Quick one guys. I am ex REME. I work with a guiy who claims that he was in 2nd Bat Royal Irish Rangers, joining '88 ish... He claims to have served with this Battalion in Gibraltar. Does anyone know where 1 Royal Irish Rangers and 2 Royal Irish Rangers served between let's say between '88' and '94. I do recall that when I was at Fally there was a Royal Irish Battalion in Lemgo?!! about ''90 ish??!! I will respond to PMs.
There is nothing worse than someone claiming to have done something in the military when they haven't..... i.e.... they are lying b'tards!!!

You could ask in the 'contact us' bit. It also says about being in Gib if you read the history and there's loads of photos on the site. Contact us would be the best imo.

From what you've said, the point about them being in Gib answers your primary query though.

One of their Bns was in Osnatraz late 80's, Mainly serving in the front line at Miami Vice, getting punched by Green Jackets

They may have done some punching too of course, but only the happy memories remain

Seems I misread the Gib dates. RIR deployments apparently are:

Just make sure he wasn't attached to another unit first. Plenty Royal Irish I've seen with other units.

Hope you are sure of your facts.

A Bn of RIR were in the FI on Op ICE PICK in 1987, travelling courtesy of RFA Sir Lancelot. They returned via Gib. I dare say they had a memorable time when they got to Gib.
