Without having a concrete answer, I would guess that it is just a standard to keep them all in perfect step. If no matter the branch, all soldiers start on the same foot then there is no confusion on the parade ground.

Why were the British soldiers marching on Bloody Sunday?
The marchers were originally civil rights protesters. This was then hijacked by the IRA and turned in to an armed assault on the soldiers who were on peace keeping duty. The end result was pretty much what one would expect when an amateur army (IRA) tried to take on professional soldiers face to face. Subsequently there have been 3 inquiries. The first two held while memories and witnesses were fresh (and protected) cleared the army. The third held many years later and with no protection left for witnesses blamed them. Subsequent to this photographs have emerged of Martin McGuiness ( a "witness" who blamed the soldiers) proving he was IRA a bombmaker and a weapon supplier to those attacking soldiers -

How detailed were the marching formations of the Prussian army in the 18th century?
The Prussians at one time dominated battlefields in European wars. Part of the Prussian success was due to exact and precise marching maneuvers. For example, Prussian officers trained their soldiers to march in cadence with the left foot starting first. This would be in unison with drumbeats. By the 1730's marching soldiers had a stride of 65 per minute, with each pace to be at two feet. In attack mode the rate of pace would be altered and increased to 75 -80 paces per minute.

How do you sing military cadences?
United States Military Cadences are sung in either a marching or running formation of soldiers/cadets. They are sung first by a commander or someone else in the formation that is then repeated by rest of the soldiers in the fomation. Once the commander is finished with one line the others then repeat that same line. The cadence is sung so that there is a lightly upped tone in the voice of Soldiers when the left foot hits the ground. (i.e. HERE we GO again, SAME old STUFF again MARCHING down THE avenue SAME old STUFF and WELL be THROUGH.)
