@@KevinKerr-re6wi Ik, right, a bunch of gobshites. Many of the Guards served in the IRA after serving in WW1! One of them was Stan Bishop MM W/Bar, who was second in command of the East Waterford Brigade 😆😆😆😆
@@firstnamesurname5376 just because of division in northern ireland. Irish nationalists find everything related to celebrating Orangeism & loyalism to be highly offensive and works to cancel it

Can someone please explain the significance of the penguin walk they do (not on here but I’ve usually seen it on Orange marches in Belfast and Glasgow, and seen a group of Irish Guards doing it while playing the Sash out of sight from their CO.)
Irish Regiments celebrated the 12th during the war. In Richard O Dogherty's book The Sons of Ulster shows a similar parade in India in 1944 where Catholic and Protestant soldiers joined in the celebrations!!!
The RUR (both Catholic and Protestant) met the pope when the Ulster Rifles entered Rome. 36th Ulster Division also celebrated Lundys day in France by burning a makeshift Lundy. The relationship between Ulster/Irish culture in the armed forces is strong
Still is. Rather ironically the place you are most likely to find committed unionists and fair weather nationalist work together best and looking out for one another is in the British Army.
@@Ulster-vi4mt Just for clarity, it was the 38th (Irish) Brigade (formed at Churchill’s behest) that entered Rome. It consisted of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, the Royal Irish Fusiliers and the London Irish Rifles. The Pope asked to meet a group of the brave Irish Soldiers and a mixed group of Soldiers from all Regiments and backgrounds were selected. Several men wore their sashes hidden under their battledress and at the last moment pulled them out . The Pope gave them all a blessing and to this day it is believed these were the only sashes ever blessed by the Pope. My Great Uncle Harry Mann of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers recounted this story in the 1970’s with great mirth. The RUR were otherwise busy with preparing for and participating in DDay and onwards. Respectfully yours, Ian
what is the big deal? every morning Scottish regiments wake up to "johnny Cope" a song that celebrates the rebels defeating a government army early in the morning, that has been a tradition for centuries now. The troubles have been over for a long time so get over it people.
back in the 70s when we dismounted the castle guard in Windsor the crop of drums would always break in to the sash as we marched through the main gates, if it was the pipe band doing the dismount it would be st Patrick's day. ah the good old days of the battalion.
David here is a tramp and a wee bit on the thick side. Don't be like David. What have those 3 got to do with Orangeism Davy lad? You're also 3 counties too many there ya plank. Awful shame how many were caught for collusion with Loyalist paramilitaries eh Davy lad?
The Loyalist religion must be at both parts farther away from christ in action and closer in its own mind. A terrible conundrum. But God bless those men for serving in Afghanistan.
Also when they swore there oath was to the queen and part of it was to her majesty queen of England defender of the faith which is Protestant last cathaolic English queen was Mary Tudor
No...they are probably not Irish!Playing the sash isn’t appropriate.actually pretty sad.. Once King Billy, Mary and Ann were gone...sadly no offspring;through the Act of succession, I believe that circa 43 family relatives were ‘by-passed’ for succession as they were papists.That is how the Hannovarians ended up on the throne!.....
Ulster Scots are the Original Inhabitants of Northern Ireland, many invaded Scotland whose original Inhabitants were Picts. You are advocating Ethnic Cleansing and are a. Political clown
So they brought those HUGE drums all the way to Afghanistan just to celebrate the 12th, that's dedication for you. The sad truth though is that the average person in the UK doesn't care about "Northern Ireland", or William of Orange, or your bonfires.
@@geordiewishart1683 Oh sorry, I meant Bonfire lol. No harm done. The fires crap isn't part of our culture or tradition so I got it wrong. First time I've ever addressed the subject in my life.
@@Ulster-vi4mt since when? I was stationed with them in Munster and never heard it once in two years. Also you need to look at one of the other posts where it says "got in trouble for that".
@@medic7698 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ubA7Rwk-5-I.html , it was also played at yesterday’s trooping the colour. It’s often playing alongside “the minstrel boy”. Which is seen as an Irish Nationalist song. Its essentially a nod to both communities which inhabit the regiment.

@@medic7698 they got in trouble for wearing the sash, on the 12th, while deployed, not for playing the song.
these are not IRISH Guards, some Billy boy outfit, prending to be soldiers, , put them back in their box and leave the Soldiering to the southern outfits
The Irish Guards are full of southerners. Mainly because RoI doesn’t have a proper army. But the EU is going to make you fight. RoI neutrality down the drain.
