This video just popped up on my selection today. But i have heard of Stewart McLaughlin and am aware of his brave and selfless leadership during the battle of Mount Longdon. He deserves nothing less than a Victoria Cross for his actions despite 42 years having elapsed since the event and his death.
I was attached from Sherwood Foresters (Ilkeston) to 23 PFA, Gornji Vakuf 1996. They were a good bunch apart from the odd stab hater. Hated losing my SUSAT though to ironsight. Unit photographer/ambulance driver... was then attached to 1 AFA when 23 left, and they were the worst unit I ever met.
I was on that square back in 1976 the RHQ block, training wing as was then and Sgts mess still look the same as does the Drill shed. Brings back some memories.
Why doesnt the british army cater to minorities? its still nothing but white people despite britain being one of the most diverse nations on the planet. Come on britain you can do better
Can’t understand this the citation was wrote, that’s the most important part. If it’s lost, so what,it had been written and everyone knows that so therefore should be upheld. Absolutely crazy it’s still taken this long.
Hi there, we are a local family and would like to help with the restore the bench and possibly replace the one that has gone. If there is a good way to get in contact with yourselves to let you know how we can help, then please let me know.
I'm digging the old school Paras ... Pot-Belly Stallions! Much respect from a veteran of the American 75th Ranger Regiment (and Pot-Bellied Stallion as well). Sua Sponte men!
Save anyone a major headache. You'll wait what seems a lifetime listening to the most boorish yammering and then when the jumpers away, they just zoom all the way in blurry and white. You see nothing else. Lame and horribly crappy jumpers.
P Company is a Massive Achievement for the Fittest Soldiers Only. I was a trained infantryman that couldn't get past P Company; P Company sadly isn't anything about jumping from aircraft & more about being an elite small unit, that in the modern theatre of battle makes them undermanned & take to many losses. All infantry Regiments should have the right to go to Brize Norton. The Maroon Beret has over egged the job in hand making it a small elite band of Rightfully so proud brothers. Sadly P Company is an injury waiting to happen.
Not one response no problemo, yer all transmutants willingly, say goodnight, oh BTW yer all preying on each other draconian vampires, but sure generic entity doesn't care, right... no problemo, thanks for you're help. Just fyi, this was you only, really
Parachute regiment is compromised. I know I was at Catterick barracks! Where I was attacked of a escalation of what was attacking I before going there in 2017 Athens platoon, where there was a Saudi Arabian asshole laced with bioweapons upon the molecular in the platoon! And when a barracks in Saudi Arabia is something more than just diplomacy! Read what I have written!
Don't forget us Junior Para Company Guys back in the day. Malta Bks Aldershot. 1971-1972.and before. alot of guys went on to the Para Regt 1-3 personally i didnt. i did jnr but after all the log runs across long valley.I then went on to be a Sapper for 22 Years. better digging holes with a machine than a shovel lol
45 years after my pass out parade, the HQ building and the parade shed are still there unchanged. No expense spared in today's army. Also, our marching and movements were all in silence (piss man), no orders given.
Why is the WO1 (RSM) wearing officers gloves? Have Regimental dress regulations been changed, or is he just 'coming the capers' because it's slightly chilly?
@@Fbo194 Not in The Parachute Regiment old son! At least they didn’t when I was RSM in 1997-9! And they didn’t when I completed my 28 years of service!!
Just checked ADR out of interest and it says for PARACHUTE REGIMENT: "29. Accoutrements WO1s: Sam Browne belts are to be dark tan in colour. Sword frogs are to be worn at all times with the Sam Browne belt. WO’s and SNCO’s: Red worsted sashes are to be worn by all Warrant Officers Class 2 and senior NCOs Red silk sashes are to be worn by Warrant Officers Class 1. " So apparently it's either a Sam Browne belt or a red sash! @@billperry7549
Best Reg in the world...just a shame it's represents a country that's becoming more of a shithole third world country on a daily basis....I served with 1 Para in the 80s and if I knew back then what was going to happen here I would of never served....I did enjoy my time though
Great to see some berets being worn as traditional, not as flat hats. I do think camera operators should be required to wear something smart. The bloke who goes out to film the inspection really is a scruff bag.
Hello. My name is Alistair Young and I am a teacher from Bradford. I am starting to create my third educational video related to teaching young people about the importance of remembrance. I would like to do a section on the incredible sacrifices made by our military services and would love your help if possible by allowing me to use some of this incredible footage with appropriate crediting of course. Thanks so much
