        No...
        'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
        'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
        Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
        He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                  An urban myth, the pdf have never sent a cadet to sandhurst, why would they, sandhurst role s to train officers and the pdf have the cadet school. Only small states that cant justify their own officer training establishments like trinidad and tobago do things like that. If they sent somebody he be seriously disadvantaged in his eventual career. The only time they did was with women, but it was only in the beginning and once they had the facilities in the curragh thry stopped

                  Over the years there have been loads of lateral transfers. Back in 1989 there was an article from an officer who spent a year with the french army in an cosantoir, which played a role in my decision to quit the pdf.

                    Paul G I'm ex-BA, and a few times I was asked if I knew the Irish guy who bailed on the Irish Army to stick with the BA.

                    Keen to know why you quit the PDF over a lad going to France for a year!

                              Lots of big countries send people to Sandhurst

                              We have the C&S School who run the Sen C&S Cse (for promotion to Lt Col) but we still sent people to do the equivalent courses in the UK, US and I think France and Germany

                              The Irishman who was sent to Sandhurst by the DF was pictured in An Cosantoir at the time
