@Armydude991 your question-WHAT? says it all really,i should'nt waste my time.you've got access to the internet mate.google rothschilds and dig a little (and i dont mean another fox hole-or far worse a shallow grave for a comrade) im not going to war for some greedy money making bastards,if you are then thats your problem.good luck anyway mate

[gobofwaraxis88]

what a fucking crime that the RGJ and L/INF DIV were decimated by the fucking government they fought for-lesson DONT JOIN THE UK ARMED FORCES-YOUR JUST CANNON FODDER AND EXPENDABLE LIKE USED SHIT ROLL-and the rothchilds who really control the u.k could'nt give a fuck about you dying in one of their families profitable wars.wake up you poor silly fuckers,regimental pride means fuck all to the cunts who send you to your deaths so they can increase their immense wealth.

[Armydude991]

@gobofwaraxis88 What?

[nylonTS]

@gobofwaraxis88 I fear you are correct

[1966bluearmy]

i was a bugler on this parade... good times !!!!

[OskarfromHawthorn]

A few buglers stayed back to do this and then got on a plane to do the tour in E Tyrone. Talk about never giving up.

Last I heard, the LCpl known as 'Doc' (on the clarinet) is now some senior BM and doing very well. I still remember him missing a key kick in the QDG match in Paderborn so stuff the musical ability, it's the stuff which matters we remember...!

[HRC932010]

@OskarfromHawthorn im lucky enough to be able to bugle alongside 2 ex and 1 current BM every week. Buglers: one of a kind! if your not a bugler you might as well be wearing a dress. DURCH!!

[Phil141250]

Oh Gawd! I feel so old! Blondie and Phil, Dick Softley...where are you now lads. Aucto Splendore Resurgo!!

[HRC932010]

@Phil141250 which band were u from, Waterloo?

[HRC932010]

anyone know who the next senior BM of the Rifles is gunna be yet? heard rumours that Flavin is leaving soon

[lurcherlongdog]

They do motor, don't they! And blow while they motor!

[glenochil1]

I was with 4th Bn Support Coy SF platoon from Mile End we were used as Security and GD's over three nights didnt even get a beer out of it.

[brotherdawudyasin]

HOW THE fuck did Ziggy get to be a solo bugler he was shiite

[t1bb1es]

i swear at one point someone i know marches right past the camera =)

[brotherdawudyasin]

@t1bb1es Ya dont know kid!

[t1bb1es]

@brotherdawudyasin ... i wasn't alive in 1993 but i do know someone wh marches right past. i am 90% sure of it.. the bugler marching past between 1:20 and 1:24 who passes right in front of the video...

[barbarybar]

I'm cream crackered just watching them.

[Sowka1967]

Although one knows their brave history at Waterloo this march SOUNDS COMPLETELY FRENCH ;-)))!As a matter of fact the light infantry was a French invent-so it sounds in their music.Great!

[higuma75]

@Sowka1967 HIghly debatable. Light infantry in skirmish roles goes back to Romans and Greeks. Jäger units in Austria and Germany were often recruited from actual hunters and poachers, cause they could actually shoot and hit, plus it was hunters and farmers who fucked up the French line infantry in Tyrol.

[16lydgate]

@higuma75 This was the first time the British Army adopted this type of fighting technique as the British Army always fought in line but was totally useless in the highly dense wooded terrain of what became America. The commentator was not suggesting that this was solely the invention of the British Light Infantry, in fact, they copied the tactics of the Native Indians and the Colonists, alas, as history dictated all to no Vail!!!!!!

[Challis1989]

@Sowka1967 Light infanty may have been french influenced but the rifled soldiers were totally British also don't forget british light infantrymen were taught to be free thinking on the battlefield. So we may not have invented it we certainly revolutionized it. Long live the green jackets.

[xjr1300paul]

It makes you proud just to watch them

[TheBagger57]

To bad they didn't invite Canadian rifle regiments for this, Old friend just passed away was RSM/ Drum Major of Queens Own Rifle of Canada, RIP RSM Sid Byitt

[artamblyn]

Best days of my life, was a bugler from '75 to '81 served with 1L.I. Didn't realise how friggin awesome we were at the time. Hi to all the old boys of the Light Div...we were the dogs bo**ocks for sure.

[smudger746]

i was 2 LI 1994-2006.. CEDE NULLIS

[rogueGB]

Would love to see the full video, many of my TA friends performed at this event (a few years before I joined as a bugler with 7 L.I) Was lucky enough to perform with the Light Divison band at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2001 under BM Tony well & then Mac McCloud

[jaymo61]

the legend that is "robin arnold" ..........how is it that the best buglers nevr get to be bunglemeisters ?

[bisley66]

[PaulF07]

I was their aswell and i was only 5 years and remember it well it was great to the members of the band and bugles of the burma band (7LI) taking part now sadly the band has gone :(

[bishlightinfantry]

light infantry the best...cede nullis

[Tonanti216a]

I always come back to this clip just for a "fix" - sets me up with a buzz

[01MarchHare]

As do I, especially when I want to 'listen' to The Lines Of Torres Vedras. This is one of those bands that one must see as well as hear!

[Dovershark]

Ex-REME, dad was ex-1RGJ.

remember when i was young and dad used to take me to see the RGJ band>

Everytime i hear this music it brings tears to my eyes, why? Once military always military!

[gazpara]

I'm an ex para but my grandfather was RIFLE BRIGADE, FANTATIC BAND AND A GREAT REGIMENT. Not sure the Rifles is quite the same

[tonyoffpompey]

Just want to thank you for putting this up mate! I was there that day with my father (ex 2nd LI who passed on 12 years ago) - my mother was at home and recorded this on vhs. Still have it but a very very tatty copy now, such a bad state it's hard to renovate. Have been in contact with so many from the LI & GJ museums, even the BBC to try and get a copy of this. Seriously - thanks mate, been looking for this for years!

[geshtunga]

Brilliant, love watching this stuff. Sadly we never see this grand display of military traditions much these days.

[farouk02382]

What is the name of the very British narrator?

[0404alan]

The name of the commentator is Tom Flemming and I believe he is scottish.

[gavsky23]

No Sir, it's Eric Robson (of Radio 4's Gardeners Question time, and much else). Born in southern Scotland but grew-up in Cumbria. He also commentated on the Hong Kong hand-over ceremony in '97.

[salopianlad]

up the KSLI

[saistone]

Beat this lot if you can any one anywhere!

[oatminus20]

Fantastic! The boys in green showing them how its done, as usual.

[choll88]

watching the band and bugles of the light division at my bros passing out was the reason i joined up-fantastic sound,great memories!!!

[cplbugler]

Who was the good looking Bugler doing the commentary ???

[darthgriff]

I was there that day as well Si, coupla ranks in front of you you donkey! Sent you a PM. I remember undoing the straps on Geordis cymbals so when he picked them up as we marched pm he dropped them. That was some funny shit, i think i rubbed chilli around the rim of his hat too, ah, the old days.

[simonthesax]

Yeh I was part of this band on that day and the nicest part was kicking arse in the guards backyard...Itll never be the same...do i miss eating dirt and endless rehearsals wearing wet sweaty greens and waiting for someone to die before you get a promotion???..... not really!! Listen to the buglers voiceover....very accurate!

[nylonTS]

Fantastic what can you say they were the best

[eipgamluap]

Don't know about everyone else.. But Fuck me, were we ( Light Div Band and Bugles ) the best or what..? If I could turn back time I' d love to do all this stuff again....

[noskcajluap]

And all of this is now represented by 1 band of 35 musicians!!! What a mess!

[terrymod]

A lump in my throat too--

ex RGJ....

[plymouthnick]

Just found this. Thank god for modern technology! I was there for the last evening of the 3. High on a Hill and Sunset still get the hairs on my neck going! Was there with Billy J and Simon F at the UJ Club. Happy days boys.

[ianandkillian]

I was there on that day - wonderful to see it again!!!

[686204]

Very nice brought back some memories of when my dad was bugle Major of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada (1939-1954). Marching past the review stand at a 140 playing their regimental march made your hair stand on end.

Thanks for posting.

[wokboy60]

we might be a small island but nobody does this better than us and the Light Division !

[topher163]

my dad was a bugle major on this day 2 rgj
