100% and I can't imagine the effect of basic training and what you learned there being forgotten until long afterwards.

In the British army, even regular non-guardsman, infantry will usually parade into towns. They love a bit on pomp and ceremony. For example, even now regiments like the black watch regiment would be bagpipes bearing, marching in perfect unison into some place and then roll off to war.

They didn't want to be there and their imo their COs didn't want to kick off at them in front of the cameras.
