After endless Amarillo rip offs, camper than a row of tents dance videos and cringe inducing tributes on Mother Day, finally, a funny video.
Well done CPL Davies and team, Merseyside RMR

Times must be hard…no swan…..
These are Royal Marine Commandos, not the Household Cavalry!
Even in the Household Cavalry it would only have been one officer with swan, and then only if he’d got a care package from his Grandmother.
During WW1 officers purchased a lot of there own kit. Barberry macs (trench coats) for example. They also got to pick and purchase there own sidearm (Mauser C96 was a popular choice). Being an officer use to be very expensive in the past. They have lost the freedom to pick kit but it has made there live a lot cheaper.
There’s a great bit in Robert Graves’ Goodbye to All That about that. The second time around, he got rid of all the kit he was issued for France, and deployed with:
a revolver.
a bayonet.
a set of civilian wire cutters, because the army ones only cut our wire, not the German sort.
a complete Shakespeare and a Bible, printed on some sort of thin, damp resistant paper I forget.
some kit list.
Brilliant , v dry scouse humour!
I knew there was a reason RMC officers had to complete the 30miler an hour faster than OR recruits , time for a proper wash and brush up before luncheon.
Excellent joke at the expense of Rank Has its Privileges.
