Watched this exact film nearly thirty years ago. Still remember it precisely. The British Army pre Blair 1997 was an awesome creation. I am honoured to have given it my youth and it will live forever live in my heart.

Remember the film, and others like it, from the '70s - did the drills, wearing the same crap equipment as well. Steel helmet totally impractical, as soon as you dived to the ground, the bloody thing was knocked down over your eyes. Ah, the memories....

I very much like how the orders given are clear, simple, and to the point, with the the main objective repeated twice. In my work people start getting stroppy or intelligence-offended when I make procedures or instructions as simple, clear and as unambiguous as possible.

In training it's always emphasised that infantry instructions have to be made crystal clear. The blokes receiving them will be under immense fatigue, so you got to get through to them.

I was in the British Army and I remember watching this film in the early 1980s in West Germany. It was pointed out that we were the only only army wearing camouflage pattern, even the Yanks wore dark green, as did every other NATO country. But we still wore puttees which went back to the 19th century and our tin hats were first issued 1944. My SLR had a plastic butt and a wooden stock.

This film featured soldiers from the Demonstration Battalion at the School of Infantry, Warminster and was made in about 1969 or '70. The Demo Bn. at the time were the Sherwood Foresters .The Section Commander was an Irishman called Rooney who was my Tactics Instrructor at the Infantry Junior Leaders Battalion, Oswestry, a few years later. Good to see this film again after so many years.

Tell him it was in 1973 and the other sergeant in our platoon was also an Irishman, De Domenico from The Queens Regiment, an ex-Para. Our officer was Mr. Scotter from the Green Jackets but he was badly injured in a car accident and the platoon was then broken up and spread around the other platoons as there was a no-one to take over from him.

I first saw this film in 1973 and yes, 2 Royal Irish were Demo. Bn. at that time, I remember we had a presentation from their Assault Pioneer Platoon on Trench-blowing and other things on the Plain near Bulford in fact. This film predates that though. By then the Foresters had amalgamated with the Worcestershire Regiment and were now The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment. Funnily enough, about 16 years later, my own Bn. relieved 1WFR as Demo. Bn at Warminster and I ended up appearing an 81mm Mortar Training film!

Back in the days when the prospect of Warsaw Pact tanks pouring through the Fulda gap was one that we all lived with as a genuine possibility. Would have been a tank engagement to rival Kursk or Cherkassy and it was by no means certain who would have prevailed. I, for one, am glad we never had to find out. It would probably have made little difference in any case; whichever side came off worse would very likely have pressed the Big Red Button and we'd _all_ have been doomed. It seems weird to think that there's already a couple of generations alive now that never had to contend with the awful prospect of nuclear destruction. It was something I had regular nightmares about as a child, even though the danger had receded compared to what my parents lived with in the 60's. I sincerely hope things never deteriorate to that state again. Things aren't looking too good just lately.

What do you mean 'wrong'? Section fire and maneauver can be done in different ways. The gun group method seen here was standard when the film was made due to the section weapon split. You try pepper potting with a GPMG and ammo and you'll understand why it is used as a fire base. These days it is a more equal mix, with fire teams being more equal in make up. This means more pairs/fire team F&M rather than a separate gun group. Oh, and who the fuck says Tangos?
