  • @emptyangel
    @emptyangel  12 років тому +23

    And yes, I guess there is an expect of instilling fear to it.
    The bearskin added height to a soldier, height being an extremely desirable attribute in European armies at the time.
    It was also a mark of the elite, due to the costs of acquiring & making the bearskins, and was usually worn only by an army's Guards & Grenadiers.
    To put differently, it was the culmination of an evolution of headgear that basically saw European armies trying to one-up each other with increasingly more ornate hats.

    Back when it was worn on the battlefield around the 19th century, as a soldier would a kevlar helmet today, it was very much a functional piece of headgear.
    It broke the silhouette of the soldier wearing it. Making it tough for enemy lancers, who were trained to aim for the head, to hit their mark & would strike the bearskin instead.
    The curb chain you see resting on the soldier's chin offered some form of protection to the face from sword & sabre slashes as well.

      The Guards are not police and so cant arrest you, the police are equally there for security just like the guards most are armed but they are more practical as they have jurisdiction both in and out the palace. if you cosue a problem the police will deal with you, each guard has a button they can press for police assistance. if you look at old video there were no police and the guards were a lot more active in watching individual threats, now the guards are more ceremonial but if a threat is posed they are armed and trained to deal with it.

    These are the same full-time soldiers who form the backbone of British forces on operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
    The Grenadier Guards, seen here, had just returned from Afghanistan just a few months prior to when this video was filmed.
    They do this until they swap roles with another regiment so the men can go back to what some view as 'real' soldiering, i.e. preparing for operations and the operational deployment itself.

    1st Battalion Grenadier Guards and for those who don't know the lance corporal that was performing the duty of changing over the centuries isn't a commander or anything, lance corporals within the British Army carry out the roles of commanding a small group known as (Relieves or Relief) and march them to their post such as what you're witnessing in this particular video. The Grenadier Guards are one of if not the oldest founding regiment of the British Army dating back to it's founding by Richard II in 1656. 50% of their role consist of ceremonial duties which is what you're seeing in this video and the other 50% is operational going out on operational deployments and exercises with NATO and working closely with allied forces. These lovely people aren't tourist attractions they're serving professional infantry soldiers of the British Army. Note to self they only have their SA80 L85 A2s loaded if the countries threat level is servere if it isn't and its moderate or below servere then the weapons are left unloaded with their bayonets fixed to the end of the muzzle. I'm joining the British Army as a Grenadier Guard and I cannot wait for the potential long career ahead of me 👊💂‍♂️🇬🇧

    The design of the rifle is called a "bullpup". There are actually a few models with this design. The design allows for a shorter overall length while still using a full length barrel which gives the bullet more velocity. France has a bullpup called the FAMAS and a company called steyr makes one too called the AUG.. Those plus the british rifle are the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

    The Foot Guards do not wear single chevrons. All Lance Corporals wear two chevrons while Corporals are automatically appointed Lance Sergeants and wear three chevrons.
    In their ceremonial uniforms, Lance and full Sergeants can be distinguished by the colour of their chevrons. Lance wear white ones and full Sergeants wear gold.

    Actually, I'm from the US, and I am smart enough to understand that if Churchill's Few didn't defend Britain, the Germans would have gotten full control over the English Channel and thus could move west towards America. There are many possibilities as to what would happen if the Battle of Britain was lost by the allies, but the likeliest one would be an invasion of America. So really, they saved us. You have way too much national pride.

    Drill boots aka ammunition boots. Though I reckon if the quartermaster had his way, they'd be all wearing metal boots. But alas, they can only go so far as putting metal all over the sole.

    Look again, as others have said, their sidearms are clearly visible on their belts. I've been there and seen first hand that the police are armed. And they don't carry fully loaded magazines, only 1-5 rounds.

      They're Grenadier Guards.
      Welsh Guards have White/Green/White hackles in their bearskin caps, have their buttons grouped in fives and have leeks for collar badges.
