I get regular emails from a guy called Ken Wharton who has collected soldiers stories of Northern Ireland. He's produced 3 great books and is asking for help again. "I have today started on my fourth NI book and its provisional title is '1972; One Year of Insanity in Ulster's Madness' It will be again - I couldn't write anything else - an oral history from the squaddie's perspective. As before, I need your personal - even second hand - accounts from that year. NIVA as an organisation and you as individuals have been my biggest supporters and mainstay and anyone who has a story to tell can e-mail me. As always, your help will be crucial. I have 6 months to complete this book, so, if you served in 1972 or know of any comrades who did, please ask them to contact me." Ken 'A Long Long War: Voices from the British Army in Northern Ireland 1969-98 (Hardcover)' 'Bullets, Bombs and Cups of Tea: Further Voices of the British Army in Northern Ireland 1969-98 (Hardcover)' http://www.helion.co.uk/product.asp?P_ID=16675Let me know if you want is email address To me Ireland is our forgotton war so let's make sure future generations know about it Jimmyc

Hi, A&S veterans. I´m a spanish enthusiast of the militar history. For any historical works i need to identify the officer showed in this picture: http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/1189/apodo.jpgHe is a IIWW soldier, an the cap bagde look like the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, but it isn´t sure. ¿Can you said me his name? His nickname is important too. And if you know where take place the action, is perfect. If he isn´t an A&S Highlander ¿can you identify his unity? ¡Thank you very much, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders ! E. Mato, Spain.
