THANK GOD I WASN'T A GUARDSMAN

[browningautorifle]

"Mystique of the Officers"...FFS...more like the pomposity of the aristocracy. I can't even stand to watch or listen to that kind of rubbish, too many of those in the past that I can remember. They had nothing to show the men. They didn't even do their own kit, batmen were still in vogue. Once we got rid of ours, the officers' dress went straight into the toilet. Sitting on their beds though...unheard of...

If you watch the second vid Gil, you'll find they're the "Envy of the parachute brigade"...or some tripe such according to the gentleman narrating, from Abingdon... Ox and Bucks officer no doubt.
