Who else did this there’s 300,000 of us?
1978 is the year I first went,though I never actually patrolled on foot.
From what I am learning some of you went through hell,so many stories untold and history is being re written against us.

What do you mean?Originally Posted by bwest76
A real soldier never tells of what he / she did in the province. Unless that person is a WALT.
Ex Sneaky Beaky Maddog?
No.
Why did this topic ever come to light. Was the OP that fed up.
Wrong, unless I know 16,000 or more of them anyone bragging would be given short shrift.
I didn’t do anything glamorous but I did my bit.
I never talk about my days in NI, but I did my bit.
I think brag is the wrong word to use. People remember what they did.
Why would anybody want to discuss anything related to this on a public forum?.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Damn right. That's also why I'll never reveal my role on the balcony of the Iranian embassy.
You are Kate Adie and I claim my £5
Steven Mitchell, CBE, DCM, MM was pretty explicit about what he did in his book Seven Troop; a person about as far from being a Walt as possible, I'd say.
The OP doesn’t even know the colour of the boathouse at Hereford...........
By him starting a thread like this, I don't think he even know's what day of the week it is.
Nice reference and a great film, massively underrated I always thought!
I had the honour of meeting Steven, aka Andy McNab many years ago. I thought he was a very nice guy. He was doing a Q and A at Strike Command ( now Air Command ).
He even signed a couple of his books , IA and B20 for me.
All his books are fiction,if you served you should be aware of what’s happening and lending your support.
Dismissing what’s happening to your mates and what they are going through is bad form.
