  • Lt Col ID Corden-Lloyd OBE MC

    17th of February 1978. Thirty nine years ago the CO perished in a helicopter incident in South Armagh. Now gone for as long as he had lived.

    As the sun goes down we will remember them.

    I've talked to many RGJ veterans over the years, and the vast majority had nothing but praise and admiration for their old CO. A sad loss for not only the Regiment but for the British Army as a whole.
    Rest easy Sir.
    You cannot fight a war with one hand tied behind your back.

          Be who you are and say what you feel...
          Because those that matter, don't mind.
          And those that mind, don't matter!

              Gone - Not Forgotten

              40 years now since this tragic incident. I remember very well the news coming in to the orderly room. A shock to us all and a great loss to the battalion and the army in general.

                            I recall the cover of 'Visor' just a few weeks before this. PIRA had parked a flatbed lorry in the houses just behind Forkhill. Can't recall how many if any had functioned but the Colonel did a 'piece to camera' with a BBC crew. After this the press began to move off when, as two RUC officers began to check the lorry cab, a booby-trap went off under the driver's seat. As a Belfast Telegraph photographer snapped like mad, the CO ran back, got one of the officers out of the cab, found a pulse, and then helped get the wounded man onto a door, on which he was moved to a waiting Puma and casevaced. He and his colleague survived their injuries, thanks to the fast response from the CO. Swift And Bold.
