Product Information

The British Army is world renowned for its prowess in putting on a show – it has no peers when it comes to pomp and ceremony as was so magnificently demonstrated during Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee celebration weekend. It may sound relatively simple but it isn’t, the greatest obstacle is uneven ground and where an error is made being able to recover swiftly, none of which is aided by having to switch hands, all done in synchronicity with their team mates.

Whilst in the original competition there were four members of each team (Frontage) and a Driver, this has since evolved to a Frontage of three and a Driver, so four in total. In 2016, for the first time, a civilian team participated in the competition (Wathall, 2016). Blind Veterans UK, a charity, entered a team of three blind veterans – Kevin Alderton, Billy Baxter and Steve Birkin – led by a sighted Drum Major, WO2 Tony Taylor.Teams are drawn from across the British and foreign armed forces. Examples include (Oman MOD, 2014; The Craftsman, 2017; Forces Network, 2018; Reneaux, 2018):

It is tradition at this point that refreshments are served to the team, port for the sergeants and champagne for officers participating.Each team of four consists of the following Sergeants’ Mess members: a Driver (of the rank of Colour Sergeant or Warrant Officer Class Two), Right Marker (of the rank of Lance-Sergeant or Sergeant) and two team members (of the rank of Lance-Sergeant or Sergeant). He also instituted a competition between The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and The Guards Depot.
