- There's only one thing more mighty than a Jingles, and that's two Jingles. Or one Royal Marine. Ok, that's three things. Damn.

I noticed that ,when you saw the portrait of Earl Mountbatten, you immediately removed your cap as a mark of respect. That was very considerate.
I know this is an old video, but I just want to clear something up.
The reason that the Royal Marines have the globe as their cap badge, is because we had won that many Battle Honours, there was not enough room on the corps colours to place them, so they were given the globe to represent all the Battle Honours we had won, with Gibraltar being the most prominent.
Jingles, thanks for these videos. I am not the kind of person hat would search UA-cam for military museum videos, but since they are on your channel, why not watch them. It turns out, I thoroughly enjoy them. Keep them up!
I visited UK multiple times few years back, but that was when I wasnt really too much into history and now I know how many places I missed :/ got to come back soon, thanks at least for your history channel Jingles
"Four - oh" Commando? "Oh"? Come on Jingles, you know better than that!
Fourty, Four Two and Four five ;)
Been years since I've been there, thanks for sharing your wanderings.
cringed every time he said it...
Done on purpose to wind up Royal Marines everywhere
Jingles the jungle carbine may look like "a little girl's gun" but she fired a full size .303 cartridge. I've owned two and the both kicked like mules!
excellent video jingles my grand father served with the royal marines during the 1950's, its great to see some of the marines history
Jingles we need some navy museum visits! I'm really enjoying seeing these trips and its giving me ideas for when I visit Britain in the future.
Jingles, if your travels ever find you at Hawaii, you have GOT to try the Aviation Museum of the Pacific at Pearl Harbor. The hanger where they house the Post-WWII craft and the Under Restoration craft has an amazing diorama of Midway.
Thank you Jingles, these museum visits are a joy.
ive been there so many times but no matter how many times you visit its still a great place to go
>It hasn't really changed since the 1940's. That' almost the same as the anti-flash gear I used to wear.
So it didn't change between the 40's and 50's?
;)
This is a really good series Jingles, makes me remember my Granddad telling me about when he landed on D-Day with the Lord Lovat and the Commandos as the first wave on Sword Beach. Thanks Jingles and I wish my granddad was still around to say thanks too :)
The Carcano carbine was the first small arm that I fired. There were about a dozen surplus rifles and carbines used that day. Not having a guide rib for the bolt, Carcanos are quite clunky when operated with live ammo. Empty, it was smooth and quick, but a chore to operate when a full clip is inserted. SMLE was my favorite that day. It weighed a lot more, but held more rounds, was easier to cycle and was nearly idiot proof.
As a history buff myself, I am very thankful for you taking the time to go to these places and making the videos.
I had the pleasure of getting to know a Royal Marine - Terry Vaughan, whom you may have seen on History Channel's Top Shot. A wonderful man, very kind and positive - but I never had a doubt he could break me over one knee without breaking a sweat.
I wish I'd thought to ask him what instrument he played.
neither is better, they both produce bloody good men that deserve all the respect
Royal Marines or U.S.M.C., Marines are special, rugged, clever war fighters who deserve respect. While justly feared, it is remarkable how many lives they save every year by their quick and selfless actions. Honor is much more than a word to these individuals.
Excellent video Jingles! Thank you for sharing this. I'm proud to say that I have served with some Royal Marines in Khandahar, Afghanistan. I've never met such a finer example of professional and tough soldiers such as these, and I'm proud that our countries are such great Allies.
My granddad was in the special forces during WWII he was based in Burma he was captured by the Japanese and liberated at the end of the war.
As was mine!
Thanks for mentioning the US Marines. I just got back from training and the Royal Marine Commandos were there with us
Being a U.S. Marine, I love seeing the role, history, and advancement of our Royal counterparts.
Jingles, thank you so much for these museum visits. I know that from this side of the Atlantic I won't be able to visit these great museums for a long time, so it's nice to be able to see them now!
This is amazing history of the Royal Marines.
Thank you alot for all these museum visits i really enjoy it.
Love your videos Jingles, in the navy myself still at the moment. Been to the Falklands once on a 6 month tour and just about to go down again for another 6 :D...shame I'm going to miss all your videos! : /
I agree I live in nova scotia and I am very proud of my ancestors including my relative general Arthur Currie. he was the commander of the Canadian forces at Vimy.
Yes, with the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, actually. During a joint NATO excercise.
wow jingles your way older than I thought, your no longer the brother that I always wanted...but now your more like the uncle that I always wanted lol, awesome to finally get to see your face!
Yes! Another museum! I love these they are so fun to watch and see the old military hardware!
Thanks again for sharing another bit if British military history Jingles.
Excellent video presentation
you should read thing about Operation Charriot in 1942, it's the raid of british commandos on St-Nazaire : a french port ...
It's an amazing story and i'm sure as someone interested in WWII, you'll apreciate ;)
Fantastic museum, one of the few military ones in the UK i haven't been to.
Note about that AK-47, it's a varient called the MS, you can tell it as the stock is a folding stock made for paratroopers and was called the AK-47 MS
I think read somewhere that the British during the Falklands War mostly used a semi automatic version of the FAL(L1A1 SLR), while the Argentines used a fully automatic version(though the recoil of the 7.62 round was quite noticeable on full auto).
Thanks for informing me about the Zeebrugge raid, I did not know about that and found it very interesting.
The best museum of them all!
AWWWW YIISSSS another Museum tour
Statue in the beginning looks badass. Had no idea about the Nordenfelt gun, pretty cool for 1880.
Your voice is awesome, your jacket is awesome. Damn, you're awesome in general!
hehehehe I knew the gibraltar story was coming somewhere during this video ;).
As always great clip to watch, Jingles :)
Belgium, the battlefield of Europe...
I'm Belgian and I want to point out that FN Herstal (the weapon manufacturer that supplies 'the whole world') is situated in the french speaking part of Belgium, so blame the walloons and not the flemish:p.
btw: Jingles, I was surprised but happy to know you lived here for a couple of months:)
Keep them videos coming!
ah great tour jingles, nice addition to your other videos
I can't wait for the Bovington Tank Museum video!
its zeebrugge jingels and you did an excellent job pronouncing it
Another great museum tour, Mighty One! Keep them coming. If possible could you show us pic's or video of the ships you served on? Thanks, your loyal minion.
I love that I live 10 mins away from the RAF Museum in Hendon, twas a fun outing
>Belgian guns in museum
>Jingles says Belgians are arming the world
>Kongo-class battleship walks in
"You were saying?"
Submersible canoe, the so called "Sleeping Beauty", remembered me of Ivan Lyon. One magnificent bastard, may he rest in peace :)
I've been here, great museum indeed!
Love the Museum vids. When I make it back to GB from the colony George II lost :)...I will surely make it a stop.
love the look around, I look forward to more postings like this one
I think you guys should do a video on the National Royal Navy museum in Portsmouth :)
&months... Just... Wow... That's incredible.
I have to hand it to those men, that had to be extremely rough.
I once heard a quote from a US marine drill officer that said "Marines don't die nor go to hell, they simply go there for a vacation."
Your Weyland-Yutani cap always make me smile ;)
How did I miss this video for so long?
god bless our brothers over the pond - from the US
Great video Jingles thanks for posting!
jingles' voice is really quite soothing
I wish I could live in Europe like you. Your so lucky!
Wow, quite a nice tour.
That Mark 5 Jungle Carbine is light and kicks like a mule, that Narrow HARD rubber butt pad makes it even worse.
00:03 The Royal Marine Commandos seem to have all the best-looking memorials; the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge, Scotland, is fantastic as well. (Though I reckon the Scottish Rifles Memorial in Glasgow is the best-looking - like something off the front of a "Commando" comic!)
I've just finished school and here's another lesson of history, of course better :D
Another amazing video! Keep it up!
Good stuff Jingles!, If you ever consider traveling all the way to the midlands with the camera, i can highly recommend RAF Cosford museum :)
Nice footage, Jingles!
Also bit pleased to hear Muse (Plug in Baby) @17.00.
But it's the source of all my infernal powers!
If you ever fire a no.5 jungle carbine, Jingles, you'll retract your 'little girl's gun' statement; same round as the no.4, but being fired from a significantly smaller, lighter rifle. The damn thing kicks like a bloody mule, even with the rubber butt. The SMLE and No.4 are beautifully balanced, accurate rifles, but the no.5 is a vicious little club by comparison.
In the Tank museum in Bovington there is a Bren gun range simulation like the gpmg one in this video with a working recoil
This makes me feel like a old man, but thanks for this Jingles this is a really cool place. You should go into more depth about those who got the V.C. a lot of times those stories are amazing. After all it got them a V.C.
If you haven't yet you should come visit the National Air and Space Museum in DC.
Was nice to hear ya getting rev'd up while your bud was shooting the GPNG.
You say in your video clip that there are no army commandos left I can assure you that there is such two units, one is call 29 COMMANDO Regt Royal Artillery and the other is 59 Royal Engineers so I hope you add that to your next video
When I was in boot camp they said royal Marines take care of one half of the globe and US Marines the other. Republic of Korea or ROK Marines are nobody to mess with either.
*Camera pointing at a big machinegun* Jingles: Get a load of that!
Me: No thanks, I would prefer living....
huh, I though jingles was around his 20's :D What a great guy.
Enjoyed Jingles. Good stuff.
Around 40 years of age... that is a very young grandpa, I have to say.
Damn it Jingles, you have so many cool stuff in England, i wish there was something like that here in Slovenia :)
if ever you return to the USA you should visit the national museum of the US Marines
Very nice Weyland-Yutani cap you've got there, Jingles :).
Jingles! Thank you for showing this! I have huge respect for the Royal Marines and the British Armed Forces and this was nice to see. I'm planning myself to join the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, also with the 32 weeks basic training and this was a nice look in the kitchen of our brothers in arms. I also have a question if you don't mind. Have you ever worked with any branch of the Royal Dutch Armed Forces, if so which one?
Take care and thank you,
Greetings From Holland!
Also love your Weyland-Yutani Corp hat Jingles!
Hey Jingles just to let you know Zeebrugge is actually just the words Zee ( sea ) and Brugge ( Bruges ) Combined.
Btw I'm Belgian, we're to small to fight, so we make weapons so we can see other countries fight and say " Those are our weapons" lol
Nope. The correct way is to say each number separately. ;)
brilliant video jingles thanks for the historical content :)
Nice video mate, i'm going through the application process to become a Royal Marine. I want that green beret so bad it hurts!
Good luck mate, I want to be a Marine as well so bad! Yet, I am not old enough (14) so I'm going to start training! Push ups, sit ups, pull ups and jogs should do the trick!
No luck needed just a bloody minded refusal to give up no matter how hard it gets, and it gets bloody hard. Train until you are ready to drop then get up and go another 50% harder than before. Learn to just put one foot in front of the other and continue to do that no matter what and you will be ok. They like to play mind games but as long as you just say to yourself, if that guy can do it so can I, and believe it, you will do well and maybe, just maybe, get a green beret at the end.
The U.S had an Intrepid, it's now a floating museum in NY. It was a WW2 Air raft
i have found the best hangover cure it is listening to jingles with a sausage sandwich
Enjoyable video. Now go to the RAF museum in London, I can't afford to go there myself at the moment :)
Got to love the Wayland Enterprises hat :)
actually the FN FAL is a full Automatic rifle, but since the recoil was so high they mostly used it in single or burst fire.
I'd love it if someone commented that they were in the marines and the first reply was "what instrument do you play?"
Jingles as a Belgian I must say 2 things: 1) you pronounced zeebrugge correct good job :) and secondly I couldn't stop laughing the moment you mentioned fabrique national ,
I got a gut feeling, he knows about that one already ;)
I would never join a conventional army. But I do have respect for those lads.
He shouldn't it's an Icon for me.
Best trained fighting force in the world.
Next time, we go to the tank museum in Bovington. ; )
