This simple act of kindness does more to promote the British Army than hours of HR and advertising. Thank you for your service.

[@dbyers3897]

Advertising? Recruitment efforts are not usually described as advertising. The British Army doesn't make, sell or delivery any product. They are part of the MOD. Abraham Maslow described the basic need of humans is for Safety & Security. That's what the BA provides the citizens of the UK. The Guards Regiments are a visible reassurance of this.

Their not members of RGG and therefore are not considered Guardsmen

[@meenos3]

@@savagegaming4133 Sorry l missed something? What do you mean ?

[@savagegaming4133]

Since they are members of the music core and are not technically active service men, they fall under a completely different command structure and therefore adhere to different regulations and procedures, the people that you seen in the tunics are members of the RGG, Royal Grenadier Guards, that is the primary foot regiment for the queens guards, you've also got the household calvary which are the ones on horse, the Scots Guards and 2 other regiments, depending on where you go. So my point is it's no surprise that these to were so informal on official duty since they are not expected to maintain strict discipline that RGG and the other kings guards regiments would

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

@@richardjones4080 Thanks! As @Jay Spiers said the Drummer is wearing his Drummers Tunic, which is quite easy to spot, the Company Sergeant Majors (CSM) uniform is a little more tricky as they look like Regimental Sergeant Majors (RSM), the only difference is the Rank insignia on their Arms. Company Sergeant Majors have the Regimental Colour surmounted by two swords and a Crown on top. RSM's have the "Big Badge" which is also quite easy to spot, which is the coat of arms.
