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 30 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. |
