I missed my passing out parade as I did my basic training in the North Staffods in 1958 and on the passing out day we were on the ranges in the morning and I was called to the orderly room to be told I was being transferred to REME that day so I packed my kit and caught a train to Blandford to serve for 15 years in the REME.

For Recruits on a Passing-out Parade, the standard of drill from the Rifles was utterly shambolic. If, in the modern Army, only limited time can be committed to mastering drill, then the faster, more complex drill of the Rifles needs to be dropped. In the modern era, it never made sense to have two types of drill in the Army, anyway. It's time for regimental history to move on.

Excuse me asking, but what are your guy's headress called? It's not the same as a guards bearskin, just curious. Ex 17th/21st Lancer. Good drum Corps by the way.

@melbeasley9762 Жыл бұрын
@@chesterflyer Thanks for answering. I didn't know there was such a thing. Where did that tradition come from? Our headress is called a Chapka which is simply Polish for hat, but they were the first to wear the square topped cap. The plumes for OR's is horse hair. Officers have swan feathers. Just thought I'd share some info.

Sealskins appeared in the 1880s I think I have no idea why they adopted them but that full dress has survived in the regiment to see to the present day.

That's my granddad, Dick Taylor. He was a lovely man with a wicked sense of humour. At The Trafalgar Bay pub in York, there once was a wooden spoon hung over the bar in his honour - an award for being "The Biggest Stirrer"! We'd often play Scrabble together, and he would place down those awkward two-letter words only known to canny players with an expression of quiet mirth. He liked watching ships at the seaside, big band music, and kippers for breakfast.
