GUARDSMEN'S FAREWELL TO OLD TED 

We were a different and better people then.

Without tea,the British Army would be knackered.

The drill is a credit to the pl Sgt, what a proud squad of lads well done all of them, and well done 'Old Ted'

well done Ted he started a trend setter I remember the tea wagon when I was training at pribright camp in late 90s

This parade was 1965 I was on parade Irish guardsman

THIS is one of the things that helped make Britain GREAT! SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely gesture for "Old Ted".

Hope he was cheaper than Polly's Perks. "A coffee, and an egg banjo please Pol" "That'll be 15 quid."

Good old Ted ... Proud of him.... R.I.P. I was in the R.A.F. on basic training at R.A.F. Padgate in Oct 1954, The N.A.A.F.I. a Cup of Tea was 3 pence, however in the Salvation Army( Salvos/Sally Ann) it was 3 pence for a Mug the same size as our issued Mug, so the N.A.A.F.I. complained and finally got the Sally Ann to charge the same but for the same size Cup as the N.A.A.F.I. which the Sally Ann did .... But the Sally Ann gave you a Token when you bought a Cuppa so when you had finished your first Cup you went back with your Cup and Token and got another Cup for Free.

Hats off to a fine old soldier! different generation, higher standards!

Remember polly' perks . Mostly on the rangers. He was well appreciated but expensive . He always seemed to appear on your £10 per week pay day.

What a nice video! He must have been quite a favorite.

Top notch drill, 100 times better than the sloppy buggers now.

Great job Ted.

So the big question is, is the tea truck still around..?

good old Ted

Well done. Ted.

What year would this be that Ted retired?

Good old chap !!
