700 GLENGARRIED MEN

[nightwing1409]

Great stuff !!!!!!!! The Empire was founded by men such as these, God bless them. I can recommend the book "Having Been a Soldier", which I read many years ago.

[simnebrael]

Having Been a Soldier by "Mad Mitch" - a must read book!!! God Bless Col Mitchell and all his Jocks!!

[Jigaboo123456]

Gaun the Argylls! A rerr song tae!

Great battalion with a great colonel.

I was pencilled in to join1 Para in '67 on attachment from my own Para btn, but Wilson accelerated the withdrawal. Some of our lads did a  punitive patrol up the Radfan in reponse to two SAS lads getting mutilated -which never made the papers.

. Aden is now a complete shitehole full of religious nutters. It was moving forward when it was a Protectorate, but Nasser and the nutters de-stabilised it..

You must learn to live in peace, or learn to die! Awesome song, cheers for the upload.

[DIHYDROXYGEN]

Absolutely Brilliant where did you get this song?

[pteJames]

Here's to the heath, the hill and the heather, the bonnet, the plaid, the kilt and the feather!

[TomBarry192I]

What where these Scottish traitors doing invading other peoples countries while their own country is unfree?

[MrMickroach]

@TomBarry192I And why is a yellow and spineless little maggot like you commenting on something that is none of your business tombarry?

[MrMickroach]

@argyll1854 Nonsense in giving a supporter of the IRA some ticht?? So you think the IRA are OK do you?

[argyll1854]

@MrMickroach

No idea what you are slevering about

[MrMickroach]

@argyll1854 I am giving the bent and yellow scum called tombarru some ticht, and you seem to defend him!

[argyll1854]

@MrMickroach

Sorry if that's the way it looked but i will certainly never defend his nonsense posts

[MrMickroach]

@argyll1854 I often wonder how thinsg would have turned out in Northern Ireland had Lt Col Colin Mitchell been allowed to use his unique leadership and soldiering against the PIRA.

[argyll1854]

@MrMickroach

That's a good question that, interesting

[alimac42]

@MrMickroach he would have wiped the scum out

[WeeCowieson]

[990drifter]

Very nice reminder for those in the pictures. Some of these guys could have been in Lenadoon circa early 70's before we had to move out. I remember how they used to feed at the front of my house junction Lenadoon Ave and Horn Drive from 4 tonners. We got so used to having them we almost adopted a young lad who's position was at my house, we always made sure he had a drop of tea, I wonder where he is now?

[joedredd13215]
