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.

Cps. 1976122, 135-142 A DERMATOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE GURKHA BRIGADE Lieutenant-Colonel A. G. JARRAMS M.B., Ch.B., M.R.C.G.P., D.T.M.&H., D.D.M., R.A.M.C. British Military Hospital, Rinteln SUMMARY: A survey was carried out on 4,500 serving officers and soldiers of the Brigade of Gurkhas in Singapore, Malaya and Hong Kong in 1971 and 1972. The results showed a prevalence of 11.3 cases of leprosy per thousand in this highly selected group. It. is suggested that some prevous estimates of the prevalence of leprosy in the general population of the Himalayan foothills underestimated the problem. Introduction The Ridley Jopling classification of leprosy (Ridley and Jopling 1966) is generally accepted as an immunological basis in clinical leprosy.

Summary of the Ridley Jopling classification of leprosy http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ The prevalence of leprosy in the northern regions of the Indian sub-continent has been variously estimated from 1.15 to 39.3 per thousand (Hajini and Shah 1974, Nepal Health Survey 1966, Mali 1971, Berkeley and Berkeley 1969). The difficulties of estimating the prevalence of leprosy are considerable, particularly in view of the persistence of superstitions and taboos, not only among sufferers but also officials in countries where the disease is endemic or hyperendemic.

  • The Sovereign's Birthday Parade
    THE SOVEREIGNS’ BIRTHDAY PARADES - SNAPSHOTS OVER TWO CENTURIES By Colin Dean, former Band Secretary, Irish Guards The origins of the parade popularly known as Trooping the Colour are believed to date from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Guard Mounting took place daily on Horse Guards Parade prior to the King’s (or Queen’s) Guard for the day marching to St. James’s Palace (later Buckingham Palace) to take over the duties. The custom developed of augmenting this parade on the Sovereign’s birthday by including the flank companies from the three regiments of the Brigade of Guards, as well as the Household Cavalry who took part prior to riding under the arch to become the King’s (or Queen’s) Life Guard. King George III 1809: A report in the Morning Post of the 19th January 1809 makes what appears to be the first documented reference to the three Foot Guards bands being together on Horse Guards Parade: ‘Yesterday morning the Duke of Gloucester attended with the Dukes of York and Cambridge, on the Parade in St. James’s Park, to inspect the battalion of Grenadiers*, previous to their mounting guard. At the same time a very novel and grand military spectacle was exhibited, as we believe, never was displayed before; the whole of the numerous Bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attended, with new state uniforms on. The first and second Bands wore new jockey velvet caps; the three Bands marched as far as the entrance to the Stable-yard; the first and third Bands went on with the King’s Guard, and the second proceeded to the Queen’s Guard, near the Queen’s Palace’.
