The Lee Enfield with that bloody great bayonet on the end was very impressive, gleaming in the sun !

I am old enough to have drilled with a Lee Enfield and an 18 inch bayonet. Looking back at my old photos we weren't half bad!!

The only difference between then and now is the number of soldiers on parade.

figjam 59 not only that, but how they look, how they march, how they did their drill were very much better back then compared to now, now there are fat guards in parade, and marching now is done in the sloppiest manner ever, they dont do it like the era in this video again

except most soldiers who do it now a days are real combat soliders.

@@RoniiNN that is very much true. All of the guards regiments see active service or have done in Afghanistan and Iraq. Most of the battalions of the regiments are out seeing combat at one time. It's what their job is. Drill also looks much better now than before in my personal point of view.

@@patriot4786 I disagree. The marching apppears to be slower in this video, and the guards don't appear to be raising their arms in line with their shoulders.

Fabulous to see the continuity of excellence in the Guards then and now, the music reassuringly familiar, but one difference that does strike me is the length of the bayonets, plenty of gleaming steel on parade there. Rather sadly I am sure many of these men didn’t see the end of WW2.

Or possibly a thought whilst playing with your train set? Or passed on information from a bloke you once met in a pub who worked in a supermarket? Do tell.

@@davidgray3321 While I might make some claim to being reasonably well researched, I don't claim to have been a serving soldier, nor would I wish to be for the "You-kay". What exactly would I be fighting for, increasingly a foreign country which has no connection to the one my descendants helped to build. Our economy was certainly more real and far better in the 1930s. Our military wasn't a bad joke either in those days. We had a culture to speak of, and religion hasn't yet been pushed out of society. Ditto the criminal justice system and the education system. In exchange for all of the above we've become a more diverse and democratic society. Whopdey doo.

@@sirhumphreyappleby8399 unfortunately, correct. This is a very bitter pill to swallow and is only now clear in hindsight. Many of these men were well intentioned, it was our elite who led us down the wrong path.

@@gazza2933 You know if you disparage the courage of the enemy you also disparage the courage of your own soldiers as well. If the enemy were as quick to run away as you suggest there would be no need of courage at all.
