Last of three programmes. 'You couldn't get down a street without at least two or three cups of tea being forced down you.... There was no
"Brits go home". It was "Yes please, Brits come here.'" The Regiment
In 1969, Jamie Daniell was a young subaltern in the Royal Green Jackets. His posting to Northern Ireland was his first taste of real soldiering since he'd joined the army. Two years later, on the afternoon of internment, he was shot through the chest by an IRA sniper. He miraculously survived and has just become a colonel in his regiment. In the third of his programmes about the human cost of the last
20 years, Peter Taylor looks at the soldiers themselves. When they first arrived on the streets, the Catholics hailed them as saviours: now they live constantly on their guard against the IRA's bombs and bullets, isolated from the community they came to protect.
