Singing along! 😅

Always remember being sent to the Grenadier Guards to install some comms for them on excercise. The fellas were all digging trenches whilst the CO, Major Sir double barrelled surname, was sitting in a deckchair, with his shooting stick, and two spaniels, directing operations, via a very subserviant sergeant 😂😂😂

I hated that MGB........... veteran 15 year Sapper

Constant reminder of Canadian initiative to sustained resistance defence by seasoned German paras. Terrible losses taken by this offensive action coming up to Christmas.

Lt Col. Rogers, Royal Engineers do not run away! We actually had the most MMs issued for the Op

Anyone else notice how good the DPM is? I do wonder if our current type of camouflage clothing doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in European woodland.

My Dad started at Chepstow in1932 as a boy aged 16 and retired in 1976 at RSME as a Lt. Col.

The RE Captain sounds just like Harry Enfield. 😀

This is a comment to the brave and coreouges men from Grange mouth in 1975.who lost their lives on the trent River..pat harkins only survivor remained a humble and guinien man.my old dad John Cowie. Ex sas .was ordered. Drive between pick up points..he had to live with that order till he died 5 years ago. He was a humble, loving, generous father, grandfather and great grandfather. He never forgot his company. To all in 131 commando. Thankyou. Andy.

Every one of these Royal Engineers is a McGyver ! Just brilliant!

Her Majesty’s Corps was amazing, I say was as I felt the standards dropped severely once females were allowed to join the ranks. Nothing against them being able to think on their feet but the sheer physical aspect of the job the women simply couldn’t do. We are front line (in front of the front line on occasion) we have to be at our strongest 100% of the time.

I was once part of Her Majesty’s Corps of Royal Engineers. And o can truly say that the Corps was far better before they started letting females join our ranks. This decision seriously brought down performance levels. I’ve been on bridging sights where the females have completely gave up, Sappers don’t give up!! Sappers do, can’t means won’t, won’t means jail. The M.O.D need to up the standards of the entire British Army once again. Back to 9:30 BFT, and 1hr 30min CFT. When I was leaving I overweight people coming into my Unit straight from training. This was unacceptable. There’s standards for a reason. Once a Sapper, always a Sapper🇬🇧🇬🇧

I grew with this!! 😄💕

Ubique

Cool video, better than some I've seen... New recruits shall get a bit of a rude awakening then, and so they should! Ex.131 RE Ubique

@ 7 mins......well thats fkin tactical 😂😂

Ruperts, Ruperts everywhere.....

Hurrah for the CRE

Direct combat infantry role troops would wear their tin hats. Troops like Engineers would wear soft lids whilst working. This continued up until the Kevlar helmet was introduced. Now is helmets all the time in the field.

My great grandad was royal engineers, a captain at Dunkirk with great stories of this, after serving under monty at el alamein he was promoted to major, his final battle was monte cassino! Gosh ever so proud of him, great video

My God, were our commanders that useless in 1982?

Absolute historic greatness! Ex. @16:08 where you can plainly see the entire office staff has turned out for the film!

state of those kidney pouches !!

What so i apply for to do the diving role?

Great commentary, awesome night.

Trying to contact Alastair Dickinson

9 squadron always win, they duff up all the hats

Unfortunately we wouldn’t have the manpower or equipment to play this out now 🤦🏻‍♂️

Top unit.

UBIQUE Brother

G'wan Dave !! 42 Legend

Can we get an updated driver one please

My Dad gave the Royal Engineers 25 years he marched into Valhalla on the 13th of Feb. 2024 at 21:00 hrs so proud of all you boys he still felt part of your family thank you.

I have watched some very good interviews with other ranks who told the on the ground story. Much better. If you want to watch some very good and real battle facts watch the 225 episodes of fighting men of rhodesia / john van zyl.

Great vid, terrible music

"Follow the Sapper" would have been my title for the film

Thanks for posting. There are some particularly interesting insights from the actual officers who took part in the actions.

I always sing along 😅

Loved my time in the RE and my careers officer was right.. get a trade first and then if you like the soldiering side of it progress.. I look back at my time in 59 commando with the fondest of memories earning my green lid and setting myself up for a career after the army was all worth it

23:56 wow! A harsh reality of war. Those young men who could not finish the March and had to be left behind due to the condition of their feet or of their fortitude, I'm labeled war dodgers because they would not be seen back in their units again until they had returned to England

4:25 add a fence for air defense

I'm coming keep my name

MOORE WAS A FC...WHAT A YELLOW RM.

Im joining the Royal Engineers next year when i have done my Basic Training. As someone who is called Taff is in my ACF and i want to go in his footsteps. Do you have any advice for me?

An Air Vice Marshal for two squadrons!!!!!!!! Equivalent to Major General = 2 Star General!!

The difference between then and now is telling. NATO must station troops in West/North Ukraine so that all Ukraine forces can be brought to battle against the Russians in the South/East.

Any chance of a video about RE operations in particular. GW1, GW2 and the Falklands.

Billions was a lot then. Now no one blinks at trillions.

That music's not how I remember 59 lol
