Young Boy Salutes Troops


I'm not sure quite what's going on here, but it has 'feel-good' factor.

  1. The Eyes Right is most significant here and good on the Commander for ordering the troops thus. A splendid example to all, a young boy showing respect for the army and the army for him. Lovely.

    1. It has a wonderful feeling about it, on all sides. The boy seems very sincere. Well done all.

  2. My saluting is generally quite poor so I shall have to practise - following the young lad's example. It will take me a while to get that heel kick right.

    1. From my brief Officer Training days, I remember it was 'longest way up, and shortest way down'.

    1. I believe he was Belgian, and the marching regiment had served over there during WW2, and saved the day.

  6. So good and the little boy was loving being part of it all and lovely they included him.
    Bloody freezing here today ... the heating has gone on even though, for some reason, I don’t like putting it on until October ! Blue skies though. XXXX

    1. I refuse to light our fire until October too. It was freezing here this morning; 6 C. Now the sun is shining, and Lady M is about to put our washing on the line (a good sign).

  7. While it may breech protocols, it is a pity none saluted him in return. It reminds me of the boys who run the children's railway in Buda, Hungary, who salute passengers as the train travels through the Buda hills.

    1. The essence here is that Eyes Right is the highest accolade. They did him proud.

    2. The officer salutes him whilst calling for an 'Eyes Right', as Rachel says this is the highest accolade.

    1. It's amazing how short videos, such as this, can be so powerful.
