Very interesting. They are renovating the area right now. Tore everything down. Sad.

I would guess the programme was made around 1968/9. Clues? Green Combat Uniform - DPM was not introducted until the end of 1970. Khaki Jersey Heavy Wool with draw cord at front. Green Pullovers did not appear until 1971

Germany is great for married soldiers but not for single soldiers, most tend to stay in camp and prefer socialising in the NAAFI bar. They tend to venture out occasionally to get their chips and bratty..

There were many Protestants who lived and died in the same type of slums. Poverty never discriminated.

I've only just come across this story and I have to say, this is one of the craziest British military stories out there.

Wow! I thought conditions in ‘92 were rough. Looks we had luxury apartments compared to what they had in ‘77! But who joins the Army for a comfortable life? 🤣

We were Province Reserve, stationed in Ballykinlar, Co. Down from '71 -73 all across this period, Regularly getting called up to both Belfast and Londonderry. There for Bloody Sunday, Op Motorman, mean very little to people now a days Which is a real pity for all who died during the troubles.

Brilliant, thank you 😊

If this is supposed to be 1966 why are you carrying SLRs ?

I served with the 13/18 in Malaysia 1958 to 1960.happy memory.

He lives in our hearts and will always be remembered forever. Thank you all for your appreciation of his song. Bebby Harding Molly Harding (Wife & Daughter)

This is the second time I've watched this, looking back in 1988, newlodge was out of bounds for months for some reason. We were told we're going back in patrolling, you should have seen the look on the civilians faces when we tipped up. I jokenly said cheerfully to one of them "Good morning" and I got the dirtiest look I ever had from that patrol.

The north of Ireland was the biggest training ground for the political Master s of the british the last collinly

In spite of national service being abolished britain still Able to fight a war in asia!

Sectarianism in Ireland was always a British strategy rather than an Irish malady.

the movie sinking of lisbon maru released this month and ranked 9.2/10

At 11:30 the Harrier is landing on the grass strip at Holdfast Camp. In 1984 I spent 6 months in Holdfast, looks like there was some development between the filming in 77 and my stay. I did enjoy those 6 months. 🟩

❤ love this! Worked with them in NI. Cracking regiment.

My dad had Brown's Centa Market shop on Willington st, we also had shops in Parkwood and Larksfield. Also cafe in Moat park.

How tragic the Republic of Ireland remains ruled by foreigners via EU papal empire . A new Ireland is needed . An Ireland free from London and free from eu / Vatican . An ulster with devolved government acknowledging its unique independent region of the island with its ancient links to Scotland and the north of England . It’s people it’s culture its religion of Patrick the evangelist. All unique to ulster .

We will NEVER know the truth if Bloody Sunday ever . Tony Blair gave it as sop to appease IRA killers . Who murdered more innocent Roman Catholics and Irish Protestants than ALL other terrorist groups combined . Fact . I’m sick of the self serving self righteous hypocrisy of those who support terrorist on either side .

Shows it is dated, berets being worn correctly 🤓

Did my training there in 1969, loved the place. Posted to Gibraltar after my training joined 3 RRF

wankers

How come they conveniently missed out the Royal Pioneers, they done their training with them. Or aren't they not glamorous enough. Rhine Platoon August - December 1986.

Pure shite , the Brit’s do not want to leave Ireland, even in death they find a British agent woman to lie for them Robert the poor oul lad should have stayed in England, he had no business in Armagh

Load of shitee , terrible actress

This was very interesting I served in forkhill in south armagh

My Father stay there.

Dont forget it was the women on the Falls road who welcomed the British army into West Belfast with cups of tea.

Every death is sad really sad as is a life spent under British occupation. Go home Britain stop sending your sons and daughters into other peoples lands with guns it has NEVER ended well .
