Thank you for making up your time and wanting to serve for king and country during the holidays. It is very sad that you can't go see your family on Christmas. Thank you again. Note: Did anyone else spot that the black safety bag was open on one of the guardsman where they strike the rifle to go up to slope arms?

@seansean9675 9 месяцев назад

not really a safety bag. more decoration and to protect the rifle sights from scratches during drill.

Well I remember back in 1974 at the tender age of 16 nipping into the Army Careers Office & asking, can I join the army, after a quip of, well you’ll need to get a haircut first, I sat, had a little chat, I was asked did I have a regiment in mind, I knew nothing but I’d watched trooping the colour, so I offered up The Guards, I can still see him giggling, my 5’4” didn’t cut it 😱 5’8” was the target. If I walked in again these days & having reached the towering man of 5’5” that I am today I’d have sailed in. 4 months after taking that fateful first step, I jumped on a train to start my army career, that lasted 23yrs 203days!!

The tradition of officers walking back and forth to demonstrate their fitness for duty has indeed been around for centuries. It’s fascinating how certain practices endure over time. Soldiers needed assurance that their officers weren’t idly enjoying libations in their tents!

It's a Guards thing, it basically proves the Officer is sober. However, any office on public duties has to carry out the procedure.

@@williamtraynor-kean7214 I would imagine it is derived from some form of security checking- the officer checking windows and doors.

@stewartbristow846 9 месяцев назад

It's called pacing the Minutes. It is indeed a tradition showing a)that the officer is sober and b)who is the relevant officer for that unit in days gone by. The Guards are strong on tradition, they have 340 odd years of it.

It's called pacing the minutes. In olden days the officer would pace up and down in front of the guard to prove he was sober enough to lead his troops.

@georgesrnli5748 9 месяцев назад

It is called "perambulating" and used to be done more slowly as a casual saunter as a gesture showing contempt of the enemy before a battle. You will notice that he never turns his back on his own soldiers, only the enemy. When he resumes his place in command of the troops it signifies that battle is about to be joined, or nowadays the parade is about to start.

@christophertipton2318 9 месяцев назад

I agree the grey winter greatcoats aren't the sharpest looking uniform in the locker, but it's what the PTB mandate for the Guards and many other units. I do like the look of the summer red tunics much better. When I was in the US Marines, we had wool greatcoats (aka: horse blankets) that matched our winter service greens and looked good (and were warm too). Only the Marines at Marine Barracks Washington DC have dark blue greatcoats to match the dress blue uniforms. @@marisarap5788
