-No, they won't. -It's a fair trek for them. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-Will they watch it on television? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-Will they watch it on television? - -Yes, my mother will be. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-She always watches out for me -on the screen. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-She always catches me out. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-The barracks remind me -of an university block. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
-There's a common room -and a shared kitchen. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
-Guardsman Rhisarts -set fire to the kitchen. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
-It went up in flames -so we've got a brand-new kitchen. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
-This is it. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-Alright? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-Excuse the mess. -I'm preparing my kit. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-This flag has been in all my rooms -from when I first joined the army. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:24 | |
-The photographs are of my family, -girlfriend and friends. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
-When I was fighting in Afghan, -I was able to call home once a week. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
-I had to share 30 minutes -between my girlfriend... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
-..mother and father.... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
-..so I couldn't call them -all the time. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-I'd contact one person a week. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-They were always relieved -to hear my voice. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-Some of the boys speak Welsh -to each other... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-..but the others -don't understand us. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-They think that -we're talking about them... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-..but this isn't the case. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-If I had a problem with them, -I'd speak to them in English. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-We're all like brothers -from different backgrounds. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
-Some are from the Gambia, -South Wales or North Wales. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-We're all like brothers. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Let me show you what I've been doing -in preparation for tomorrow... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
-..and the Queen's Guard. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
-This is the tunic -I'm wearing tomorrow. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-The top of the leek -represents the princes of Wales... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
-..and the bottom -serves as the counties of Wales. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
-You close all the buttons... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-..and there are clasps at the neck. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-Have you got your bearskin here? | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
-Have you got your bearskin here? - -Yes, it's in there. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-Sorry. It's in here. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
-It's up here because it's wet. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-I'll stick it under the tap -with shampoo and conditioner... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-..and leave it to dry. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-The bearskin is made -from the fur of a Canadian bear. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
-When fighting in wars... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-..it made the Guards look taller -when they'd charge at the enemy. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-It intimidated the enemy -and it gave them a fear factor. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-Soldiers on horseback would try -to swipe off a Guard's head... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:44 | |
-..but they'd hit off -the bearskin instead. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-The difference between an officer's -bearskin and those of other ranks... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
-..is that an officer's bearskin -is made from female bears. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
-An officer's bearskin -is thinner and taller... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-..but a guardsman wears -a smaller and thicker hat. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
-An officer's bearskin -is better quality. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
-It's taller and the fur is smoother. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-The officers' bearskins -look better than others. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
-The guardsmen wash them -with shampoo and conditioner... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-..but the officers -just brush their hats. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
-They're quite light to wear. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-The frame is made from cane -and they have to fit properly. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
-A quality bearskin -sits perfectly on your head. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
-If there's a gap, -it'll wobble on your head. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
-A tight hat will get stuck -and restrict any ventilation. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
-If the bearskin doesn't fit, -it places pressure on the head... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
-..and causes a guardsman -to collapse on parade. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-The fur -makes your nose and eyes itch. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
-The guards will shake their heads -or try to blow it away. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-They're not meant to, but they -do it when nobody is looking. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
-The red jacket originally -was cochineal dyed... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
-..so if the person got shot, -the enemy wouldn't see. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-It was my father who got involved. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-He was a phenomenal tailor... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-..and he got the first contract -for the scarlets... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..some sixty-eight years ago. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-I suppose the word is proud -and it does come before money. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-Most tunics look the same... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-..but the buttons -are the obvious difference. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-The 5th Foot Guards -wear a cluster of five buttons. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-Our cap badge also appears -on the epaulettes... | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-..and on the collars. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-This is cutting a guard's tunic. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-It goes from one person. -He marks, they cut. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
-The next part is the young ladies. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-They work on the jackets... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-..once they've been cut -on a machine. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-That's a solid week's work. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
-How are you getting on? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-It's difficult and not easy. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-This is really hard to sew. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
-It's not easy at all. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-It involves a lot of work. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-It's not like a civilian jacket -with just seams. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-These are embroidered -with all sorts of things on them. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:59 | |
-That's a very intricate collar. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
-It looks normal but nothing -on an uniform is normal... | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-..because everything stands -and falls. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-It's very hard -to make it look right. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-The tunics differ between -junior and senior ranks. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-These are three different styles -of tunic. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-This tunic -is worn by a warrant officer. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-The collar, epaulettes -and sleeves... | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
-..all feature gold stitching. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-The leek on the collar and epaulette -is made from silver embroidery. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
-The tunics are -tailored-made for you. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-A sergeant's tunic is custom-made -and includes your name. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
-A warrant officer's tunic features -more gold and looks a lot smarter. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:56 | |
-A guardsman wears this tunic -until he becomes a lance sergeant. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-The sleeves are white... | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-..and so are the leeks -on the epaulettes and collar. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
-There's also white on the back -instead of gold. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
-What's the difference between -an officer and guardsman's tunic? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
-They are made -from the same material. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-But the officer's tunic -includes more gold and swirls... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-..and they carry a sword. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-The uniforms haven't changed -for hundreds of years. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
-When you see the uniforms, you see -hundreds of years of tradition. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:42 | |
-You do feel proud... | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-..because it's quite -a prestigious ceremony. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-The crowds are astounding. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-The Welsh Guards are fortunate -to wear this uniform every day. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-We're proud to continue tradition... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-..and wear attire -that's part of Welsh history. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
-That's a state coat. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-What's it for? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-What's it for? - -It's worn by the household cavalry. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
-He's a musician. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
-A very expensive musician. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-The underneath -is all gold and embroidery. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-They cover it -so it doesn't get damaged. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-How much does it cost? | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-How much does it cost? - -I can't tell you. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-I'm sorry. I can't tell you. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-This work on its own isn't enough. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-We couldn't afford to do it -if we didn't have other work. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-It would cost us around 1 million -a year if that's all we were doing. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-We can't put everything -we possess into it. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-This is what we do and enjoy doing. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
-I'm sewing through rock-hard inners. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Buckram. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
-You don't do that because you -have to but because you want to. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
-They'll do this -for as long as it exists. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
-This is not something that another -company can whip up and start doing. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:16 | |
-We've been in it a long time. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-You've got to love this -or don't do it. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-They've got the same attitude. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-It's love for what they do. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |

-Catterick is key. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
-The assault course inspires people -to work as a team. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |

-Every muscle is used -to the point of exhaustion. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-Timing is everything. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
-When you scale the wall... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |

-If you're too close, -you'll jump into the wall. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-Big jump. Jump on landing. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
-Ready? Big hit... go! | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-The wall is about -ten or twelve-feet tall. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
-Everyone worked as a team, -but it was still punishing. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
-You learn to pull together -as a team when someone is flagging. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-If you're in Afghanistan -and a soldier is struggling... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |

-The Welsh Guards are the Queen's -bodyguards at Buckingham Palace. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
-A ceremonial role means that they -must focus on events in London... | 0:16:59 | 0:17:05 | |
-..and dismiss their role -as a soldier on the front line. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
-I prefer the operational -as there's a focus. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-The ceremonial is fantastic -on the day you're doing it. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-But we do it for months on end, -so the monotony gets overbearing. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
-The Guards haven't been -on the battlefield since Kenya. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:29 | |
-We've been occupied -with ceremonial duties. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-We grab every opportunity... | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-..to swap the red uniform -for some combat gear... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
-..just so they can maintain -their skills. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-March 2015 -Pirbright, Woking | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
-Our training focuses -on conventional warfare. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-We don't prepare them -for Afghanistan or Bosnia. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:01 | |
-We teach the fundamentals -and adapt them to each operation. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-Our basics must be spot on. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-If we head overseas tomorrow, -we'll adapt our skills for it. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
-When you've had a long period -of public duties... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
-..it's always nice to refresh -your operational skills. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-Every few months, an exercise -will keep us competent and ready. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
-Get around the boys now. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
-Get them loaded and made ready -for a section attack. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-A section attack leads -to a platoon and company attack... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
-..then a battalion attack. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:40 | |
-If we don't get it right, -we won't succeed. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
-You have to think about contact -and make quick decisions. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:50 | |
-Some of us are Welsh speakers, so -it's easier to communicate in Welsh. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
-In a single file? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:57 | |
-In a single file? - -Yes, when you're ready. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
-I'll express anything important -in English... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-..as most of the boys -from the south speak English... | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
-..but if it's just me and him, -I'll speak Welsh. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-The boys were patrolled in... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-..but the location of the enemy -or point of contact is unknown. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
-We'll test their reaction -to the enemy. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-GUN SHOTS | 0:19:23 | 0:19:24 | |
-Contact, right! 213, close in! | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
-Contact, right! 213, close in! - -213, close in! | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
-Get on your belt buckle -and change that mag, Harding! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-After the initial reaction... | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-..the section commander -has to make a decision. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-Does he go left, right -or straight ahead? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-213, take over! | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
-Charlie, call cavalry fire! | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-Kes, peel around! | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
-They can suffer from skill-fade. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-If you don't do it every day, -you'll experience skill-fade. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
-But it doesn't take long -before you remember everything. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-After a couple of days, -you're back on form. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-The officers try to grab -every opportunity... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-..to fit in as much training -as possible. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-We aren't a tourist attraction -but soldiers with a job to do. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
-I had to control -the whole section... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
-..and made sure that everyone -defeated the enemy. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:32 | |
-We don't need to worry about -collateral damage or civilians. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:37 | |
-This is conventional -so we worry about the enemy. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
-Oh ****! | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-Rapid fire! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-Rapid fire! - -Rapid fire! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
-GUN SHOTS | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-There's so much smoke. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-For ***** sake! | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-Some were good and others were poor. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-You'll smoke off your fire support. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
-They decided to release the smoke. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
-But unfortunately, -they used it incorrectly. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
-The smoke screened them off. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-They couldn't see Charlie -and shot around him. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
-This is the time to make mistakes. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
-To get that angle on -your fire support... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-..you need to go right -or move your fire support. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-The army hasn't changed much... | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-..but they way we treat -and train soldiers has evolved. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-Come on! Get up the hill. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-When I joined, -the instructors were scary. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:42 | |
-They'd dish out commands -and treat soldiers like robots. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
-Our training is different now. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-We want soldiers to make -their own decisions. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
-Make your way down to the bottom. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
-Take your helmet off -for a quick de-brief. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-What happened? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-What happened? - -We got contact. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
-From where? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
-From where? - -Up there. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-Is that left, right or front? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
-Is that left, right or front? - -Left. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-Just a couple points, boys. -We're here to learn. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
-Passage of messages. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
-The session commander -hasn't got time to repeat himself. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
-He was shouting it -three of four times. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
-He shouts it once and you obey it. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-The boys can feel restricted -to their duties in London. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
-It's great at the start... | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
-..but after six months -the novelty wears off... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
-..and they want to return to this. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-They could be back in London -tomorrow... | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-..so it's important -that we switch roles. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
-On the plus side, -there was aggression. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
-Harding did well going across the -front and came around left-flanking. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
-Would you choose -ceremonial duties or this? | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
-I enjoy both roles. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
-I like the ceremonial duties -but I also like this. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
-The Guards -leave Kenya on a Friday... | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
-..for forecourt duties -in London on the Monday. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
-Nobody else does this. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
