We will Remember Them,
I cannot believe it is 50 years today that in 1972 my Section Commander and more than that my friend Mick Boddy was killed in action.
It seems like it was yesterday, and I will always remember it and I will never forget Mick.
Mick was shot by a sniper whilst on foot patrol in Selby Street, off Grosvenor Road, Lower Falls, Belfast. Mick was one of four men the battalion lost on that tour.
R.I.P Mick (aka Shag)
Gone but not Forgotten.
Once a Poacher always a Poacher.
Lest we Forget.
