I served 3 years in Coldstream Guards 74 to 77 Chelsea barracks , Wavel Barracks Berlin , 2 tours of N Ireland . Loved every minute of it would go back now if they would let an 64 year old man !!

I served in the Coldstream Guards 1963 to 66, did the Ceremonial duties and the Aden/Radfan campaign 1964/65. The Regiment has fought and won battles since it’s formation in 1650, don’t believe sarcastic comments from guys who probably weren’t tough enough to take the discipline. Regimental Motto, Nulli Secundus.

All these comments on the video… mate you did 3 years and probably at national service so you had no choice to join

@@Mrluke2807 National Service ended in 1960, I joined in 1963 at the Army Recruiting Office in Newcastle, it was either find work down the mines, in the steelworks in the shipyards or on the land, I thought I would try the Army. Things were very different back then than they are today and in some ways a lot better and look at all the soldiers, all fit, no pot bellies and no fatties in sight not like today’s generation.

This brought back memories for me, my Father was RSM in the Scots Guards based in the Guards Depot in Caterham,we also lived there and as a child we were allowed to use the swimming Pool in the depot , my parents were married in the Guards chapel, The depot closed down and was moved to Pirbright And the last time I went to Caterham I went to see where the depot was and it’s now a Tesco,s and a car park ! !

It's a sort of transitional phase. Happens whenever they introduce a new service rifle. It's even happening now, albeit the difference isn't so obvious, they're changing from the L85A2 to the new L85A3; the only obvious difference to the layperson being the colour.
