On the 1st September 1964, The 3rd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment came in to being when the three East Anglian Regiment's became The Royal Anglian Regiment. The 3rd Battalion was on duty in Berlin, guarding the last  three Nazi War criminals, Rudolf Hess, Albert Speer and Baldur Von Schirach in Spandau Prison, as well as the Russian War Memorial and patrolling the Berlin Wall.

It is proposed to try and collect as much information about the 3rd Battalion as possible in its short 28 year life before being Axed by the MOD and its men integrated into the 1st and 2nd Battalion's.

I could find very little information on the 3rd Battalion although I later came across a very good article written by Rod Leonard who had also served with me in Support Company in Aden. I also found several more old friend's and member's of the 3rd Battalion on the Aden Veterans Association Web site. Whilst searching for further information I came across the official MOD web site which gave very little information about the 3rd Battalion. 

I also came across a few web sites for the 1st Battalion but I found nothing for the 2nd and 3rd Battalion, so I decided to create and dedicate this site to the memory of all members of the old 3rd Battalion where ever they may be.
