So true mate.

Everyone complained about doing the Lisburn Ring, but it was a laugh.

I hate driving past the old VCP points.
 
Was in 9 Royal Irish '99-01, before it amalgamated with 7. F Coy and then Bn HQ - returned to Regt Duties in 05 as TM RANGERS before leaving on KEDDLESTON at end '07. Good to hear some of the guys here on the forum. FAB.
 
Hi guys nice to see a forum for the UDR, Rangers and RIRISH. I served with 7, 7/10 and the Depot UDR and then with 7 RIRISH before retiring in 1997. I'm now working in Qatar but did work in Iraq from 2003 with CRG, Janusian and Aegis.

Keep in touch

A mate of mine was in Canterbury with 1 RIR.

His nickname is JC. Not puting in his full name for obvious reasons.

He is the RQMS at the minute.

A really good guy.

Sorry buddy I missed your reply and just noticed it.

It is a shame to see the Depot closed.

The end of an era.
