This is also the norm in the PPCLI and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.

It is also normal custom in The Windsor Regiment (RCAC) for the RSM to wear his sword and carry his cane.

Never seen it done in the Armour Corps in 22+ years.

Well, DP, we all know the Corps doesn't consider the Reserves truly part of itself. Unless they need people for course staff, deployments, exercises, GDs, equipment, enemy force, echelons, etc. ;D

j\k. Just to good an opening to pass up We really are one big family.

Woah,

So a Highland Regiment RSM would in fact be carrying a pace stick, sword, dirk, and a sgian dubh.  1 martial stick, and 3 lethal blades... talk about a parade square ninja!  ;D

Was a reservist myself eons ago....RSM never carried a sword for the 8CH and never saw the RSM for the PEIR do it.

Meh.

Sorry, I refuse to have the troops paint rocks when they could be shooting or getting fit.

Guards - on parade.  Their job is to look pretty.  The war thing is secondary.

I suggest you shut your mouth and think about the Guardsmen who have died soldiering.
