| Battalion Timeline,
Posting and Deployment record |
| This page
will give a year by year record of the Battalions postings and sub
deployments. In historical terms the Battalion started travelling around
the world on HMT OXFORDSHIRE and ended up riding the clouds in
Chinooks. We will concentrate on the years of the Battalions postings. The
page will be upgraded over a period of time as and when fresh information
comes to light |
