Fat, dumpy little women waddling along in formations like this makes a mockery of the whole thing. Many Guards parades are nearly ruined in the same way. Yes, bands have to accept all types, but if you can't maintain a military bearing, better not to show up at all.

Like a scene from a Monty Python film. What a load of disingenuous patriotic bullshit and propaganda. To celebrate the invasions of the middle east and the murder of civilians is a disgrace. The freedom of dewsbury ? Big deal.

One last B Coy shoult out. My B Coy on N.I. Ops. S&B kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5ifaqmWz9jHYmQ.html This video is crap quality but it's what we had to deal with back then. Before we get the armchair crap I just want to say that there are members of my Coy in this clip that took thier lives due to what ever reason they had and others that were killed in other ops. During this 6 months UK op, over 120 people where killed from both the military and civilian population. Please show respect or say nothing. Thank you.

Folks, I can understand people who like to think they know stuff and comments are always welcome. But when a civvy is trying to tell someone who served Queen and Country, did active service and lost brothers/Riflemen back then and still now, then I really draw the line. Sorry to rant about this on here but this is due to comments from @Jack X. Nobody should have to defend what they have been trained to observe or do, to anyone. Right now ex service men and women are already going through enough mental trauma and don't need to face this type of silly abuse. All military past and present love a bit of banter and light hearted commenting on stuff is always welcome. Just don't go to far folks, like some individuals on here. For those in the cloth, S&B (7 Plt, B Coy, 1 RGJ).

Andrew J Reading: I am mightily surprised that no present or past squaddie hasn't replied to your post. The Light Infantry, as the name suggests, go into battle lightly armed and equipped and can march quickly. Their quick march is actually at jogging pace and is a sight to behold. TBH it looks bizarre on ceremonial occasions. I had the privilege of seeing 3 Yorks receive the Freedom of Keighley some years back. In recognition of the Freedom the soldiers are entitled to march with "fixed bayonets". I tell you now that there were some tears amongst the spectators when the order "FIX BAYONETS" was given by their Commanding Officer. I believe, although I stand to be corrected by those that know better, that Freedom allows drums to be beaten. Musicians receive normal basic training and are also trained as stretcher bearers for battle duties. Have any of you ever tried recovering a wounded comrade from the field of battle while under fire?

@@jackx4311 Gosh, that was harsh. I am not a yank but from East London and also ex 1st Battalion The Royal Green Jackets (The Rifles). In the regular battalions it is not possible to go on parade with your Nr. 2s (the dress they are in on this clip) in that state. It would mean jail time. Plus at the same time, given my 22 years in the military, I can spot the difference between an active fighting group of men and a non active. The blokes in that clip clearly do not carry out the weekly, monthly and yearly combat training and fitness test. I guess you would need to be Infantry to spot other infantry. But anyway Jack x, thank you for your observations. Let's try again. Clearly not Recce.

@leobruce71964 жыл бұрын
Rifles march at 140 paces a min, whereas the typical British march is 116 paces a min; so it does seem a lot quicker. It dates back to when the Rifles were used as skirmishers, so were therefore nimble and swift, so this is reflected in their drill.

These are members of the light division. The marching pace comes from the need to provide assistance on the left and right flanks during historical battles. They had to move fast and fire accurately, not like the standard block formations at the time firing volleys of rounds. So the tradition was kept till the present day.
