That is NOT British drill, or anywhere else in the Commonwealth (or Empire as it was called back then). And that's not the way drill commands are given in the Commonwealth.
Drill commands are given clearly, enunciated so they can be understood. As far as I know the US military is the only military where drill commands are given in gibberish.
