Oh dear....more reminiscing....

Post by DelP »

Hi folks,

11th Signal Regiment, Helles Barracks, Catterick Garrison...

...the very same parade square where me and my mates had our Pass Off parade in the mid '70s. Of course we were a lot smarter, lots more swagger, were in focus and didn't suffer from dodgy sound at the end..... :lol:

Proper military drill...unlike the Americans who stroll around in vaguely straight lines and have to sing songs to keep in step :hide: :lol:

Parade will advance in review order

Yeah, but we don't need music. We just use it occasionally for spice. Usually, the beat makes itself. :)

That's OK Tony...I was Royal Corps of Signals, not Catering Corps.... ;) :lol:

My comments about US military drill were purely tongue in cheek..... ;)
