      Here is the cover of the other book in question 'irishbatt' . this and 'seige at jadotville' are esential reading for anybody intrested in irish involvement with the UN over the last 40 years or so , i hope the pic opens ok as 2 other previous attempts failed and as we all know ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,failure is not an option .

        Nice link here that shows the Irish have been involved in a lot of fights around the world not neccessarily under the tricolour.
        Especially like the South African Irish Regiment.

          And just look what the Bastards did to our guitar!!!!!!!!!!
          Who would have figured the DFF were music lovers


          On a more serious note

          when a flechett round and 2 solid shot hit the post.
          A flechette round is one fo the most lethal and deadly rounds fired in an AP role

          Flicky how many of our Irish papers carried that story of the deliberate attempt by the DFF to kill many irish troops, I bet you not one

          Yet an ex soldier or a soldier does something wrong and every paper goes out of the way to cover it

          For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
          But it's "Saviour of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot;
          An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
          But Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!
          Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
          Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
          The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
          The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
          The best lack all conviction, while the worst
          Are full of passionate intensity.

                  No one covered it, not a f*&%ing one. The IDF said the following day that they dident know they were shooting at us because it was dark!!!!! We had that position for christ knows how many years. The tank in question had to leave the compound at Saf al Hawah, and drive half way to At tiri, with his night vision, Thermal imager etc, then set his main gun towards our position and fire THREE times. But he dident know it was our position????
                  Thank f**k the NCO IC the post was bigger than me, and able to take the 84. The bastards had already killed my section commander 4 weeks before that.

                      As far as I can recall, the DFF nicked the lads off the OP to barter their lives for passage through At Tiri. Two of them are still serving in the south. Must ask them sometime.
