Absolutely love the light infantry marching bands. Father was in the green jackets and great grandfather in the Royal Enniskillen light infantry.....

Both the Rifles and the Gurkhas seem totally focused on the process of killing the enemy in their marching style. I read a description prepared by them why they march so much faster than other regiments, and why they have 'the double'. Apparently it is because they can move faster on the battlefield than other forces and it allowed them to outflank the enemy. They are also noted to have marched 250 miles in six days during the Napoleonic Wars.

A question for any Riflemen here. I have only just noticed the Black Tunics among the Rifle Green. I have to confess that despite many many years observing our Rifles regiments I have not noticed them before. Are they only worn by the Buglers or is it to do with the many "new" regiments that now make up the Rifles of today?

Way too late reply but I think it's just the light. I reckon there are a couple of very slightly different cloths in there and it's strange - I only ever notice it in videos, not in real life, so there's some strange optical thing going on.

OK, dumb question from an American. [Go ahead, make the jokes... I'll wait :) ] Just how many regiments are allowed on Public Duties? That is to say, how many regiments guard Buckingham and Windsor? I understood why the RN were the guards a couple of years ago, but I've seen the Gurkhas posted as guards and even the 'Royal' Malay Regiment. Is there some rotation of units, or is it by invitation, or special occasion? Just a question from an old trooper who's stood more than one formal guard mount.
@misssparkles75205 жыл бұрын
this will tell you what to know, these are the regiments that normally guard her Maj,, but they have help , read the page, we even have Canadian/ Austrailian Malay ( they are part of the commonwealth) regiments during the summer doing guard duty as well and as yes the Rifles, Blues and Royals Gurkha's, Navy and RAF if too may of the Queens Guard regiments are out on deployment en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Guard

I'm sorry to say thjat the band and Bugles are not up to the same standard as in the old Light Infantry days. The deportment of the Band in particular is poor. And it looks like they are getting Chelsea Pensioners in to play as well.
@carlhicksjr84015 жыл бұрын
As an American veteran and as a reenactor, I've stood more than one formal guard mount and ceremonial and I heartily agree. We all look awful if the band is off or the formation is out of step. And I'm not particularly picky about it, but for God's sakes, it isn't that hard. Just 'follow the leader' to the beat. Even kids can do it.
