My father served for a total of 25 years with the 'colours', most of which was with the 'Skins'. His last years, however, were as the very proud RMS of the North Irish Horse. This is a fact that I and my family have always been most proud. I was brought up in Belfast along with my elder brother and younger sister,who was born there. And have always had the happiest memories and associations with my parents friends both from within the regiments and beyond. Long may such bonds endure in peace and friendship. And long may we respect such heros as made this possible.

My Father, L/Cpl A.Russell 7904927 joined the 'HORSE', as he called it,  in Portrush and for a time was billeted in his own house.  He served in B Squ. in England, North Africa and Italy being demobed in 1945.

He lost many good friends and talked very often about the Rergiment until he passed away several years ago.

Thanks for all your fantastic info Gerry. I'm looking for any information on my husbands uncle John (Jack) Galloway Service No- 7902610. Thanks for the picture of his grave stone but I'd like to know more ie which company he was in. How do I find this? Anyone who may have known him, I'd love to contact.
