BLOOD CLOT:
IN COMBAT WITH THE PATROLS PLATOON, 3 PARA, AFGHANISTAN 2006
"As you know 'blood clot'
means blood cells coming together to form a strong clot that forms and
sticks together to keep the wound sealed enabling it to repair. The
Parachute Regiment's 'blood clot' acts the same, whether downtown
scrapping or in some far away country fighting alongside each other.
Our maroon berets come together, they stick together, they close ranks
forming the blood clot and fight against anything that comes their way."
(Jake
Scott)

The 10 Mile March
The departure time will be 1 15 from New Romney Little Railway Station Car park. This connects off of the 1230 little train from Hythe. For those coming by rail there are also buses from Folkestone Central Bus station
direct to New Romney. For those with cars they could park around the prince of
Wales pub area and either walk to the railway station or get the bus to New Romney from opposite the pub on the ranges side of the road. Bus timetable is attached. For those that cannot do the full distance I suggest perhaps they go to Dymchuch and get onto the sea front by the martello tower on the sea wall they can join us as we come through and do the last 3 miles.

The book has been seven years in the research/writing and is an in-depth history of Int Corps and Int gathering in ABF, from the start of ABF to the present.
Those of you who have served in ABF, either as Regulars, TA or National Service, will recognise many of the situations mentioned. Excellent reading and will keep you enthralled for hours!
The picture on the front cover of the book is that of (Then) Capt John Killick, Int Corps, the commander of 89 (Airborne) Field Security Unit, in a street in Arnhem, during the battle. He was trying to round up his unit and was looking, particularly, for Cpl Maybury. Cpl Maybury was in fact, in a school house not far from where this picture was taken. He had been badly wounded and was being attended by a local doctor and nurse - who were later shot - but unfortunately, he died of his wounds. (It's all in the book!)
Capt Killick later became Lt. Gen Sir John Killick, Ambassador to USSR and later, to NATO. He died recently and there is an obituary in the Pegasus Journal. |
