to the thousands of CMP/RMP Probationers and Trainees who have passed through the various training centres of Frogmore Hall, Burniston, Gatton Park, Aycliffe, Mychett, Inkerman, demolished in 1973 after a training exercise. It is now the 'Goldsworth Park' housing estate and 'Sir Winston Churchill School', and then Roussillon, which became the training depot for the RMP from April 1964. Roussillon was closed in September 2005. It is earmarked for redevelopment.

COMMENT on book 2 dated 10.04.2006 by Kevin Morson regarding the picture of Dave Ross's funeral. "..the funeral took place in Edinburgh. Front left is Paul Halling. Front right is Steve Carey, then Gordon Bell, Kevin Morson and Phil Grecki. I was part of the Londonderry detachment when Dave was murdered. Apart from those already mentioned, the other detachment members were the OC Mike Copeland, Terry Burrough, Mark Brown and Julian Lee. Mark Brown was following behind Dave in another vehicle when the device exploded. I had undergone my SIB training with Dave and we were selected on the same SIB Board in 1981. He was a great lad with a lovely family".
NOTE:The Ulster Watchdogs-Part 3, from 1984 until the end of Op 'Banner' in NI on 30.07.2007, is presently being drafted by Maj.Martyn Bird.

Australian and British Police Badges Album.(Under Construction)
History of the RAF Police by Stephen Davies.
British Corps/Div/Brig.Flashes-Signs Album.(Under Construction)NOTE:Some of these flashes were worn in WW2 and since. The designs of all the formation signs of BAOR derive from that of the 21st Army Group which became BAOR in 1945. 1 Corps was reformed in Germany in 1952 using its wartime spearhead with each branch of service showing the spearhead on a background divided in arm of service colours. The First Infantry Division used the white triangle which symbolically stands for the top of the spearhead of 1 Corps. This formation sign used to be on a black or kharki background or on its own. Variations were a narrow red edging (infantry), yellow edging (Armoured). Artillery and signals wear the white triangle on a diamonmd shaped background of arm of service colours. The 17th (BR) Division was formed out of the 17th Indian Div.which had a black cat on a kharki background. This was changed in 1947 to a yellow background and became the 17th (BR) Div. in Malaya. In 1965 it became the Malaya District. The 40th (BR) Division was formed in 1949 and took part in the Korean War. Its flash was a cockerel on a black square or rectangle. The First Commonwealth Div. also fought in Korea and was raised in Korea from British & Commonwealth troops in 1951. There are in existence a few slightly different variations of its flashes.

The other mess is the big white roof you see to the left of our shop. The next building down directly from the shop (right side) is the former cinema and is now another shop owned by my boss".

Do you want to save the BFPO System?
CLICK HERE TO SIGN PETITION
Please click on and sign the above petition. Although we all understand that defence cuts are to be made, this is an area which affects the families in particular. The BFPO system is the mechanism whereby post is received by our serving defence personnel and their families abroad at a postal address recognised as being part of this country, no matter where in the world they are serving, even in war zones. Amongst other things the loss of the BFPO service will disenfranchise them if they are postal voters; some credit card providers will not send cards abroad (M&S for example), whereas they will to a BFPO address; it may affect their ability to let their house whilst posted abroad, or away from home; it may take away their tax advantages such as being able to have an ISA whilst posted abroad. It will affect Open University students who have a BFPO address as they will be charged higher fees; it will potentially effect children of serving soldiers when they go to University, as they may not be eligible for student loans/fees to be paid, and will be charged higher fees as they live abroad. They will also be charged different rates for subscriptions etc., as they will now have to come via local mail, and not the UK mail. Thanks for supporting our servicemen and women together with their families in this matter. NOTE: Petition closes 09.06.2010.
