1 RIFLES Bugle Competition VICTORY - Swift and Bold

Band and Bugles of the RIFLES
Please comment with your experience serving, or of others who served. And in advance, thank you for your service.
This video was requested by 1 RIFLES for their annual Bugle Competition. Typically, the event takes place with specaters and judges, live at the event, but amidst covid fears, the event was adapted online. Each Unit had to create a video application for the judge's assessment. We were pleased that this video application saw the 1 RIFLES buglers win the competition!
The opening song is Swift and Bold by Show of Hands.

Greetings from the Queens Own Rifles of Canada to our brother riflemen.

My Father Peter Harry Baldwin was 9th (S) Battalion Rifle Brigade joining in 1943. His Commanding Officer Col. V B Turner VC won at the action at Snipe in 1942. My Father was intensely proud of having been a Rifleman. His Father served in the Ox & Bucks Light infantry after WW1.... He would be so proud to watch this wonderful film. He passed away exactly 25 years ago today 25th June 1998... God bless the Rifles and all service personnel who serve in the UK Armed Forces 🇬🇧

My great grandfather, Arthur Williams, joined hm 43rd l I regt is 1847 as an 18yr old. He retired as the quartermaster (RSM) in 1865. The 43rd was retrained as light infantry in 1802 by Sir John Moore.

[@johnbrigg1776]

43rd became 1st Bn. Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, 2nd Bn. being the 52nd. Sometimes had “43rd / 52nd” added in brackets after the name. Sometimes shortened to Oxford and Bucks but NEVER OBLI

[@dagored4077]

A bit late to this party but better late than never. Gentlemen, that was amazing. Thank you very much.

[@53Zander]

l was in 1st battlion of the Light Infantry as it was called then,brought back some great memories, thank you

[@selwynowen6213]

I love watching these buglers doing their thing. I’m amazed how they have the breath to blow the bugle, whilst matching at that pace 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@dixoncreates1131]

Or in the heat of battle, as they were originally used for.

As a Light Infantryman.(Shropshire.. 1st Btn) 1950/1953. Brings tears to my eyes. As a Londoner, l think theyr,e the cream.(l,m 92+) but can no longer keep up the pace.

[@owenfarmer4197]

Last post brings back many memories, the most evocative of all trumpet calls?

[@malcolmdonnison3987]

The bugle is not a trumpet!! Trumpets have valves to play notes . Bugles are played by lips and tongue 😮

[@pauljohnson4525]

Wonderful , thank you so much ..... Made me think of my Dad "Sound the Double Dad "

[@dixoncreates1131]

You're very welcome.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and congratulations for the win two years ago!

Absolutely fantastic

[@DaveAinsworth-y8h]

Celer et Audex is original The Royal America Regiment ( 60th Foot) the regiment was later The Kings Royal Rifle Corp. The first regiment to use Light Division Pace was The Oxfordshire Light Infantry in Crimean War. Swift and Bold to all brother Rifleman.

[@michaeldrebert3135]

The bugel call at 5:50 is called also Großes Hallali in Germany

[@batte56]

The German signal at 5:50 is called "Begruessung" (welcome to the hunters) and it is followed by the German signal "Fuchs tot" (the fox is dead).

[@batte56]

You'll find the signal "Begruessung" by 350 German hunters here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHisg56cn9d4Y7M

[@josephturner7569]

A cadet bugler played the Last Post better than that at my grandsons funeral. Rifles ACF. He was 17. And I'm going to cry now. Damn.

[@dixoncreates1131]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope there's solace to be found in this video, and that you find peace with your tragic circumstances. My best wishes to you and all affected

[@lambethlongshanks7990]

Sorry to hear that about your grandson. My heart goes out to you.

What song is this I love it

[@dixoncreates1131]

Swift and Bold by Show of Hands - on Spotify

[@owenfarmer4197]

How fast is The Rifles march? That’s a phenomenal pace

[@nicksykes4575]

Quick march is 140 steps per minute, double time is 180.

[@benmoore9216]

Swift and bold!

[@johnbrigg1776]

@@nicksykes4575surely 140 and 160?

[@nicksykes4575]

@@johnbrigg1776 No, double time is definitely 180. Some units taking part in displays have pushed it up above 200 on occasion.

[@peterbenson336]

They are Light Infantry, they move a damn sight faster than regular Infantry. My father, a Bevin Boy, was a member of the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI's).Home Guard.

[@celticpaws]

Very nicely stage managed. But why oh why do we now have these English Regiments stationed in Scotland? We did used to have a Scottish Rifle Regiment but it was disbanded. There is certainly no need now, to have the government station English regiments in Scotland. Or is their???

[@kevinsheedy7157]

Er, how come this in slow motion? Supposed to be 140 paces per minute no?

[@dixoncreates1131]

Only some of the shots are slowed down and it should be obvious which ones. If it hasn't been slowed and the pace is out that's the troops out of time

[@johnallen7807]

Hate to say it but sounded a bit off key in places.

[@dixoncreates1131]

It is off key, you're right. They told me this at the time (I know little about music as a video editor). It was a difficult situation apparently as the band (if that's the word) had not been able practice together for the entirety of lockdown and through the restrictions at the time. The editing process required me to cut out some of the even 'less well hit' notes and put in sections that were better. We were proud with how it turned out under the circumstances though. What do you think in your honest opinion?

[@johnallen7807]

@@dixoncreates1131 Overall a good effort, my grandfather was in the DLI during WW1 so I have a soft spot for light infantry types lol. Like you I'm no musician but I believe the bugle is particularly difficult as it has no valves. Let's face it the Army has been cut so much I suppose we should be thankful they are still allowed a bugle band!

[@williamguillIII]

Were these men trumpet players before they became bugler's? It doesn't sound like it.

[@talsius.1019]

Soldiers joining the Light Infantry (Rifles) volunteer to join the bugles, most in not all have never played a bugle before joining

[@ardeladimwit]

@@talsius.1019 also sounds like it

[@josephturner7569]

Not the band of the Light Brigade that's for sure.

[@ardeladimwit]

@@josephturner7569 well there's the Household Cav bugler Almost good enough for "F-Troop." No wonder QEII enjoyed her pipes.

Okay. Happy for great gramps, but, so what?

[@dixoncreates1131]

Hi Will, I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.

[@jamesmiller6977]

As an ex-Sapper from the 1970s, I am appalled that Buglers now have to act as Combat Engineers for infantry regiments. It just shows how feeble and pathetic our Army has become.

[@michelt4390]

I'm just thankful some soldiers are still keeping the tradition alive...

[@MyScotty7]

I think its great they learn a good trade whilst bugling

[@malcolmdonnison3987]

There has always been an assault pioneer role within infantry battalions 😮

[@christelledixon9366]

Assault pioneers are not combat engineers, although some of the training is provided by the royal engineers.
