Save the Regiments
London Rally |
| Message: |
The London Rally to
Save our Regiments. Please join us to protest against an
ungrateful and duplicitous Labour Government. Their proposed
plans to disband and merge our proud Regiments must be opposed.
This is the most important gathering since their announcement of
these destructive plans for the army and the last chance you will
have to demonstrate your opposition to the disgraceful treatment
of our serving soldiers and ex servicemen. Years of military
history and culture are being rode roughshod over. It is vital
that a huge presence is made on this historic day. March with us
on Saturday, the 9th April 2005 and send a message to Downing
Street and your own Regiment Colonel to keep their HANDS OFF YOUR
REGIMENT!!!!
Assembly Point is at Speakers Corner from 1pm, ready for March off
from Hyde Park at 2pm, into Park Lane, along Picadilly/Picadilly
Circus, down Haymarket and arriving in Trafalgar Square at approx
3pm for the rally and speakers. For full details visit our London
Rally website below, which is constantly updated for your
information.
This will be your last chance to publicly protest before a General
Election. Please come along and support us. Spread the word, bring
along family and friends and help us to have the biggest presence
we could possibly hope to achieve, to show our contempt at the
treatment this Labour Government delivers and demonstrate that we
will not accept their destructive treatment of the army as a
whole. For further information please e-mail me or call our
hotline on 01980 594949. |

Hi, I am restoring a
swb Landrover which was used by the REME attached to 2 Para. The
vehicle was in service from `57 to `63 and its reg was 88BR17. I
believe they only had one 1/4 ton 4X4 on the inventory, so this
must be it. I am looking for any information about the vehicle,
including what was carried in it, where it might have been used
etc etc. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated. |
