KnightsbridgeStudios great grandfather was in 6th name: Captain Charles Guilfoyle. Boer war veteran and 40 when sent to Gallipoli he helped start the Australian army when he was sent over from Ireland he won the military cross after the battle of Pozières and dog tag number was '2' very interesting man he was
What a bunch of nit picking, disrespectful and ignorant SOB's. The Australian Army Quick Time is 116 paces per minute with a 75cm pace. These guys a members of the Australian Army Reserve, who volunteer to serve 1 day a week, and some weekends with a 2 week annual camp to a maximum or 100 days per annum, therefore, their valuable time is spent on their core soldier skills preparing for combat, not a bloody drill competition. They most like volunteered to attend a couple of extra Saturdays out of their own time to prepare for this parade, given this they have done very well. You should also keep in mind that a lot of these guys have actually seen active service so you should be thanking them for their service, not finding fault and disrespecting their service. It is extremely difficult to march through city streets and to keep the pace over long distance without a lot of practice, I know I did quite a few in my 25 years as a regular soldier in the Australian Army the last four as Cadre staff in an Army Reserve unit. Even at 64 I still march every year with my Corps Association on ANZAC day and I am very proud to do so even if my drill and marching is not as good as it once was. I would like to see you march 5 or more kilometres on an uneven road surface and maintain a even pace of 116 beats per minute while also trying to listen for commands over all the noise from a crowd and bands.So if you have not served in the Australian Defence Force it is best that keep you uninformed and ignorant opinions to yourself you don't have the right to criticise.
+LegionaryWithAGladius Strict marching isn't really enforced too much after basic training. As long as you're swinging your arms, marching in step and halting on the correct foot you're pretty much good to go. They have more important things to worry about and leave the showy drill to the Fed guard and bands.
+LegionaryWithAGladius Yes.....we can dazzle them in the battlefield with our parade ground ponce. Aussie soldiers rather fight anyday than march. Its just a sad true fact ever since ww1. No one has ever been in a hurry to change that. Poms didnt like the relaxed attitude...but never denied their ability to fight.
This is what I mostly do in school when it’s Anzac Day and eat Anzac biscuits there hard but everyone who fight in the war R.I.P your amazing keeping us safe and yeah 😢 🌹
Daniel Van de Leur it's harder than it looks, But I have to semi agree, Though it seems most of these men are reserves as some seem to be slight overweight.
If they would just decide what height they are going to swing the arm and stick to it - belt height, breast height or shoulder height. And get the kinks out of the elbows.
I've been watching to much Chinese military parades with their snappy marching... Aussie and kiwi soldiers have a real laid back approach to one of the core fundamentals of any military... Damn near looks like they're going a Sunday stroll... Lol...
Mate, these people are reservists. They come a few days a week, probably only committed a few Saturdays practicing for this March, so they’ve done really well in that respect. They are trained for combat, if you started forcing drill lessons on them they just wouldn’t show up. Keeping in step for kilometres on uneven road ain’t easy
There are two homelands. One is the Russian empire were our community and forefathers came from; and another is beautiful Australia, who accepted our flight from Communist persecution.
This is a bit surprising. I did some training with Aussies a few years ago. Only other riflemen I have any respect for. Everyone else are shitheads. But half of these troops are nasty fucking fat bodies with muffin tops or scrawny as hell. The dudes I was with were shredded as fuck; not a pound of fat on them. Most probably weighed 220-ish pounds at about a 6 foot average. And they drank me and my boys under the table. After that I can say I was impressed. They were fit and could fucking fight. Brits were cool dudes but were slow and half couldn't hit the broad side of an elephant with a buffalo. Germans couldn't shoot or beat feet. Koreans will pound soju until 05 and then go on a run. Never went on any training missions with them but from what I've heard from the guys who have, they aren't bad. Still, I'm most impressed by the Aussies. Those guys know how to fucking shoot, ruck, and fight.
Hey mate, I was just wondering if I could use some of this footage in documentary I am doing for school... I will give you 100% credit for the footage. A yes will really men alot. Cheers!
they came from different countries for war. But they defeated....now they are resting with my grandfather's on the same land. WE ARE SORRY ABOUT ANZAC SOLDİER... we still don't know why Anzac soldiers came to my homeland for war. recpectfully
+cynderfan2233 Only the last unit, headed by the pipe band (almost all of whose members have been on deployment) are infantry. Most of the infantry battalion there have have been deployed multiple times, particularly the younger soldiers. The standards are technically the same, the problem is that no one forces a reservist to do PT every day. From my observation, the older dinosaurs who joined before the Army Reserve got deployments and are happy just passing the fitness assessment at their age bracket have a poor chance of seeing operational service.
You know they say that all soldiers were aloud to March bullshit my grandfather was a bomb maker ( also know as a tick tick) he served in png and kakoda and a few other places (I wouldn't know because sadly he died in 2003) also another thing that was sad about this is that he was never aloud to go to the dawn service (held on the morning of Anzac Day) and he was also never aloud to wear his service medals in public. R.I.P grandfather
Stealthinator139 they're reserves. If you start forcing drill lessons on to reserves they just wouldn't turn up. They should be learning their role and how to fight not how to perfect their drill.
Melbourne doesn't have the big army bases like Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville or Darwin so these are mostly Reserve units. Easy to identify by just how many fat soldiers, without any medals marching badly.
Ryan Milette That happens to be untrue. I am just quite annoyed that when you think of bagpipes you inherently think of a place were they are no more Scottish than their southern neighbors
los MILITARES DEBEN IR APARTE DE LAS SEÑORITAS, SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES MAS ELEGANTE, PARA QUE ELLAS MIREN SUS ESPOSOS O SUS NOVIOS Y LES TOMEN FOTOS PARA EL album FAMILIAR. PARA MI, NO ES PERMITIDO, QUE LA MUJER PORTE ARMA, BRAVAS SON UN peligro . No es bueno.
+Ryan Jeffrey - they are swinging their arms - I noticed 6RAR didn't , when my Husband ( dec'd ) was in the army , their marching was spot on , he was in 1RAR
Misinterpreted comment I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. America came in in 1918 and helped out the British, Aussie, Canadians, French and brought with their help this horrendous war to an end. WW1 was horrible, unearthly. It has always seemed it was done to kill all those kids on purpose. Awful! Much love to all soldiers much hate to politicians!
Is dit echt een Australisch leger? Wat voor soort demonstratie van overgewicht? Waarom is iedereen zo dik? Wat doen dikke vrouwen in deze divisies ?? O_O Это действительно австралийская армия? Это что за демонстрация лишнего веса? Почему все такие жирные? Что делают толстые бабы в этих подразделениях??? О_О
TONY COSTANZO bring back conscription? 'Cause everybody in a war wants to be surrounded by people who were forced to go and don't agree with the action.

why the fuck would any soldier want to trust a drug addict with their lives??
