat up food as well as make tea. Some time in the last few years the US Army adopted Boiling Vessels for their vehicles. All be need to do now is to get them to drink tea as well!

I was a police dog handler here in the UK. Things may have changed as a I retired 10 years ago but in general we do not duel train search and patrol dogs. German shepherds and Malinois are generally used for patrol work and other breeds for more specific searching: drugs explosives money etc. Our search dogs are very rarely duel substance trained. i.e. a dog would not be trained for drugs AND explosives. It is very much an either or situation. In answer to your question the military dogs cover military airfields, our civilian airfields are covered the UK Border Force / HM Customs. and the police cover almost everything else. I myself worked German Shepherds for police patrol work and a Labrador for explosive detection.

The reasoning for not using protection breeds for specialised detection work, as explained to me, was that protection breeds are perceived as aggressive and threatening by the general public which cisnt good in public scenarios like airports and train stations where you want people to pass close by without them thinking they are going to get their face bitten off, protection breeds can also be provocative in other situations, taking a malinois into a house or car to do a search is more likely to attract unwanted and possibly threatening attention than cute looking springer or lab.

The BV (Boiling Vessel) was introduced with Centurion Mk. 1 (the first Main Battle Tank), designed during WWII but introduced just after the war. It solved a tactical issue, the tank crews were at their most vulnerable when outside their tank “brewing up” (making a meal and their tea). All British Armoured Vehicles from MBT’s to troop carriers now have a BV. The US introduced them with the M1 Abrams.

He did a night drop in Wales with miuntauns and broke his leg. He stayed with us. I was a munchkin and he would sit me on the bar of the bicycle and we’d bomb around the neighbourhood.

One of these interviews told of one of the glider pilots being interrupted by one of his passengers paras with a mug of tea, he said thanks and on turning to his co-pilot he asked where the hell did he get the hot water, he was told” if you don’t want to see the water boiling fire in the back of your wooden glider don’t look”.

When I went to Germany, I was speaking to some Germans and they have the same problem, lots of unexploded British, American and Russian bombs from WW2 still turn up.

Hi girls. The first royal guard was a regiment of Cromwell's army that lay down their weapons in front of the returning King Charles II, & then picked them up again in his support becoming the King's Guard. This was on Horse guards Parade, where trooping the colour takes place every year on the monarch's official birthday still. The colour is the flag you see being carried. Each regiment has one & the gold decorations you see on it is an embroidered name of each war battle or action that regiment has taken part in over the years, many commencing in the 17th & 18th centuries. Occasionally new colours are needed, when there is no more room on the flag, they get worn out, units are merged & new regiments created. The colour is trooped through the ranks of soldiers so that they recognise their own & appreciate the history of the Regiment. It is sort of sacred like the Eagles of the Roman legions of ancient days. Great video girls. Thanks for your Respect. Cheers Dan.

Every single Armoured (and most unarmoured) vehicle in the British Army comes equipped with what's called a BV or Boiling Vessel. It's a water heater that is used for a number of things, including cooking food and, yes, making Tea.

The Border Collie is considered the most intelligent of dogs. They're used as sheep dogs & learn many skills from the farmers whistles. They train very well, hence their use in the military & airports etc. The name derives from where they originate, the Scottish/English border. They were exported all over the globe from America to Australia. A much loved dog breed ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸

As has already been mentioned, tea is very important, at sea, ashore, and across all the services. When I was a midshipman at Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, during our PLX (Practical Leadership Exercise) on Dartmoor, completing the assigned leadership tasks was, of course, important, but making sure that someone was detailed to put a brew on was not insignificant. A warm drink and the momentary pause to have it was good for morale and part of the three overlapping circles (Task - Team - Individual ) that we had to keep in mind. Well done on your videos.

Just a small fact about the challenger 2 tank, which is due to be replaced by the challenger 3 in the mid 2020's. During the war in Iraq, a Challenger 2 was subjected to over 30 direct hits from hand held anti tank weapons, there were no casualties and the tank was still operational. To date a Challenger tank has never been destroyed by enemy fire and only once by friendly fire, with no casualties recorded. Great video, so nice to see mutual support from across the Atlantic, we are truly better together. It makes a nice change from being lambasted about a colonial past that had nothing to do with present day Brits, by people that clearly know nothing about the history of the British Empire. keep these videos coming, they're great.

As a US vet, I only saw 3 dog breeds in service. Primarily the german shepherd which is sort of the general-purpose catch-all dog. The Belgian Malinois was pretty much the special operations dog of choice. The ones that I rarely even heard of but I did see 2 in service were hounds and they were specifically sniffing dogs bombs, drugs, people that sort of thing.

Yorkshire was the largest county in England, covering most of the North East of England from the middle of the Pennines east, and north of the River Humber and the Peak District. It’s now been split into numerous counties and authorities. It has flat, coastal plains in the East, perfect for WWII Bombers, to craggy, rocky hills and low mountains which are excellent for infantry training.

RAF Brize Norton is the main hub for military air transport. The RAF Police do the searches there, when troops come home. Civilian police do the same at regular airports. All three services have dog units, with different dog types matching instinct to role. My dog is a Belgian Shepherd (tervueren) who was an infantry patrol dog, using his protective instincts to identify threats to his unit and indicate them to his handler.

The tea making capacity is part of the "guns and butter" doctrine and its lasting effects on the British Army (Though i'd argue we're now also a shock and awe army). One of the first things they'll do is establish latrines and a mess hall in an area when they deploy and intend to stay, and being able to have a cup of tea whenever is also important. Moreover it was found to have psychological effects for pacification in Iraq and made the tank crews seem more approachable to locals when they made people tea while talking to them. There's also uses for boiled water beyond tea as a means of water purification and sterilization in a pinch.

A great tribute to the armed forces of the UK. To clear one thing up with the canines they are not routinely deployed to civilian airports as HMRC(Customs) have their own dogs and handlers. When I worked at Heathrow the army did take part in exercises but they had to be escorted by armed Heathrow police around the airport. And when I worked up in Yorkshire, I lived in Catterick Garrison, the biggest Garrison town in Europe. All of the barracks are named after famous battles and Vimy Barracks is the ITC barracks (Infantry Training College). Much respect for you both and your military families.

His boots saved my Great-Grandfather's life. He was blown up during The Battle of the Somme in WWI. Thinking he was dead (he was partially buried), another soldier went to take his boots and he moved. They dug him up, complete with rat hanging from his half eaten ear, shell shocked, but he made a full recovery and lived for a number of years. Would recommend watching Britain's Biggest Warship, season 2... there's a US ship in it too!
