40 Signal Regiment (V) Tara (Plaid) Brooch

[Pretani]

Looking at the photographs Quicksilver has posted I think they were taken at the old Burniston Barracks in Scarborough, where 40 Sig Regt(V) held a number of their camps.

I believe I recognise a couple of the officers in the pictures and, if this is the case, will see if they can add to this debate.

Dear Pretani

If you do manage to speak to any one, I would be most grateful for some dates.

When did they stop (If they have) being a pipe band for the Regiment. I have purchased a Tara Brooch so I will be putting this on my little web site in the future.

Any info you find I would be most grateful for. If you wish my home email address is ormer@vraic.freeserve.co.uk should you wish to get in touch with me direct.

Many thanks

Chris

John A. Taylor was Pipe Major of the 40th (Ulster) Signal Regiment from 1995 to 1999. He wasprobably their only Pipe Major.
