RHR veterans produced a tome / bios on every soldier who served on certain tours in the 1970s. Some of it is a little dry / I didn’t quite figure out how to use it, but you might!

Wow, thank you Mark. There is so much more to do - and I am delighted you are doing it!

Have you drawn upon the Hampshire Regiment’s enormous archive on Banner in the National Army Museum? might be worth a 👀 if not.

I am unsure of the circumstances but I am certainly grateful that the UK and other European navies are tracking and deterring hostile Russian activity in Ireland‘s marine territory. If we can’t do it, other European democracies with more capabilities should (as long as this is coordinated with IE).

Super-interesting piece - thank you.
This passage reminds me of chats I’ve had with people who (like me) favour reunification but avoid thinking about the consequences.
Their answers to “how will we protect 🇬🇧 identity in a UI?” are:
1. We won’t: it will die off
2. Why should we? It’s false/evil
