He wouldn't have. He would have joined up in about 1968 and assuming he did 22 years retired around 1990. Apart from Northern Ireland, UN stuff in Cyprus and the Falklands there wasn't much going on medal wise. Aden was finished by the end of 1967, Irish regiments were exempt from serving in Northern Ireland until the 80s with the Micks not being deployed there until 1992. I think they did Cyprus, looks like one of the sergeants in the video has got the medal but the RSM here might have been doing something else. There was the Falklands of course but only about 4000 went there which didn't include the Irish Guards or, indeed, me. I got me General Service Medal for Northern Ireland and the UN medal for Cyprus which was pretty much the standard for the 70/80/90s.

You clearly know nothing about the regiment and her marvellous men. Shut up.

Probably never actually had to listen for a word of command, over the sound of bands etc. And Guards Sergt Majors are not people you ignore or laugh at. So, there is a reason, and it woud be better to learn than show ingnorance?
