I was over there at the time. On r&r. In those days, you were not allowed home. We got 2 days and they were spent in an hotel in Bangor. The first we knew of it was when the police turned up at the hotel and told us we were confined and any on the town were escorted back. Two policemen were posted at the front entrance but being unarmed back then, not too sure what use they would have been. Two pigs picked us up the next morning and took us back to our base in Belfast.
Rest easy lads.
