[@gjgault30]

Well done to be RSM and also what a great guy Denis was.Sadly missed.

[@stevejohnson6111]

He's done well for himself, 20 years and has made RSM. I've seen Full Sergeants and WO 2s in the Battalion I was in (2CG) back in the 70s with more service, so good on him.

No, that just means it's a properly cut snug fit tunic that forces you to stand straight.

Haha+ u noticed that too! What else is funny is the command team membership identities are public information. The RSM is definitely part of the command team.

[@jessicarabbit1138]

Well done the Micks

This is a slap in the face to the Irish Republic. Firstly, they should be called Northern Irish and second they were named at a time when the Republic was a colony.

[@JasonBogues]

Just curious to know why they are reffered to as 'Irish' guards when the work for the british crown, and more than likely refer to themselves as British. Its mad to see British soldiers who wouldn't call themselves Irish, fight for a regiment that portrays itself to be Irish, when they are British

[@JasonBogues]

@@Krispysquare and are they proud to be Irish? Do they stand with the Irish who were culturally trapped within their own land by British forces? Do they fly an Irish flag? The Irish army, who are enrolled across the island of Ireland, but train in the Irish Republic is filled with men and women proud to fight for their country, but we all know how throughout history, the Irish were hated by the British, so this is why I'm curious to know why the British army are calling a regiment Irish when they are British, I think history has pointed out enough now to show how manipulative and destructive your British army was.. Shame

[@neilbarrass7337]

Plenty of Irish guards come😊 from the Republic.

[@andrewmorrow1169]

Because they are an Irish Regiment and have Irishmen from North and South ( catholic and Protestant ) proud serving for them . Please do not fall for the political narrative ..they are proud Irishmen and proud to fight for the crown ..

[@neilbarrass7337]

@@andrewmorrow1169 I know pal,I vam ex Scots guards 💂‍♀️ 🤣 😂

[@mikeman584]

Bitter boy Jason the lads that serve in the Irish Guards are proud soldiers who swear allegiance to HM the King and are justifiably proud to be a part of the British Army whilst still retaining their Irish roots. The Battalion also has English and Commonwealth representatives in the ranks. So give your head a little wobble and reset please.

[@snowflakemelter1172]

A happy smiling RSM, must be an MOD trick and an actor , the real RSM is out of veiw getting lads to polish the tent.
