handler 69 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Where is the best place on line to find pics of the regular and TA on exercise, BAOR or otherwise during the 1980's? Can anyone suggest a good book maybe? Cheers Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Have a look at Soldier magazine, its archives are online here http://www.soldiermagazine.co.uk/archives/index.htm Its a good snap shot through the years, the ediotrial staff were always at pains to get out with TA units when big exercises were on, to promote the "one army" concept.

AlienFTM Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 http://m136.de/ More pictures than you could hope for in a lifetime. Whenever I get a chance I look for a picture of me or somebody I knew but I have only scratched the surface. I do remember being asked by my CO if I'd let a French newspaper crew photograph myself and my Rebro Ferret on Spearpoint 80. Being a mere Lance Corporal, it was quite an honour to be asked by the CO rather than told. Never did find a copy of that pic. Don't even know what newspaper it was.

Bob Grundy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Crusader 80 5/8 Kings Regiment, we spent nearly all the time in Noddy suits and blokes sleeping, which is quite normal on exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
