NEVER SEEN THIS REGIMENT BEFORE.

This is the Band of the Bugles & The Rifles. The largest regiment in the Army, The Rifles is the county regiment for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Durham, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Somerset and Wiltshire. It currently includes four regular and three Reserve battalions. They are very rarely seen in London for the Guard Changes. They have recently been in Windsor as well, having returned from Greece Recently. The Old Guard Detachment is from The Brigade of The Gurkhas. The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) is a rifle regiment of the British Army, forming part of the Brigade of Gurkhas. There is also the Queen's Gurkha Signals Regiment, The Queen's Gurkha Engineer Regiment & the Queen's Own Logistic Regiment RLC based at Aldershot.

Before the Rifles there was the Light Infantry. 1st, 2nd and Third Battalions. PROUD to have been a member of the 1st!

No offence taken!! So many regiments have been cast aside. Their history, their colours, their sacrifices. We need to remember them. Cede Nullis

My dad was in the Ox and Bucks in WW2, also his father in WW1. He received a field promotion to WO2 in April 1916. My great grandfather served in the 82nd Regiment of Foot from 1853 to 1875. He served in the Crimea at Sevastopol, Balaclava. He was also in India during the uprising of 1857-59. I have in my possession his certificate of enlistment and discharge. Also his pay book listing where he served both abroad and in the UK. It shows his pay, clothing and equipment issued to him. He couldn't read or write so he put an X where his name was written in by the paymaster. Because he was unable to tell the paymaster how his surname was spelt, it was often written down differently from one paymaster to another. He wouldn't have know any different anyway.

Wow!! TY FOR THE INFO!! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! SOMEDAY I REALLY WANT TO GO TOTHE UK. AND THE OTHER AWESOME COUNTRIES. TY SO MUCH !! 🥰😂😅🤩👋👋💘💘🇺🇸🇺🇸

strange the rifle Regts have been round the time of Wellington. In 1800 the Experimental Corps of Riflemen was formed, eventually becoming the 95th (Rifle) Regiment of Foot in 1803.

Very nice video that I love ! Thank you for sharing it with pleasur . Happy week to you !

Down the years, the Rifle Brigade, Rifle Regiment, various fencible battalions, The Royal Green Jackets, The King's Royal Rifle Corps have worn the dark green uniform and the busby fur hats. Now the band still use the older uniform, but the Rifles go on.

I recall the disbandment of my country regiment (The Gloucestershire Regt which was subsumed by this great regiement). The Glosters were a great and famous regiment but their fame and traditions have not been forgotten and I note that one battalion of the Rifles still wears the famous back badge worn originally and uniquely by the Glosters.

The Rifles - Swift and Bold

Part of the Light Infantry, Green Jackets, marching speed same as the Ghurkas.

My Dad, Basil E. Simpson was bandmaster of the 1/RGJ in the 1960's when we were posted to Penang Malaya (now Malaysia) 'Swift & Bold"

Regimental Band bugles of the rifles 💂🇬🇧

Band is the British Rifle Regiment, I think the Gurkhas are their Signals Corp. Gurkha & Rifles both use Light Infantry drill movements, so they are "borrowing" the band. Light infantry march at 140 paces to the minute not 120.

These are The Rifles........formerly the old County Light Infantry Regiments..............Proud to have been part of The Durham Light Infantry.

Fascinating!! A Bassoon!!
