Trooping the Colour 2022: The 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards marches to the traditional British march "The British Grenadiers". Source: • Trooping the Colour 20...
Note: This tune is always used irrespective of which regiment's colour is being trooped, because the right flank of every battalion used to be a grenadier company.
Good historical point. While the Grenadier Guards are their own regiment, the Grenadier soldier is a type of soldier (the biggest and tallest men from each battalion). You also have Fusilier companies (regular riflemen) and a Voltigeur company who were the battalion’s specialist skirmisher soldier.
@@dynamo1796 Fusiliers and Voltigeur are French Terms. The proper term in the British Army would be "Battalion" Company and "Light" Company. Sorry to be pedantic, but it's something I thought I could share.
@@zemildlybird2024 I'm afraid thats not correct. Voltigeur and Fusilier are French terms, as is Grenadier, but they apply to a specific type of soldier reaching back several centuries. They are terms used by many non-French militaries, though in the case of Voltigeur the British preferred the term Skirmisher. Fusilier and Grenadier regiments still exist in the British Army to this day, such as the Grenadier Guards and the Royal Fusiliers. Each of these regiments will be composed of several battalions and of each of those battalions, there will be several companies, and of those companies, there are several platoons (or sometimes troops) and of those, there are several sections. While you're correct that a light company is a modern type of military group, there is no such thing as a Battalion Company. Battalions are made up of companies, not a type of them. In tactical terms, a battalion is the largest directly-commanded formation in a NATO military. An infantry battalion in the British Army will number around 700 men, usually comprising 4 to 5 companies and is commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. Beyond this is the brigade formation, which groups various battalions together. At this level you'll have a Brigade HQ which directs battalions to conduct certain missions and, in turn, the battalion will use its constituent resources and companies to achieve the battalion's mission. Within the battalion, you'll have any of a flavour of types of unit - light infantry, armoured infantry, reconnaissance, logistical, signals and more. All of this is to say that the Grenadier and Fusilier designations are simply for the type of soldier that the stated formation has - a Grenadier formation could be as small as a single company or as large as several battalions within a regiment. Hope this helps you understand it :D
@@dynamo1796 Battalion Companies are a term referred to Companies that *aren't* the two flank companies. In the 18th Century British Army, Flank Companies could be detached from a Battalion on special assignments whereas Battalion Companies could only ever be within the battalion. Video below is by Brandon F which explains it in more detail. ua-cam.com/video/uLMhQ3tWppw/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Edit: Also, I was talking in a more 18th century context, when these terms were first being used. In the British Army, Fusiliers referred to "Elite" soldiers who were the first to use Flintlocks, although as the century went on this elite status was starting to diminish. As well, the Grenadier companies were also seen as "elite," being equipped with Grenades, as their name suggests, in the early days. They were first used in the British Army by 1678, when it was ordered a company of Grenadiers be added to the eight senior regiments of foot. By the following century though, grenades were starting to be used less but their status as "elite" retained, being the best and most professional soldiers of a regiment, a status indicated by the fact they were on the right flank of the regiment. However, the term "Grenadier," as it pertains to a regiment wasn't used at all until 1815 when the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards earned the name they are known as by to this day: the Grenadier Guards. The Light Company, by contrast, was much younger, first being raised in regular regiments by 1770. They were still "elite" though, being troops that were adept at tactics that were innovative for the time: skirmishing and fighting in "open order" as it was called at the time. The Grenadier and Light Companies, which were termed the "Flank Companies," could be detached from its regular battalion for other assignments. By contrast, the "Battalion" or "Centre" Companies remained as the Battalion of the Regiment, hence their name. But this is all about the British Army in the 18th Century. I'm sure it's different in the contemporary French Army and the British Army of today but this is what it was in the day.

I recall the roll of the grenadier guards as macbeth........the greatest mass Shakespearean tragic heroes I've had my pleasure to see. Halt is that a dagger I see before me.come let us grasp thee.....monty python
The bearskins fitting has changed over the last decades. They used to make sure that the soldiers eyes were not visible to the public. The rifles look like toys with plastic wraps over some parts. The bayonet is shorter. Must be the cost of the extra 2 inches of blade being saved. The old regulation count of movements of 2 seconds has been altered to wham , wham wham. Check out the trooping before 1939.. Much more elegant and deadly.
Fun fact, the Bearskin actually came from the Old Guards from the French Army during the Napoleonic War. The Redcoats won the War and took those hats as War Trophy. As time goes on, the Brits made some some modification on them

Thank you ,there is more anger within the British working class than the Government realizes. The Politicians are ruining this Country. On April 23rd is Saint George's day our Patron saint. In London in Westminster at 3 pm you will see a lot of true British including many ex Service we will be letting the Govt know how we feel, peacefully of course but they are not Listening I'm afraid. In the future I unfortunately see a lot of conflict . I will be watching your Elections as well as ours due this year so interesting times ahead. The West is in a mess. Best wishes to the USA.
