Welcome Home all 1st Bn Lads now back fm the Badlands..
A well soldiered campaign displaying excellent moral and personal
courage.
Watched the coverage on UTV and the article in the Belfast Telegraph..
Colonel Mike McGovern spoke very well and came across with your
activities brilliantly. Gerry (webmaster) perhaps we can put in the
forum for all?
To all still serving whether under the colours or civi in all the
present theatres of operation - take care and know there are some who
do respect.

The message refers to Jimmy Thompson (bugler)2nd.Batt.I remember him
from my days at the Depot.But as Jim says,no mention of his death
anywhere else.This needs to be checked out.
