    Army Secretariat Army Headquarters IDL 24 Blenheim Building Marlborough Lines Andover Hampshire, SP11 8HJ United Kingdom Ref: FOI2017/10087/13/04/79464 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.army.mod.uk XXX XXXXXXXXXXX 5 December 2017 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear XXXXXX, Thank you for your email of 14 October in which you clarified your request of 6 October to the following : ‘In particular please clarify what you mean by ‘people from Scotland’. Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist. Finally please confirm that you require the information for both parts of your request by Financial Years 2014, 2015 & 2016. Yes please, If the information exists for each year then I would be grateful for this. If this is significantly time consuming then 2016 would be sufficient.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

    COUNCIL – 4TH SEPTEMBER 2006 Report of the Chief Executive 5.1 FREEDOM OF ENTRY – ROYAL ANGLIAN REGIMENT Purpose of Report To recognise the service and achievements by the Royal Anglian Regiment and its close links with the Borough of Charnwood by granting them Freedom of entry to the Borough of Charnwood. Recommendation That Freedom of Entry to the Borough of Charnwood be granted upon the Royal Anglian Regiment. Background to Freedom of Entry The practice of granting the 'Freedom of Entry' upon military units has its roots deep in the history of local government; it is an interesting example of the power and influence of old boroughs in the past. During the Middle Ages, formed bodies of troops were not allowed to march through a borough without seeking the permission of the Council. As most boroughs were surrounded by a fortified wall the city fathers were in a position to refuse access if, for some reason, they were suspicious of the Military Commander's intentions. The Freedom of entry would normally be granted to locally based troops once mutual confidence and friendship had been established and when the citizens were satisfied that the troops would protect their interests. Permission to enter confers upon individual Regiments the right "to march through the city with due ceremonial, drums beating, bands playing and banner flying', in recognition of the confidence, trust and friendship existing between the citizens and soldiers. Such permission is accompanied by a sealed and illuminated certificate, which is presented at a formal parade where the Mayor inspects the assembled troops and then invites all involved to a reception.

CAMERON MOFFAT, F.R.C.S., L/R.A.M.C. Royal Army Medical College, Millbank SUMMARY: This paper presents a broad view of the casualties occurring in British serviCemen in Northern Ireland over a 4 year period 1 January 1971 to 31 December 1974. It is intended to serve as a backcloth against which more detailed reviews may be presented in the future but incidentally demonstrates the commendable efficiency of· the Medical Services in Ulster, both Civil and Military. The present troubles in Northern Ireland began in the autumn of 1969 with a series of large and alarming civil riots and the rumblings of organised terrorist activity. The small permanent troop garrisons stationed in the Province were augmented steadily in pace with the need to contain the mounting incidence of violence throughout the re­ by guest.

There were many injuries to British soldiers during these years but they were largely occasioned by bricks and stones or bottles hurled by rioting mobs and there were few really serious injuries. Indeed until the end of December 1970 there were only 110 soldiers who required admission to hospital for an injury sustained on internal security duties and there were no deaths at all from that cause. The shooting and bombing campaign began in earnest in 1971. Only then did serious injury and death start to occur.

Cameron was born on 8 September 1929, the son of William Weir Moffat and Margaret Garrett. He grew up in Riddrie, Glasgow, and Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. Educated at King’s Park School, he went to the University of Glasgow in 1947 and the Glasgow Western Infirmary for his medical training, qualifying with a Distinction in Surgery despite having so proved his worth with a Blue as stroke that he was invited to row for Scotland in the 1952 Commonwealth games (but this was vetoed by his father). After house appointments that year, he became ship’s surgeon on the Anchor Line’s RMS Circassia to India, an experience which he claimed cured him of sea sickness for life but gave him a taste for curry. In 1953 he married Audrey Acquroff Watson (d.o.b. 11.8.28). They met at a school play then a university dance. She was proud to be descended from John Acquroff, an emigré Russian hairdresser from St Petersburg who came to Scotland in 1829; after leaving school she herself !also briefly worked as a hairdresser, and was a county standard hockey player. Called up for National Service at Fort George, Inverness, Cameron served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps as Regimental Medical Officer to the Seaforth Highlanders. On promotion to Captain he converted to a Short Service Commission and his final posting in 1956 was to Edinburgh as Senior Medical Officer, Edinburgh district, in the rank of Major.
