Happy memories of my time in the Band & Bugles of the D.L.I. At Copthorne barracks Shrewsbury, also with the lads from K.O.Y.L.I. the K.S.L.I. and the S.C.L.I. Reporting to the Guardroom in January 1960. Made some great friends. Where have the years gone.

My old Regiment ROYAL HAMILTON LIGHT INFANTRY (Wentworth Regiment) from CANADA is allied with the Somerset Light Infantry. We as well use the number 13 as we were known as the 13th Battalion Canadian Militia at one time. We adapted the SLI Regimental Colours of Green,Blue Yellow which can be found on our Regimental ties.

Peter Leemans tought music in my college (Athénée Fernand BLUM in Schaerbeek, a Brussels suburb). During WWII, he organidzed a concert of the school choir in a big concert hall iin Brussels (Palis des Beaux Arts). The choir sung Carl Orff Carmina Burana but gave also a vibrant performance of the national anthem (which was of course forbidden at the time). Military speaking, the Belgian army is largely influenced by British military traditions.Their was a Belgian section in the Navy, 26 Belgians lost their lives during the Battle of Britaine, flying in the RAF and our commandos were trained by the British. Until the 80's uniforms and even ranks were copied from Briitsh models (the use of terms like RSM or CSM were common).

Quadrille speed! Seriously, a good many of these regimental tunes, of about 1:30 to 2:00 minutes each, strung together in the classic six parts of a quadrille, would give dancers a good workout!

If you parade along with a Rifles band, the square is usually cleared first by the infantry units whose standard British Army march tempo is 120 to the minute. The Rifles band will then get going at 160 to the minute together with any Rifle units on parade.

The cadence, the marching step, for British light infantry is faster than the normal troop marching speed of one hundred twenty (120) paces per minute (about 3½ miles per hour!) Examples of such a faster cadence would include:Royal Green Jackets (RGJ) march at 140 steps per minute.Durham Light Infantry (DLI) march at 160 steps per minute. (In each case, one step being two and one half (2½) feet long (76 cm))From: militaryanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/march-ii-conclusion.html

Well, that's some time since I posted my comment. However, I admit to the 'typo' as the correct pace can be seen in the second part of what I wrote. The DLI pace equated to approx. 3.97mph as opposed to the 'normal' pace of 3.4mph, though the DLI pace was shorter than the 'standard' 30 inch pace used by others.

Hello, I am looking for the regimental march of the 2nd KSLI, called "The Daughter of the Regiment." I can only find "Old Towler" when I search for KSLI marches and I can only find the opera when I search for "The Daughter of the Regiment." Apparently it's not from or related to the opera from what I've seen. Can anyone point me to a recording of this tune please?
@thebestofforum8 жыл бұрын
I found this video while looking at other things and saw your 'plea.' Though it was made one month ago and I do not know if you want to purchase the tune or otherwise I did a (very) quick search and I wonder if this would be of any help to you. If not then I hope I haven't wasted your time ;) shropshireregimentalmuseum.co.uk/shop/view/2_CDs/197_KSLI_1963_Concert_Munster
