People forget these men lived in the areas they worked in. My dad was in 6 UDR and was lucky enough never to be targeted or injured, same for the men in his section. 24 hour shifts, patroling the border, lying in ditches for hours. Grateful to them all 🇬🇧

God bless the brave, indomitable Ulstermen who devoted their very lives to the defence of His Majesty’s Sovereign Realm, the integral part of the United Kingdom that is the Six Counties. Union then, Union now, Union forever. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

Atypical parochial/sectarian militia in an internecine conflict. Remind me of some of the home defense units in the South African army during apartheid. Very similar to various colonial paramilitary units of empire. Interesting seige mentality ethos driven by a deep seated fear of losing societal dominance.

No. All were from Northern Ireland. However, due to intimidation and assassination from their own Catholic neighbours and the IRA, their numbers dwindled to next to nothing very quickly. I say this from personal experience 71-76.
