Vhris your right of course I was refering to 1968 just before the troubles kicked off..resident battalion was indeed the middlesex rgt as I once had to take a sus to there guardroom which was quite full of worky tickets...I think the Kings where at that time at Ballykinler! RE's where at the bridging camp at Antrim whilst the lancers where at Omagh..and the reme at Kinnegar...however myy memry might be playing tricks after all those years...cheers malcolm
