Here is the Sgts Mess photo
for 1969 St Patricks day. Although I never reached such giddy heights I did manage to take some photographs
which may be of interest. One of George Irvine, (right)
then Drill Sgt.
I worked with him and George Houston (late
Major deceased), Sgt 'Spud' Murphy and ORQMS Jimmy Williams, in the
Orderly Room and later with O B O'Brien as RQMS Clerk.
This
in 1957 - 1960.
(On the left) Me in the middle with the
late Bob Nugent on the left.
I
forget the 'para's' name but hopefully he might see this and
get in touch

continues: "I
have several photos of that day in 1969 which I
took myself. (Bit of a story here.)
I was in the crowd watching the parade when
all the TV and Press boys turned up and went on to the square to record the event,
so I slung my Minolta camera over my shoulder, joined them, and simply said 'PRESS' when
questioned, and got these
pictures of a lifetime".
