Heroes every bloody one of them, Ulster will always be indebted to this Regiment for what they prevented and achieved in the early 70s. We haven't forgotten your loss on Bloody Friday.
The major bollocking the guardsman, the commanding officer gripped me like some bad odour fish and chip regiment company commander, that made me laugh.
Wales for ever and I wish God's blessings on all of you Welsh guardsman. We as Royal British legion standard bearers had the pleasure off marching with the Welsh guards band in Llandudno about 10 years ago. Absolutely fabulous.
Brilliant video Adelaide. I remember when this was broadcast, I used to play rugby with the Welsh Guards boys when they were at Pirbright. Can't wait to see the other parts
Poor lad getting caught gonking on stag . A big no no but shit happens . I caught a lad twice gonking on stag and just gave him a slap . Problem solved
Pretty sure i'm the only one to catch this (am i?) but at 10:31, the soldier with his top off has an Egon Schiele tattoo? So very obscure. You couldn't write it...
I remember this so well when it first came out. I had SUCH a crush on the Major. My ma spotted the announcement of his engagement. I think I cried for a week!
I have tried but I cannot upload anything at all now with U Tube it just keeps saying 1450 min to upload or something stupid, any suggestions how I can upload ?
I'm Anglo/Scot/Welsh/German/American, but more than half Welsh. I must be. I was in Wales 11 years ago and I guess I looked too Welsh. I had a bunch of transvestites in Cardiff where I was come up to me and started speaking to me in Welsh! I said "Sorry, I may look Welsh but I don't speak the language." I'm proud of The Welsh Guards and the whole British Army. I love them.
Because an officer is from an upper class background, does not make him a "stuck up toff". If you have the education, sense and wits, there is nothing stopping you from becoming an officer in the army. It's also important that officers fit in and having a separation of background and education from soldiers is no bad thing.
Mostly they really were stuck up toffs back in those days. Almost exclusively they were toffs in the Infantry and certainly in the Guards. Probably more down to earth in non Infantry units I imagine. Pretty sure it's not nearly as bad as that nowadays.
So many stereotypes; officers needing haircuts, belts over Combat jackets and smoking in their offices. And who bollocks someone as part of a Charge? Oh and red trousers in civvies? Big bullseye for anyone outside the Army to spot who's an Officer...
The sleeping while on duty issue could do with amplification ie was it they were noticed to have drifted off while having to stare in space at night for two hours after ten hours digging or were they fully snuggled down for the night in gonk bags? The rather tin pot feigned rage from the Major is hard to listen to.
No they got caught gonking on stag, falling asleep on sentry duty, a big no no in Northern Ireland and usually carried a sentence of 6 months in Colchester.
It's quite clear from what was said that this wasn't a stand alone incident though. The bloke in question had not only got caught sleeping on sentry during operations, he had also been involved In another incident deemed important enough to warrant the CO'S involvement the week before, and serious enough for his Chain Of Command to have to convince the CO to bury it under the carpet, or considerably lessen the punishment.
The higher the rank of the officer, the crappier the beret gets. Fact.

We all need a big dose of discipline now, March 2020.
We just going to ignore the legit giant man at 8:40 jez that guy is about 7ft easy.
8:39 How bloody tall is that officer? Good grief!
That Captain has to be the tallest man in NATO!
6'10" . First name Geoff. That's all I can say.
The major bollocking the guardsman, the commanding officer gripped me like some bad odour fish and chip regiment company commander, that made me laugh.
But they are also chip shop haraldo themselves ?

This was a long time ago around the 90s . I remember seeing it on TV. Smoking indoors has been abolished since 2007 ..
You can tell they resent having the cameras around.I would, too.

@kmb2271 I think it was in the 1990's, I will load the rest of it.
Using the SA80s.......
How can I trust a soldier who can’t express himself through flower arranging!?
Household for you...........
Officers can never get their berets to look right on their heads.
Officers carnt make anything look right. Some of them March like thay have a bumper up there ass.
still haven't uploaded the other parts huh :(
Poor lad getting caught gonking on stag . A big no no but shit happens . I caught a lad twice gonking on stag and just gave him a slap . Problem solved

Can the man not get someone to shape his beret??? Worn as issued i see....
Major Black probably worst beret in British army..QS

Steve "Spoons" Jones, we served together when he came to 3 Company. Poor guy is dead now. R.I.P. mate.
We had two Welsh guards attached to us in the late 80,s Owens 99 and Rosey Davies 76 both Falklands vets and good lads .
Oh wow. When did he pass?
I know this was long ago, but why was the Welsh Flag at half mast at 7:28?
Seems like a lot of turd burglars in this clip
i mind skelping the shit of the Welsh Guards when we sailed into Hong Kong in 1992... (Royal Navy)
How much sleep were those officers getting?...

Does anyone know what the quick march music at the beginning is?
Through Bolts and Bars
Remember this from when it was first broadcast...brilliant stuff, but that company commander really needs to sort his beret out!
One of the young officers in the film was called Harry **** ******. He was so untidy they nicknamed him "Dirty Harry"
I have tried but I cannot upload anything at all now with U Tube it just keeps saying 1450 min to upload or something stupid, any suggestions how I can upload ?

What’s the “70” mean
Being a Welsh regiment they would have so many with the same surname so they use a number instead.
@@patrickbuckley2516 🤦♂️yeah makes sense, feel a bit of a tool now
It's the last two figures of his army number.
a teurn on both men smoking,,,Sir thankyou from smokers boi im on recon worldskins tooox

@@superbr0ws015 yeah couldn't keep awake otherwise a good soldier he didn't really want to lose . Big no-no though sleeping on stag .
Hilarious ... I didn't realise I British regiment could be this gash 😂
Unlike the Americans tho we don't shoot our own side
@@vikingjohn9813 that's facinating... But I'm English
@@mat81427 never said you were American tho
@@vikingjohn9813 the comment was even more pointless then
@@mat81427 fucking hell here have a tissue ya wet wipe
It said men not ruperts and dressed up part time infantry who spend half the year getting wasted
Anyone know what happened to Evans 70
Wooden tops.
The displin? It's the brotherhood sooooo fake god
As an American soldier from the 82nd Airborne I am so glade we did away with the British marching style, it just looks silly.
Its traditional so fuck off yank. You have a walk not a March, the British have class
It's still a march Tommy, we just don't exaggerate the arm and leg movements so much. Oh and bite my ass.
Looks more like a saunter too me. American drill looks stupid.
Being shackled to tradition is no excuse for looking like a ponce. At least it's not like those border guards in India/Pakistan. lmao
Septic drill looks fucking shit, like a bunch of fanny's mincing about; awful.
Bro this is so fake I thought it was a documentary
What the fuck are you one about?
