Galloping 23rd of foot. Proud to have served in the battalion

[@nickbosquet7084]

Sad yet this is the history associated with every Major Unit of the British Army who served in the Infantry role in Northern Ireland from 1970 till the end of Operation Banner. May the fallen RIP and those who survived will always remember you. Nick Bosquet, 1 Glosters

[@aidanmoore8499]

Will you remember the unarmed civilians murdered in cold blood by your brave lads?

[@theflowerwhosavedtheuniver5658]

Thank you to all of you who served here. I'm sure it was everyone's worse nightmare being told you were being posted to NI. Must have been horrendous for your families as well. As much as I love my wee country, I hate that so many good people lost their lives and for what, so that 30 years later, the politicians could start doing what they should've done in the first place. So needless the whole thing. RIP those who didn't make it home and God Bless those of you who did x

[@charlesjohn7492]

Yes so needless the whole thing. If only the Brits, both colonists and military had stayed in their own country.

Knew the Royal Welch at Montgomery Barracks, Berlin, early 90's - good set of lads...

Dem kann ich nur zustimmen , die Royal Welsh Fusiliers waren auch in Lemgo / Deutschland Stationiert und waren ein Partner Bataillon des Panzergrenadier Bataillons 212 im Augustdorf . Wir tauchten auch Truppenteile aus um die Arbeit des anderen kennen zu lernen . Auch Handfeuerwaffen wurden beim Vergleich Schießen getauscht oder Koppel und Tragezeug untereinander Ausprobiert . Teils mit seltsamen Ergebnissen . Mit einem der Männer hatte ich sofort einen guten Draht .Obwohl ich nie Englisch gelernt hatte konnten wir uns verständigen . Er nahm gerne Mein Koppeltragegestell mit Kleiner Kampftasche und Ausrüstung während ich sein Koppelzeug beim Marsch trug . Wir wurden seltsamer weis beide dadurch schneller . Kurz vor dem Schießstand wieder schnell zurückgetauscht legten wir eine gute Zeit hin . Die Nacht vor dem Abschied wurde noch mal richtig zusammen gefeiert , Hart und Herzhaft ! Wir konnten einiges von ihnen lernen , die Jungs waren regelmäßig in Belfast im Einsatz . Hut ab Männer ! Meine Dientzeit war von 01.1977 - 12.1980 . Vielleicht finde ich den einen oder andern hier wieder .

[@markrushton3362]

Total respect.

Another fine regiment disbanded, sorry, "amalgamated". Robert Graves wrote a fine book, "Goodbye to all that" about his service with them in the First World War.

Hey guys I grew up in Northern Ireland. Born 72. Never got indoctorated in this mire of political shite. By family worked for the Army so I grew up around camps. I for one would like to offer thanks to all the troops that served here. I apologise and I am ashamed of this place.

[@jf723]

@My Toilet Shitehouse I would not want to ignore suffering on all sides of the conflict. This was not these brave Welsh mens war. They came here to separate a very divided country. Dont forget Loyalists attacked the military also. Having a member of family is this regiment (I am half Welsh) I will continue to support my patriots and you are very much entitled to respect your patriots. I just wish peace for this place now. God forbid we ever go back to the bad days. Take care.

[@aidanmoore8499]

" Never got indoctrinates with the political shite" your family were happy to serve the needs of an occupying army so clearly your family were part of the problem.

[@neutralfm9620]

@@jf723 There was a lot of suffering years before and after this. The regiments and British army got a lot more than they bargained for and I think we all know thats a fact. I'm also half Welsh.
