YOUR CORRESPONDENCE Robbie Thomson sent in the following photograph and said, ‘Very many thanks for your excellent newsletters and I wonder whether some details of this Unit may interest you? The attached photo was taken in York Barracks, Munster, BFPO 17 in 1965 or 1966. In 1968 the Unit was re-deployed to Barnard Castle and then in 1971 returned to Werl/Soest as the re-designated 115 Pro Coy RMP. Since 1980 a bi-monthly newsletter and 22 reunions have taken place keeping quite a number of us in contact. Many of our mates have passed on but many of the families remain in contact and in total 33 Unit members (including 'Jimmy' James, our interpreter) and/or families remain united by our newsletter. The then Capt N C Allen shown in the photo was OC, he subsequently became PM (Army) and I'm pleased to say that he remains in contact with us as a group. Sadly, other OCs who succeeded him have all died - Capt P J Rogers, Capt (subsequently Maj) M H Rose and Capt B Hughes-Jones.‘ Those in the photograph are as follows and where they are known to have passed on and a (D) signifies this. Several unit members were missing from this photo due to leave, courses etc. Ranks shown are as at 1966. Front Row (L to R):Cpl Alex Lambie, Sgt Jimmy Daniel (D), WO2 Brian Gater (D), Capt NC Allen, SSgt Fred Bennett, Sgt Dick Rowe (D), Cpl ‘Chic’ Harding (D). “2nd Row (L to R): LCpl Barry Mountford, LCpl Phil Croft, LCpl Mike Bliss, Cpl Dave Naris, LCpl Glyn Guymer, Cpl Ron Brocklesby, Cpl Terry Regent (D), LCpl Ken Lacey (D), Cpl Joe Taylor. 3RD ROW (L to R): LCpl Graham Phillips, LCpl Bob Rose (D), LCpl John Wilkinson, LCpl John Westland (D), LCpl Allan Edgar, LCpl Bill Dyce, Cpl Barry Arnold, LCpl Alan Barkess, LCpl Keith Hay, Cpl Bob Allen. 4TH ROW (L to R): LCpl Barry Crossley, LCpl Robbie Thomson, LCpl Jack Kane, Cpl Bob Greaves, LCpl Dave Fretwell (D), LCpl Mick Mobbs, LCpl (?)

Robbie added ‘We are always on the lookout for ex-6 Inf Bde Pro Unit veterans, so if you are able to publish this Bob and there are any of our number out there who want to get in contact, could they do this through you firstly please, then to me?’ -ooOoo- Had the Covid restrictions not been in place I hope to think that I would have been in this photographs having a beer with George Wild on the occasion of his 99th birthday on the 7th October. -ooOoo- I received the following from former 24440411 Sergeant Michael Porter, ‘I have reached the ripe old age of 61 and have decided to chronicle my career and life. The Royal Military Police obviously created the best possible start and bedrock of a career that ended as a Detective in the Royal Ulster Constabulary and PSNI. I joined on 11th October 1976 and served initially with 110 Provost Company, BFPO 116. A great time was had, my first point as it were as a newcomer was a ‘Point’ in the middle of nowhere wearing my Blues. I had arrived at Sennelager just as the Queen’s Jubilee started. (I don’t think I saw one person from 4 in the morning until last light). After Sennelager went to 175 and 176 Provost Company then I was the only (I Believe) RMP officer to serve as an Armed Explosive Dog handler in NI. Subsequently served in Cyprus then Colchester when I joined the SIB, finished off in Tidworth (via Belize) under Bob Hope and John Baynon. I got a compassionate posting to Lisburn to facilitate family in 1989 then joined Police’. Michael believes he was in Squad 7615. -ooOoo- Tug Wilson contacted me and said, ‘Dear Bob - just to let you know that I did not receive my usual e- mails from you. I am Graham George Wilson ex RMP 23067698. This e-mail is prompted by a message I received from Stewart Leach (I am a member of Taunton Branch RMPA and former Chairman/secretary). I did national service from September 1954 until discharge October 1956 when I joined Somerset Constabulary. I was initially sent to the Royal Corps of Signals, Catterick but was moved to Inkerman Barracks for RMP training (course squad 463) achieving L/Cpl on 7th February 1955. Then stationed at Bulford as a member of 158 Provost Company. We policed Salisbury City everyday working closely with Wiltshire Police, American Air Force Police and sometimes Naval Patrols, Also policing Tidworth and other areas of Larkhill Garrison. On 29th November 1955 I was promoted to Paid A/Cpl and posted to Granby Barracks, Plymouth as 2/ic to Sgt Heap. We had 5 lance corporals and an ACC cook. We worked closely with Naval Patrols, and Plymouth City Police. When Plymouth detachment was closed I moved to Taunton (Sherford Barracks) as 2/ic of that detachment. We policed Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and various other wider areas including escorts to Aldershot. I noted from the historic notes on 158 that the Plymouth detachment is not mentioned. For information my father Dennis Albert Wilson born 9.10.1910 was a member of CMP No. 7687900 serving in SEAC. He joined in 1940. and held the rank of RSM when discharged after WW 2. Thank you for all you do for keeping us informed etc. Best wishes. Graham Wilson (known to many as Tug)’ Ed: Thanks Tug and I know the newsletters are now getting through to nearly everyone. -ooOoo- Les Kynaston contacted me and said, ‘Hi Bob – greeting from Wales pre lockdown. Please see attached photograph of the members of FIGPU assembled outside their operating base - Port Stanley Police Station. The then OC Maj Evanson and I are seated left and right respectively of the whaling harpoon gun – as you do! RPO Howell RN is seated the other side of the uniformed police sergeant) Note the snow on the ground (in June!) – the Falklands Winter – very parky with an ever present wind/chill factor too. -ooOoo- Graham Taylor commented on an article in the last edition. ‘Dear Bob, reading the last newsletter and tales of dog handlers past brought back some memories of my own. When I was a young Corporal in Osnabruck about 1968’ish, it was decided to introduce police dogs to RMP BAOR. The only slight problem with this was that the Army didn't have any police dogs so we were issued with war dogs that had supposedly been retrained not to bite. At this time I shared a two man room with Brian "Gabby" Hayes and he was the unit dog handler. Another slight problem was that the unit had no dog kennels so this huge German shepherd used to sleep beside Brian's bed. On this particular morning there was an RSM's room inspection but because Brian and I were sleeping off nights we were not involved and there was a note on the outside of the door "Sleeping off nights". Imagine the picture if you will; we three are quietly slumbering when the door flies open and there looms RSM Harry Fisher with pace stick twitching, at the same time this snarling, growling dog races across the room intent on devouring anything that moves, simultaneously Brian sits bolt upright in bed and at the top of his voice yells "LEAVE!!!" The dog stopped within an inch, it may have been closer, of Harry's most valuables. As you would expect of an RSM of his calibre, he said nothing, took one pace back, turned smartly on his heel and disappeared. Brian, I and the dog went back to sleep. It was quite a while before we had any more room inspections. I later went on to be one of the dog handlers in Osnabruck for a while and I could tell quite a few tales. Really look forward to the Newsletter. Keep up the good work.’ CAN YOU HELP? One of my regular contributors is Dan Cowley who received the following photographs from a friend in Malta who had seen them on a Website relating to Royal Naval Divers.

It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

  • Royal Military Police Old Comrades Link up Newsletter #157 July 2020
    ROYAL MILITARY POLICE OLD COMRADES LINK UP NEWSLETTER #157 JULY 2020 YOUR CORRESPONDENCE Continuing from last month here are more Publicity Stories. First up is another one from Cyprus under the heading of, “Hoylake Military Policeman on Duty in Cyprus”. According to Gilbert and Sullivan: “A policeman’s lot is not a happy one”. A policeman who would disagree with that is Staff Sergeant Alastair MacKinnon (33) who is serving with the Royal Military Police at Dhekelia in eastern Cyprus. Alastair would be the first one to admit that service on a Mediterranean island makes his lot a happy one indeed! Alastair’s mother lives at (address withheld) Hoylake, Cheshire. Before he joined the army in 1955 he pounded the beat as a police constable in Edinburgh, he is now a highly trained military policeman with specialist qualifications in special investigation and clerical matters, at present he is NCO in charge of his unit’s charge and reports section. He was promoted to his present rank in November 71. Aaistair chose the army as a career to follow in his father’s footsteps, the late Mr MacKinnon served as a captain with the Royal Military Police. Military police duties in Cyprus include everything from crime detection and prevention to VIP escort duties and ammunition guards - all over a ‘beat’ much bigger than you would find in any town or city. On the advantage side there is the beautiful island with one of the best climates in the world. Alastair’s home is less than a mile away from the blue Mediterranean.
