That is an excellent voice of command with a sharp clear executive that can be heard for miles! It certainly helps those on parade to execute crisp movements. Respect.

There's actually a reason for that pitching; a sharp pitch is more likely to be heard on the parade square as well as the battlefield. And on the battlefield, the sergeant majors who can shout this way, don't have to shout as loud to be heard.

As they'd never see action in Red Tunics...why they couldn't continue using the Enfield Mk 4, because they had to adapt the drill when the SLR came in... the American Drill Squads still use the Garand for Ceremonial duties! Didn't change over to the M16 when that was their main battle rifle!

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.

Not the first time I've heard the 'shriek' but only by Sergeant Majors with Guards units in old videos. Was this a tradition that was recently discarded? Did only the Irish Guards do this as a homage to the Celtic yell?

good ones the SA80 system is far more effective and the bullpup design makes the weapon alot easier to handle and use in tight spaces without sacrificing range or fire power. Go read up about it you might realize where your going wrong in life.

Higher capacity magazines, durability in extreme environments, smaller calibre meaning can carry more ammunition, yet still has an effective range of 400metres. The ammunition can be shared with the Minimi, as well as the magazines. Has been proven to be a very effective weapon.

That movement is called a Left (or Right) Form. It enables the 'line' formation to be retained whilst changing the direction of advance.

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?
