I remember well Active Edge and crashing out of camp in Detmold BAOR never nowing how long we would be out in the field,
Combat kit permanently parked and ready to go to fight the Russians in their
T 80 Tanks BMP's etc
BAOR was recently discussed in parliament as Active Service on a par with Ireland,during the ongoing debate of a National Defence medal being issued.
Do others remember the Air Raid Sirens being tested on Saturday Mornings.
I never got dressed that quickly again!
Sincerely
Stephen
