A company called Point of View Productions are doing 3 one hour documentaries on our role in NI and based on my two books to date. Around 30 + NI Vets are taking part. The series will be pro-squaddies; they will tell OUR story and they are good people. I will stake my reputation on this fact. If you are prepared to take part, anonymous or otherwise, please message me ASAP; either through the site or to ken_wharton@hotmail.com
Warmest best wishes from Australia. It is beautiful here just one downside, I live close to Spanner.

RSF spokesman Richard Walsh would not condemn the killings
The party generally believed to be the political wing of the Continuity IRA has held its first news conference since the recent killings in N Ireland.
Republican Sinn Féin refused to condemn the attacks describing them as regrettable but inevitable "acts of war".
Two soldiers and a policeman were shot dead by dissident republicans earlier this month.
The news conference was called to complain about police raids.
The party's publicity director, Richard Walsh. also used the press conference in Belfast to complain about the detention of suspects at Antrim police station.

Real IRA group in 'conflict' warning
By Mark Devenport
BBC Northern Ireland political editor
The Real IRA's political wing has warned its "conflict" will not end unless Britain renounces its claim to sovereignty over Northern Ireland.
The 32-County Sovereignty Movement issued the statement after the Real IRA murdered two soldiers at Massereene barracks in Antrim last Saturday.
On Tuesday, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness stood side by side with Peter Robinson and Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde at a joint news conference.

'No Afghan move' for UK troops
British and American troops are working alongside Iraqi forces
The head of the UK armed forces says British troops serving in Iraq should not be redeployed to Afghanistan.
The Chief of the Defence Staff, Air Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, told the BBC there would be a significant reduction in UK personnel in Iraq by next year.
But he warned against US President-elect Barack Obama's idea of sending more troops to Afghanistan, similar to the "surge" in Iraq in 2007.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the UK did not want an "unfair burden".
