- (28 Jan 1977) RR7704B UK ULSTER PATROLLING CROSSMAGLEN
The British government maintains 14,000 troops in
Northern Ireland to keep the peace between Protestants
and Catholics, loyalists to the United Kingdom and those
who want to sever Ulster's constitutional links with
mainland Britain. The job of the soldiers is a
dangerous one - already this year three have died
and in 1972 some 130 were killed by terrorists'
bombs, booby-traps and gunmen. This item looks at
the work of the Royal Highland Fusiliers detachment
at Crossmaglen, the front line.

How long was you in the IRA ❓

For you it’s a Tour to the native it’s just ordinary life so who knows more, and who knows who belongs.☘️
@@_Coacain_Zippy If you ask a native that question they will not reply it’s seen as rude or dangerous but as a native I’d say how long is a piece of string ☘️
The use of the word 'fort' instead of base or camp kinda sums it up...
You're right Alastair
Did ya ever hear the likes of it... Yer man saying that a Scottish regiment was protecting the locals in Crossmaglen. I laughed so hard that my colostomy bag over flowed.
lol i know..... i guess thats why they call it propaganda..
sad thing is it works the population on the mainland uk swallow this stuff hook line and sinker even the soldiers themselves start to think it after awhile
Kekistani nationalist well they did with the help of the ruc, and the security forces, but not any more, they would obviously love to but without the back up of the state they wouldn't have it in them
Kekistani nationalist hahaha they won, wake up, the people they butchered and held a privileged position over are now issuing your giro's lol, this was never about a united ireland just equality lololoo
Kekistani nationalist never was, even if you listen to them now it's a new ireland, equality, that's all they ever wanted, and they achieved that, have a nice day lad
Kekistani nationalist that's how this all started, South Africa wouldn't have got a look in, now they are in government and the tide has turned
Crossmaglen is a relatively quiet village since the British left in 2007.
It wasn't even supposed to be in Northern Ireland, it was not included in the first 2 original partition maps drawn up I don't think.
A slip of a British pen on a map caused all this. How Crossmaglen ended up in Northern Ireland I'll never know.
There was an annoying fold in their map.
It’s part of county Armagh so that is why
You can have the place back. We certainly don’t want it! Crap hole.
It’s now a crap hole for washed up provo’s to sell their laundered diesel
It was part of county armagh. and the whole or county armagh was included in northern Ireland. similar things happened all along the border.

I remember when this happened. I lived up the road from these Barracks when this happened I remember it well the windows in the house shook. That happened a few times when I lived there. What gets me is your man saying how can you just murder men like this talking about the soldiers But they have been doing it to the Irish for decades. I don’t think any man woman or child should be murdered but it’s no big deal to them when a catholic gets brutally murdered but when it’s one of there own all of a sudden it’s barbaric. It ain’t no fun when the rabbits got the gun. I lost good friends in school from this war young innocent children. I pray for a United Ireland one day and for all the souls that lost there life in this war on the Irish. 🇮🇪
Thank you for your service lads n lasses, rest in peace to all the fallen soldiers,

Most have been fricking annoying having foreigners stop you in your own country demanding to know your ID, where you've come from, where you're going to, etc. and if you don't answer you'll be kept there for hours by a bunch of thugs.
It must of also been hard for loyal Ulsters having Marxist revolutionary's hopping over the border from the Republic to blow them up and intimidate them with regular violence. Hey ho.
Read a book by a senior British army commander - think it was Carver - which said most IRA attacks (90% plus) started in NI - this hopping over the border thing was largely a myth. Anyway, it wasn't a border that most people in Ireland ever wanted anyway.
That's what terrorist do when they invaded a country. Look what American and England did to the people of Afghanistan.
My brother patrolled this area with 3RGJ 1977 AND 1978 , HEAD WRECKED NOW 😥
He could of had a normal life, yet proceded with oppressing a population in a land he should never have been in. He made his own bed.
I hope he suffers some horrible nightmares the rotten cunt it's most likey his own guilt eating him from the inside out

I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your visit to Ireland. If you had stayed in your own country perhaps you could have relaxed?
Of the 6 counties in NI, only 4 originally had Protestant majorities. Now it’s only 2, and of those, South Down is RC majority. The bulk of Protestants are in Antrim & North Down.
A plebiscite would be interesting.
As long as its down to reason and arguement.....not bombs and bullets. I'm not sure it is as simple as the Catholic/ Protestant split you see it as.
And a third of RCs would vote to remain in the U.K. Polling consistently shows this.

This story was published in 1977.
XMG was described by an American journalist as being "as mean as cat shit" I think he was being over-generous.
Never knew it was a demolition site, it used to be the RUC station!! With funny enough a lawn where they used to play croquet before the army turned up.!! I lived there from 1958 to 1987. My whole teenage years was destroyed by the "troubles" and in Crossmaglen the army!! Grow up people this is a film designed to change history, the army should never have been in Cross and at my age I am still living with the consequences!!!
😂
I always loved it when the news was read by Lord Ponsonby-Smythe.
Sweeping up mud - only in the Army.
British Empire never understands ireland,
True ✌️🇨🇮
Thank God those bad old days are over.
May Ireland be unified peacefully and no other lives be lost to achieve it.
it might be more peaceful but it will never unify . the people dont want it .
Unionists only have a majority left in 2 counties of Ireland's 32. I'm afraid 'the people' will just have to relocate to Britain if they can't live in a unified Ireland. Their choice.
Yes, Antrim and north Down are unionist heartlands. They might remain as some kind of Gibraltar. But the rest of Ulster will be ruled from Dublin.
It's a question of democracy and ultimately democracy will decide. Saying it won't happen because you don't like it won't change the reality if a border poll votes for unification.
...and only 39% identified themselves as British!

rapier1954 Farrell but they are our property and therefore it is our business . its always a bad idea to rage against someone who owns you . it never turns out well .
David Harrison It became your property after you took it by force from the Irish. So it is your property - your stolen property. We'll see how much longer it lasts. Given the demographics there will be a Nationalist majority in less than 15 years - BBC just said less than 2 weeks ago it could be as early as 2023. Then it may or may not be your property after that depending on how things go. If Brexit goes sour people will be itching to leave. At any rate, there will be changes.

400 yards sounds like a long way for accurate automatic fire hitting individuals.any soldiers here have experience of a scenario like this?
My unit experienced an ambush in 2007 in the town of saqlawiyah Iraq. We took about 5 WIA I think. The after action had a PKC machine gun emplacement about 400 meters from our patrol. We had no idea where it was coming from when it went down though.
@@FormerVicePresidentDickVeiny bloody hell.you are made of some steel to get through that.tgxnks for the reply and cap off to you
Possible, as in the other reply that mentions the PK, which as it's bipod mounted would give you a stable firing platform. Fully automatic fire from a hand held rifle/carbine less accurate at such a range imo, more suppressive fire or "spray and pray."
Probably wasn't automatic fire that did the damage. I'm guessing it was old one shot paddy, followed by bursts of fire.
Protecting the locals ??? WTF ??? 😂
It's the definition of propaganda. Disgrace
The original idea behind the deployment of the British Army was indeed to protect the locals and initially this was appreciated by both sides, Catholic’s included. Everything went south after 1972 and the Army was then seen as the enemy just like the RUC. As far as the Army was concerned, the official mission statement never changed especially in official communication. The reality of course was a bit different.
@@paulnelson6277 you cannot be serious
@@MarkIRE1 perfectly serious. If it wasn't for the Army, there would have been a lot more deaths.

If the government had have allowed the army to actually fight back this war would have ended a lot faster.
They did they just made more enemies. It was completely unnecessary conflict. The only thing they had to do was keep the peace. The nationalists treated them well and welcomed them. It’s when they started helping loyalist mobs burn down nationalist homes, the welcome mat was taken away. Besides if Bloody Sunday was a recruitment tool for the provos can you imagine wide spread killing of Irish civies on a huge scale would have had the Irish people on mass enlisting either in the provos or the Irish army, all intelligence from the republic would have been stopped and it’s very likely the public outcry would have resulted into an even more brutal ground war and made things thousands of times worse than they were.
Wow your funny 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ciaranbrk it was certainly a wake up call to the British government!
Such as the indiscriminate murdering of people like the Black and Tans did in the early 1920's ? That did nothing either to endure British victory or enhance the reputation of Britain. Get a satellite photo . Separate countries. Any dimwit can deduce that.

Peace ✌️🕊️ for all mankind but if you fuck with my farthers family it's on Saxon 😭
Ya see if I'm not mistaken, this same regiment probably these same borstal boys helping to hold down the victims , were involved in what became known, the pitchfork murders of two guys , Michael Naan and Andrew Murray.
Sgt Stan Hathaway, Cpl Forrester Sgt Chestnut, Cpt Snowball,etc ,etc it went right up the ranks.
Person's unknown were of course said to have been responsible, with heavy inference on loyalists. Only when one of the regiment listened to the Wearside Jack , bogus Yorkshire ripper tape , he was convinced it sounded like Hathaway, undeniably a Psychopath ,who he'd been on tour with , he went to the cops in Glasgow , probably looking a reward and was physically thrown out of two separate stations.
Only for a Savvy journalist at a Glasgow newspaper it would , like so many hundreds of others, have ended at that.
It seems at the beginning of the tour the entire platoon were shown Naans photo and details and that he was to be treated, appropriately, having earlier been involved in the civil rights movement.
It went higher than Snowball of course but he was offered a non custodial, with pension in tact no doubt. If you look closely at these individuals you can tell the half of them are unhinged.
The guy in thumbnail looks half asleep 😂
What about all the Irish soldiers stationed in Britain??? All of the instability and deaths they've Caused. Why does that not ever get covered?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Love the use of the word 'terrorist' . An occupying force whom are unwanted and undoubtedly sectarian, invade and then decide to call any form of resistance,may it be physical or political, 'terrorists'

@@shanef8728 Bit like the IRA then with all their propaganda bullshit
The IRA were so squeaky clean weren't they,they never ever terrorised/ killed their own people did they
A terrorist literally means someone who uses violence (typically against civilians) to achieve a political goal via intimidation. In all three of those areas the PIRA checks out as a terrorist group, not to mention the number of civilians they killed was several times higher than the British army, even with collusion estimates

The British army at its best. Doing a thankless job surrounded by an invisible enemy who never dared to confront them one on one.
Miles Coleman - first of all the ira weren't a people's army, they were terrorists which most catholic men did not join with and secondly, the IRA surrendered their weapons and Northern Ireland remains British territory and now the republican cause is dead with only 20% of residents in Northern Ireland supporting a United Ireland even the majority of catholics want to remain British, LOL we well and truly smashed the IRA, god save the Queen!
If you want to know what happened when the IRA actually fought their opponents head on, look no further than the story of Corporal Eric Glass - one part time middle aged UDR soldier armed only with a pistol beat back four Provos with automatic assault rifles, killing one, whilst heavily injured from their gunfire.
it was never the objective of the British to defeat the IRA though, they only meant to suppress their violence to an acceptable level and allow a political solution to emerge. Mission accomplished. The IRA spoke of having forced a stalemate in their propaganda but they had taken their armed campaign as far as they could and they knew it.
By the mid-1990s the Provisional IRA was having every good operation in Belfast compromised by informers and the UVF's war of attrition against them in rural Ulster was grinding them down further. No wonder they sued for peace. It's 2017 and Northern Ireland remains British. More than a few blades of grass I'd say...

The terrorists laid so many IEDs the Army stopped sending any vehicles near the area in the late 70s or early 80s. Then we did the first vehicle partial round the town in 90 I think it was. The locals couldn't believe what they were seeing. They just stood open mouthed.

Most right minded people on the island of Ireland would much prefer to talk of peace and reconciliation instead of reading sectarian bullshit. I’d like to think that we can all agree with the fact that there were wrongs and atrocities inflicted and carried out by both sides of the divide. How can our children and future generations truly live in peace if we continue to live in the past? History (the good and the bad) should never be rewritten/altered or forgotten and it should be taught in our school’s curriculum without bias or sectarianism.
