In The Company of Men Part 1

Documentary following The Prince of Wales' Company 1st Battalion Welsh Guards

[@RUDI-UK]

Heroes every bloody one of them, Ulster will always be indebted to this Regiment for what they prevented and achieved in the early 70s. We haven't forgotten your loss on Bloody Friday.

[@Kameleonic]

We all need a big dose of discipline now, March 2020.

[@johnnunn8688]

The higher the rank of the officer, the crappier the beret gets. Fact.

[@adelaide102]

@kmb2271 I think it was in the 1990's, I will load the rest of it.

[@Sam-vr3ss]

still haven't uploaded the other parts huh :(

[@hutch1111111]

I know this was long ago, but why was the Welsh Flag at half mast at 7:28?

[@SuperBenblake]

I'm Anglo/Scot/Welsh/German/American, but more than half Welsh. I must be. I was in Wales 11 years ago and I guess I looked too Welsh. I had a bunch of transvestites in Cardiff where I was come up to me and started speaking to me in Welsh! I said "Sorry, I may look Welsh but I don't speak the language." I'm proud of The Welsh Guards and the whole British Army. I love them.

Pretty sure i'm the only one to catch this (am i?) but at 10:31, the soldier with his top off has an Egon Schiele tattoo? So very obscure. You couldn't write it...

[@SuperSuperswan]

Officers can never get their berets to look right on their heads.

[@brianfearn4246]

Officers carnt make anything look right. Some of them March like thay have a bumper up there ass.

[@tumbleboys]

What’s the “70” mean

[@patrickbuckley2516]

Being a Welsh regiment they would have so many with the same surname so they use a number instead.

[@Marctunstall]

@@patrickbuckley2516 🤦‍♂️yeah makes sense, feel a bit of a tool now

[@tonyaughney8945]

It's the last two figures of his army number.

[@UncleBoratagain]

The sleeping while on duty issue could do with amplification ie was it they were noticed to have drifted off while having to stare in space at night for two hours after ten hours digging or were they fully snuggled down for the night in gonk bags? The rather tin pot feigned rage from the Major is hard to listen to.

[@kevinadamson5768]

No they got caught gonking on stag, falling asleep on sentry duty, a big no no in Northern Ireland and usually carried a sentence of 6 months in Colchester.

[@superbr0ws015]

It's quite clear from what was said that this wasn't a stand alone incident though. The bloke in question had not only got caught sleeping on sentry during operations, he had also been involved In another incident deemed important enough to warrant the CO'S involvement the week before, and serious enough for his Chain Of Command to have to convince the CO to bury it under the carpet, or considerably lessen the punishment.

[@kevinadamson5768]

@@superbr0ws015 yeah couldn't keep awake otherwise a good soldier he didn't really want to lose . Big no-no though sleeping on stag .

[@ianmcclellan7695]

So many stereotypes; officers needing haircuts, belts over Combat jackets and smoking in their offices. And who bollocks someone as part of a Charge? Oh and red trousers in civvies? Big bullseye for anyone outside the Army to spot who's an Officer...

As an American soldier from the 82nd Airborne I am so glade we did away with the British marching style, it just looks silly.

[@moj6241]

Its traditional so fuck off yank. You have a walk not a March, the British have class

[@mrrossn]

It's still a march Tommy, we just don't exaggerate the arm and leg movements so much. Oh and bite my ass.

[@hutch1111111]

Looks more like a saunter too me. American drill looks stupid.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

Being shackled to tradition is no excuse for looking like a ponce. At least it's not like those border guards in India/Pakistan. lmao

Wales for ever and I wish God's blessings on all of you Welsh guardsman. We as Royal British legion standard bearers had the pleasure off marching with the Welsh guards band in Llandudno about 10 years ago. Absolutely fabulous.

The major bollocking the guardsman, the commanding officer gripped me like some bad odour fish and chip regiment company commander, that made me laugh.

[@tech9auto223]

Are all offers stuck up toffs or are there any guys from council estates who make it in the BA

[@fod1855]

Because an officer is from an upper class background, does not make him a "stuck up toff". If you have the education, sense and wits, there is nothing stopping you from becoming an officer in the army. It's also important that officers fit in and having a separation of background and education from soldiers is no bad thing.

[@mline250]

Not all.

[@KMilton-iw2tk]

Mostly they really were stuck up toffs back in those days. Almost exclusively they were toffs in the Infantry and certainly in the Guards. Probably more down to earth in non Infantry units I imagine. Pretty sure it's not nearly as bad as that nowadays.
